Giro d'Italia 2011 Stage 20: Verbania - Sestriere 242km

[hfer07]

Rujano dropped Betancourt- damn

 

[Lance Armstrong]

The gap to Contador group has gone out to 5'42.

Don't trust GPS. It's more like 2:42.

 

[zapata]

There you go

 

[Eshnar]

Attacks by Jrod

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Scarponi has Ullisi there now too.

Rujano has dispatched Betancourt.

 

[Parrulo]

In a madhouse?

most likely

ty purito

 

[Publicus]

Finally some action. JRod goes.

 

[maltiv]

is kiriyenka on something?

This is probably the first time I can remember seeing someone from the initial breakaway go up a climb much faster than the GC contenders who, while not going full gas, should still make up time on him...

 

[Bala Verde]

Jrod Kreuzwijk and Menchov, attakc.

at least the up the pace.

 

[jobiwan]

Great crowds at the top!

EDIT: Finally someone attacks!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

And Kruijswijk and Menchov go - so Kruijswijk wasn't as close to implosion as first thought.

 

[killswitch]

Wow Kruijswijk!

edit: Nibs in trouble!

 

[Eshnar]

Nibbles in trouble

 

[jobiwan]

Nibali at the back???

 

[Parrulo]

nibali and scarponi suffering

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I guess that's the reason why Szmyd wasn't going faster

 

[superconfex]

Nibs hanging out the back

 

[Publicus]

Is that Nibbles? Yes it is.

 

[thrawn]

Nibali cracking.

 

[Bala Verde]

No wonder the pace was so low...

Nibali is cracking, the I-talians circuitry is blowing a fuse or 2

 

[jobiwan]

Perhaps one climb too many for Nibali.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

And now we see why Kiryienka was gaining time - Nibali needed the Liqui slower pace as he's imploding.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Scarponi and Nibbles in trouble!

 

[luckyboy]

Nibali falling back.

 

[Moondance]

Jrod Kreuzwijk and Menchov, attakc.

at least the up the pace.

Have Roman and Steven joined forces, fusing into one rider or something?
