Re:

LOL.

Only Tinkoff and Astanas in the Top 5. Nobody else within 2 minutes.

Well Porte could be within 2' if not for that dastardly Aussie collusion!

So is Duran Duran getting back to business? Looked good today

 

[Fernandez]

How many stages could have won Valverde if he had been in this Giro?

 

[indianfanboy]

Gilbert what a beast....Contador like a boss

Re:

Contador is is megsismega strong. That strength will show in TT

Relative to this field, anyway. Remember that FQN aren't here.

As I stated, Aru clearly has some issues. Otherwise he would've beaten Contador in this sprint, just like he did last week!

The strange thing is, that Aru was expected to be in top-shape from Saturday on. He stated himself multiple times, that his peak will be for the last week. Now, in fact he was stronge than expected last week already, but clearly has become weaker now.

Maybe he is just saving it? Trying to jut get through this week and then use all his energy from Saturday on? You know what a mean. In that case I expect him to be much much stronger on Saturday / Sunday and Tuesday!

Either that, or he's health issues and/or is fatigued!

this stage proved that Giro have less talent that the tour. Huge gaps on a hilly stage

He may well accomplish a hat-trick of 2nd places in the Giro.

Not many. I mean on paper, he could have won most of them, but the breakaway has succeeded most of the time.

Re:

Gilbert thanks god Valverde wasnt there

Well, Gilbert is probably faster than Valverde if the hill isn't too step and both have reasonably fresh legs.

Wow he looks practically dead! Look at the bags under his eyes...exhausted!

Underestimating the great Vincenzo ?

A lot of riders probably took it very slowly down that second descent after the crashes on the first descent. Time does not matter to 80%+ of the field anyway. No reason to take even the slightest risk in the wet when there is nothing to gain.

Great Gilbert. Very poor by Astana and quite a weak Aru. I Still think they had to try something in that downhill. It's only 17 seconds but it seems like minutes now.

This TT is really gonna kill Aru. Uran OTOH will demolish everyone.

Will be minutes in 2 days.

Tour will be great. Contador will be in top form by then and beat Froome again

 

[Velolover2]

How much is Contador leading by now? He created gaps to both Aru and Porte.

It's not going to be Vuelta 2012 again.

I dont think Gilbert has ever won a sprint to Valverde
