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

[The Hitch]

Rodriguez is going to catch Rujano

 

[Ferminal]

Go Michele!

 

[Moondance]

Kruijswijk leading out Scarponi

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Team Gadret is deposing the Pope.

Fixed.....

 

[goggalor]

I guess Contador is fine.

 

[jobiwan]

Contador just showing what he could have done.

 

[Ramira]

I know I expected Scarponi to try and take some time on Nibbles and I'm confused why I didn't. He certainly can't leave it to the TT.

And AC is STILL just chilling.

He's trying to take some time now, AC decided that he wanted to follow Scarponi cause it's fun.

 

[The Hitch]

Theyve cracked Nibali again.

 

[luckyboy]

Scarponi you suck

 

[maltiv]

Nibali has cracked like 5 times this giro. Yet he is in 3rd overall.

 

[Publicus]

Nice ride by JRod or did Rujano fade? Or both?

 

[Bala Verde]

my live feed died... is he losing ground now?

yes passed by an accelerating group of Scarponi, Kruijswijk and Contador.

Nibali cracking as welll as kreuziger

EDIT> Menchov hitches a ride to Contador group

 

[killswitch]

Great ride by Betancourt

 

[thirteen]

Rodriguez is going to catch Rujano

thank goodness NO

 

[maltiv]

Amazing ride by Betancourt too.

 

[The Hitch]

Dont think Rujano got enough time.

 

[Publicus]

He's trying to take some time now, AC decided that he wanted to follow Scarponi cause it's fun.

Something to pass the time.

 

[Ramira]

Nice ride by JRod or did Rujano fade? Or both?

Considering that Rujano didn't get any closer and Purito took quite some time on Menchov I'm guessing a bit of both.

 

[Publicus]

Nibbles is gutted. Did he lose 30"?

 

[The Hitch]

Nibali loses 22 seconds. So will be 58 behind Scarponi.

Too much unless Michele gets a flat imo.

 

[spalco]

Surprisingly little selection among the top favourites today considering how difficult the stage was.

 

[luckyboy]

4.43 rujano
4.50 rodriguez
5.54 gadret
5.59 scarponi, ac, kruijs, menchov
6.16 kreuziger
6.23 nibali

 

[Bala Verde]

+20s for Nibali...

Kruijswijk should have attacked earlier, to put time on Kreuziger...

 

[Parrulo]

nibali cracked big time today

 

[maltiv]

How pathetic it would it be if Contador's Giro victory is given to Scarponi...
