Giro d'Italia 2015: Stage 5: La Spezia – Abetone 152 kms MTF

[Sasquatch]

I don't get why some of these teams that are after stage wins aren't starting to chase.

 

[Red Rick]

Breakaway win garuanteed

 

[rhubroma]

What a lame pace. Che vergogna!

 

[Taxus4a]

The climb really star here, and there is the hardest part, later there is a plane before the real climb.

 

[Rollthedice]

Flecha going faster than the peloton while explaining how's the climb.

Re:

I dont think so, just 8 minutes, it is nothing and nobody is a great climber.

there is a lot to climb still.

 

[webvan]

20k to go, there might be a few more surprises after yesterday's unexpected stage...

 

[Sasquatch]

But it isn't a hard climb. We'll need a furious pace in the peloton if they want to win it.

Because they will be dropped by the favourites.

 

[Miburo]

If peloton goes full gass the whole time and no one in the break is rather strong, it's maybe possible to get them back.

But even then pretty unlikely imo.

They always do, yesterday too, never trust giro timers.

 

[rick james]

Bad time for a wheel change for Nieve

 

[Bushman]

The pace is definately too slow if Orica are on the front.

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

Konig better not be on a bad day.

 

[Opalius]

Time coming down fast, even though it looks like the peloton is taking a stroll.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Around 5.30 now, I timed it by that church in town

it not a bad climb, it a hard 1 st category, and nodofy remain in the breakaway with 8 km to go.

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

Kirienka is going extremely badly

 

[sir fly]

Well, the stage will be decided by the group of big guns.
It's not a bad epilogue of the first uphill finish.

 

[Opalius]

Pace upped. We might still see a gc battle; including for the stage win.

 

[Miburo]

Of course betancur gets the drink lol

Kudos to gerrans for his patience
