Giro d'Italia 2016 St 20 Guillestre–S.Anna di Vinadio 134 km

[Praying Mantis]

Most of the peloton detached immediately it seems. Nice.

 

[trevim]

I'm hoping for Dombrowski or epic Nieve to win today.

Looking forward to see Nibali taking the maglia rosa although Chaves is such a nice guy that I will be happy if he wins as well

 

[SafeBet]

Break: Denifl, Visconti, Nieve, Foliforov, Kangert, Dombro, Puma, Brambilla. Ulissi trying to bridge.

 

[Txrt]

Vamos Mikel, King of the Mountains.

 

[SafeBet]

Rybalkin and Taaramae also trying to bridge.

 

[Praying Mantis]

Rybalkin, Taaramäe somewhere in the middle

Cunego going to lose his jersey today. That really sucks

Re:

NIeve will have to earn it - quite a lot of attackers in that break. They could end up sharing the points and Cunego keeping it

 

[Txrt]

A very good break this is.

 

[Andro]

Folifororv and Visconti sprinting for the intermediate sprint? Why do either of them care about that?

 

[ILovecycling]

Lol Foliforov

El puma ftw

Re:

El puma ftw

He is just Chaves "teammate" in the break

 

[SafeBet]

Peloton already 4 minutes behind.

 

[trevim]

I hope Nieve gets the KOM jersey. Nobody should win it by taking points on intermediate stages, it should reward the long raids in the very high mountains.

 

[HelloDolly]

Can't see the break making tthough ....Astana need al lthe seconds ...suppose Nieve will be happy with the KOM points

That would be kinda weird though, after all the effort Chaves did to catch him in that one stage (although he did try to gain time too of course)

Most definitely. Nieve is a very, very good winner. Master of the big mountain stages.

 

[phil-i-am]

Peloton almost stopped pedalling

 

[Laplaz]

Orica has no one in the break...

Going to be the main man on Ventoux for Froome in July (as he was in 2013 alongside Contador)

 

[saganftw]

if astana wants bonus seconds at the end of the stage,they better start pulling because the break has far too many good climbers and orica at the front is doing snail pace at the moment

 

[doperhopper]

what a "street art"

 

[Laplaz]

Great job by Denifl
