Giro d'Italia Stage 12: Città Sant'Angelo - Porto Recanti (206km)

[Roland Rat]

I think it's fitting - the only boring day of the Giro falls on the day of the biggest scandal since OP.

Yes, if this scandal had broken yesterday it's highly likely I would have been sacked for not doing anything. It's been bad enough as it is.

Dimspace had an email read out on the Eurosport coverage earlier BTW, but my feed cut out before I could hear it.

[edit] oh well, Pippo's not up for it today.
[edit] Tommy Voeckler going!

 

[trompe le monde]

Ooh, Oscuro may finally get to have a name - Francesco Failli.

 

[Francois the Postman]

Must be a real ****er, winning a Giro stage on the day that not a single paper in the world will have space left to mention it.

 

[Jamsque]

We're getting a little mini-San Remo situation here. I like Garmin to bring this back, although HTC have a man up the road so they won't help.

Voekler goes and blows right past the three Italians

Go Vino!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Vino, Basso, lol

 

[luckyboy]

This is looking more interesting now..

 

[taiwan]

Nibali and Vinokouov in this move now.

'Il Bigs' riding every day in this Giro FFS.

 

[The Sheep]

aah its nibali

 

[Hugo Koblet]

God I love the Giro! A pretty boring stage becomes interesting all of a sudden and out of nowhere. This would never have happened in the Tour.

 

[zapata]

scarponi, nibali garzelli as well

 

[trompe le monde]

Cunego at the front as well.


edit:Is he? Pozzato is.

 

[Jamsque]

Evans is coming across.

Rai commentators talking some smack about his team.

I expect this to come back together in not too long, unless the roads are super narrow and twisty until the finish.

 

[therhodeo]

And again the race gets crazy out of nowhere.

 

[The Sheep]

All this effort for a few seconds, yesterday they lost minutes and didn't want to do ****

 

[Francois the Postman]

Evans might as well show up without a team. Really has to do it by himself these days.

 

[zapata]

pozzato looking to win the stage

 

[sportzchick]

Vino & Basso

where is Cadel?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Evans might as well show up without a team. Really has to do it by himself these days.

This.

There was even a BMC rider in 20-25th position doing nothing.

 

[The Sheep]

where is Cadel?

Peleton but Garmin will take them back

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Evans is in the peloton

 

[ak-zaaf]

Dumb move by Millar.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Haha. Garmin attacks!
