Cav. There's a subtle drag uphill for the final kilometres, and the sprint is on a 4% uphill.

Ventoso FTW.

Why are they ruining all the potential spring stages by having uphill finishes.

 

[Jamsque]

That isn't an uphill finish, 100m at 4% makes very little difference. The sprinters will maybe have to wait till 150 to go to launch but whoever kicks fastest at that point will be able to hold their speed up the slope.

Another pancake flat sprinters' stage, Contador is going to win it

LOL? Seriously?

Dont tease him so much cuz He is in full attack mode!

I feel like putting my money on Ferrari... He has an outstanding form!
But Alejet or Ventoso would be the safe bet...
IF Ventoso takes it again my Velogames team will thank him

2nd rest day.

 

[Ferminal]

Cav finally gets his win!

 

[barn yard]

petacchi again

 

[The Hitch]

So far every stage has had a different team win. How long can they keep it up.

Probably ends tomorow with Lampre HTC and Androni being the favourites.

Sp we will tip one of Colnago's sprinters to win then

It's either this or stage 12 that the sprinters can win.

 

[Tuarts]

1. Pettachi
2. Ventoso
3. Vicisio
4. Kristoff ( )
5. Cavendish

 

[Ryaguas]

1. Pettachi

Fixed for ya!

Yep Belleti is a good tip tho... Maybe Gatto to strike again? I still hold my choice... Ferrari FTW!

Its soo obvious.

Cav.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Kristoff ftw. Hopefully he can get into a good position for the sprint.

 

[will10]

Kristoff ftw. Hopefully he can get into a good position for the sprint.

Lol.

Petacchi for his second.

 

[veganrob]

Is it a straighter run in to the finish? Cav to kick a$$ here. He is frustrated and does not take defeat well. He gets even

 

[just some guy]

1 - Petacchi

2 - Kristoff

3 - Crybaby Cav

 

[auscyclefan94]

Kristoff is starting to become favourable amongst posters! I am liking this! Now i feel more upbeat about him doing well I might wake up at 12:40am and watch the last half hour.

Totally agree, said so in Rest day thread.

 

[Cimber]

Could be a break since SBS wont work to defend the jersey this early. If it ends in a sprint I think Petacchi will take it, though my heart says Cav, and I am sure he is so very eager to win

Thats because its the crazy giro. dont tell me you prefer having a boring old pan flat sprint with cav winning. TGAK for the win!

 

[Climbing]

Ahah! They passing by my home! (Pescara)
Beware because here atm it's rainy and extremely windy and don't trust the end, cause it's tricky for the legs, trust me I know it firsthand

I've just messaged him on twitter. I gave encouragement and told him to stick on Wyss' wheel until 200m (not 300m) and then launch your sprint.
All is good now Kristoff has guidance from ACF.

Ya you should coach him on his positioning which he has been improving on. Not sure if he will get a leadout.
