Giro d'Italia 2015: Stage 4: Chiavari – La Spezia 150 kms

[Parrulo]

Pretty cool how often this hilly stages the giro does deliver.

All races should do more of this.

 

[Publicus]

I love the Giro.

Whatever happens it seems that Kreuziger will have about 5 minutes on the favorites. Can't understand why Sky and Astana let the margin grow so much. Sure they had guys in the break, but not someone as strong as Kreuziger.

 

[deValtos]

So it's Trofimov or Zakarin ... no one seems sure.

 

[damian13ster]

Kreuziger should just solo it. From you guys it sounds like he is always on the front anyway. Would love to see Tinkoff DS' and Contador's reaction

You probably need a plugin to fake your IP as an italian one to see this.

Trofimov

 

[May0maniac]

A Katusha rider is at the back of the group, maybe Zakarin?

Re:

Sky calling everybody's bluff. I quite like it.

What did they do?

 

[the sceptic]

this last climb is just screaming for a Contador attack..

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

The first two groups will come back together, and some riders will return to the peloton. However it is all going to explode again on the last climb.

Astana seem to be on a different level as a team to everybody else.

Trofimov

Damn

 

[Catwhoorg]

Sounds even better than the York-Sheffield stage last year.

When they decide to race these medium mountain stages, they can be very dramatic and selective.

 

[HelloDolly]

Where is JvDB ??

The other wheelsuckers in his group would never let him get 1 meter.

Re:

my only beef with this stage is that we don't get regular updates on the time gaps.. how hard can that be?

I agree. It's like watching with blinders on. We don't have good info.

Indeed. multiple hills and not an overly long flat road to the finish seems to produce good racing

Quite hard today.

What a stage. Astana strongest team in this Giro it seems. I mean their TTT with all those climbers was crazy allready and now this. They still got 2 ahead as well

 

[rhubroma]

Astana really pulling hard now, looks like the gap will be much less than I initially thought.

 

[the sceptic]

Seems like astana might bring everyone back.. ***

Peloton within 6 minutes of the leaders.

Re: Re:

ILNUR is there!!!!

Apparently.

Thank god. Would have been a huge let down if he couldn't keep up today.

Sorry, that is not correct. I was quoting the Bein SPort commentators who saw him. But then they decided it wasn't.

My fault. After not listening to Kirby for a year I lost my natural inclination to call into question everything the commentators say.

Re: Re:

Pozzovivo on RAI Sport.

What did he say?

That he doesn't remember the accident, that he's fine..cannot wait to go racing again (TdS)....

I think for Movistar is Ruben Fernandez in peloton (n,114)

 

[Arredondo]

Re:

He's in the group Contador

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Basso should retire after the Giro.
