Giro d'Italia Stage 11: Lucera - L'Aquila (262km)

[JesusManzano]

Astana, BMC, Liquigas isnt chasing at all in the maglia rosa group. Androni/Aqua Sapone doing all the work and they are not chasing that hard either. more teams and riders working together in the front group.

And its another day with rain

 

[I Watch Cycling In July]

yes, the radiocorsa keeps saying 15min ish then swapping back to gruppo maglia rosa 6'30....I think the 6'30 is wrong

 

[hektoren]

could be a typo prehaps?

Other tickers all say around 18 minutes.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Okay... That would change everything.

But how could CN be SOOO wrong? Almost impossible

If CN are wrong I will go over there and I will strangle every single one of them!


(except susan)

[issoisso]

*Thinks Arroyo suddenly has a chance of winning a Grand Tour*

Still, a loooooong way to go, both today and to the end of the Giro.

 

[Ibanez]

I'm supposed to be revising. But this is proving very distracting indeed!

[Tyke1968]

I'm watching a live feed which was linked to on the twitter feed and the gap is 16:56!

 

[Sasquatch]

Some people are nuts if they think Richie Porte will win this Giro or come top five. He's in his first grand tour, he'll lose a lot of time in the third week and finish in the autobus on a few occasions.

 

[tgsgirl]

Apocalypse Now - hailstones hammering escape, crashes in the pelotom, time gap 16 minutes halfway thru' stage..epic stuff in the Giro!

This Giro rules.

 

[BroDeal]

How about now?

The house is on fire, and his stocks of vegamite are in danger of going up in smoke. The flames are starting to lick at the edges of all the Cadel posters.

 

[dresch]

Just signed up specifically to lay Evans, Vino, Niabli and Basso on betfair but Australian law means I can't bet 'in race'. Arggggh.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Why does justin tv have little kiddies on screen in lycra talking about cycling?

GET THEM ****ING OFF!

Haha. ACF94 what would you pay for an early 90's MTB poster of Cadel?

 

[BroDeal]

This is not a break. It is a split in the peloton.

The distance and hills will thin the front group out by the end, making the chase easier.

you want the kiddies to get them off? You're a sick, sick man. Cadel would disapprove of you.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Thanks for you reassuring words Bro!

BroDeal for PM of forum!

You can do it over the phone but it is nowhere near as efficient. I could create a 10 page thread on the number of times not being able to bet via the internet in play has cost me on cycling.

No, make that a 20 page thread.
