So will Landa actually attack in the town of Meana?

Re:

It will be very interesting to see what Kroupis does today. Does he go for the stage win or try to regain the blue jersey?

The fact that Intxausti or Visconti didn't go into the break suggests that they think they can keep up with Kruijswijk. If Kruijswijk attacks at the base, Intxausti can go with him as shown yesterday. But if the climb is drilled by Astana/Saxo then Kruijswijk will get himself the jersey by just following wheels. I think that a tempo will be ridden enough for Kruijswijk and Intxausti to get up the road and within reaching distance like on those two climbs yesterday.

Did Boem grab the sprint points at the first intermediate sprint?

If Kruijswijk goes at the bottom I don't think Intxausti can keep up with him the whole climb.

My friend talked yeterday with him, but not today, so I couldnt send that information.. I hope he read Meana and attack

Seriously, I just hope to have a nice stage, as Finestre deserves.

I do

At the start of the Giro Movistar expected Intxausti to get top 5. At the end of the day he's a good climber. He's kept his powder dry the last week. The only action he's done is sprint for points yesterday. So he's the fresher of the two. That will count for something on this climb.

Re: Re:

What was it in Sam's post that so many people disagree with. Seems like a sensible one to me.

It's not so much the content but rather the way he puts it which is obviously to stir trouble and provoke people to reply (iow bait). SeriousSam is very good at this. Semi-sensible posts of which you cannot be sure if it is a serious post or a troll post.

So many have been bait that I just assume they are all bait and ignore them.

Some people I guess have never stepped outside of the prr section. In the general thread its quite normal for people to celebrate deaths, deny minorities rights, tell people they are going to hell (well I say people I mean mostly echoes but also other posters) and other things like this.
In the clinic. My god, the things people like martinvickers, BPC, Joachim were able to get away with, I think you guys would have tried to get them arrested. Sam gets abused for saying Contador has been unremarkable in a race in which Contador has been unremarkable is baiting now? Please

Did Juan Antonio just F-bomb?

I once called Red Rick the mvp of race threads but this year it looks like there is a new Most Valuable Poster.

Think Taxus actually asked this question in the Landa thread first.

Re: Re:

Landa should attack early on Finestre with Contador and keep a tough pace. That way he can win the stage and take back his second place, which he deserves.

You really think that Landa can attack all the way up to the Finestre?

well people has been saying Landa is the strongest climber. so "technically" he should be able . AC on the other hand is definitely can and I hope he attacks today. Hope the running to Finestre is smooth.

what's the km and time difference now? moto2 didn't show timecheck or km.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I'm worried that Astana will go to the front soon and drop Moto2. I hope we have other live feeds by then.

 

[ILovecycling]

Looks like a fast pace now, maybe AC didnt lie this time

The TV has just put images of the Monastery that inspired the famous novel of Umberto Eco: "The name of the rose", Sacra di San Michelle.

Any chance Rujano will cheat himself into the race a la Ricco!?
