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

[goggalor]

Who wins the KOM then?

 

[Descender]

Nibali was dead... he would have lost 7-10 minutes had Scarponi, Gadret etc. attacked on Finestre...

Shameful stuff. Deplorable stage.

 

[Moondance]

Who wins the KOM then?

Garzelli...

 

[jobiwan]

Who wins the KOM then?

Garzelli!!!!

 

[Bala Verde]

Gadret is already thanking his teammates for an excellent stage!

 

[superconfex]

Well... where ever TeamGadret finishes up tomorrow, he's my man of the Giro. The top 3 is predictable but Johnny 4th? who would have thought,
Bravo John Gadret

 

[Publicus]

So Scarponi has almost a 1'. He may be able to hold Nibbles off over 26KM.

 

[Anonymous]

apart from Garzelli winning the KOTM and Kiriyenka.... this stage is kind of a let down for me....

 

[ggusta]

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.

I just mean SOMETHING. ANYTHING to animate the stage. Guess they are exhausted! 240k stage. Perhaps they could have lopped a chunk off after the last 3 weeks. Mercy.

 

[The Hitch]

Rujano a minute down on Purito. Can he take that back tomorow?

Can Kreuziger and Menchov take them both?

Can they pass Gadret maybe?

Fascinating.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

nice ride by all the top 4 Kiri, Rujano, Purito, & Bettencourt

did Conti lose his mountain class jersey?

 

[Moondance]

Damn. Kruijswijk still has work to do in the TT tomorrow. Kruijsie has a second on Nieve, and a bit more on Sivtsov.

He should be able to hold in the TT though.

He'll finish 2nd. So that means his Giro is officially a bust.

No. Yes. And No.

hmmm. I think i meant points class

 

[Gloin22]

Nieve defended his Top 10. Great feat. doubt Kruijswijk can take almsot a minute on him tomorrow.

 

[thrawn]

Any of the other Aussies see Tomalaris say that Gadret was good at TTing? He based this on the mountain TT from last years Giro.

 

[ggusta]

did Conti lose his mountain class jersey?

They just showed it, I think he is down by 9 points.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

did Conti lose his mountain class jersey?

Conti lost the mountains jersey last weekend. He needed 12 points today to win it. He gained 2.

 

[luckyboy]

So after tomorrow it will be...

AC
Nibali
Scarponi
Gadret
Menchov
Kreuziger
Rujano
Rodriguez
Sivtsov
Nieve/Kruijswijk

Kruijswijk is 1 second in front

 

[Moondance]

Nieve defended his Top 10. Great feat. doubt Kruijswijk can take almsot a minute on him tomorrow.

Kruijswijk is ahead of him by one second.

Nieve lost just under three minutes to the Contador group. He's also at risk of losing Top-10 to Sivtsov, who is within striking distance of him.

 

[Publicus]

hmmm. I think i meant points class

Yeah he's had that one in the bag for awhile now.
