Giro d'Italia Stage 13: Porto Recanti - Cesenatico (223km)

[kjetilraknerud]

They were hardly going as hard as they could, so they have a lot more left in the tank. In the next two stages we'll see Szmyd back to his 2009 form.

Not exactly a magic Karpets ride.

Hey! No need to be so down on Karpets. The race really floored him today.

I don't know, he's looking a little frayed around the edges

 

[kjetilraknerud]

What's wrong with Karpets' ride? If the gaps stay like this, he'll be above Evans in GC tonight.

Edit: Which is probably also part of the reason Liquigas was leading the pack, he'll be above Basso and Nibali as well.

Henderson FTW

 

[Cobblestones]

There was no need to roll out the Karpets in front of the riders. The ground isn't wet or slippery.

 

[Fourier]

we should vote for who'll get the "golden mullet" prize for the best Karpets pun.

haha i'm loving the karpets puns the last few days, he's always been one of my favorite riders, mostly because of that wild creature he keeps tucked in the back of his helmet

It looks like he picked up some roadkill to pad his helmet.

there havn't been any good ones so far

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Karpets is soon virtually above Vino on GC as well.

 

[Fourier]

anyway, that roadkill helmet ornament is more fashionable than the Footon kit.

 

[aarnold517]

did i just see that right, did evans actually have teammates around him?

easy tempo

This Karpets thing is wearing a little thin. Let's sweep it under the rug.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

A BMC rider at the front of the peloton!

I agree, it's getting kind of old and dusty

 

[Fourier]

a victory for Rabobank on a GT? they could really use one right now

 

[Jamsque]

The group at the front has come back together again with 5km to go. Hendy could still win this!

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Horrach has actually dropped down to pull Karpets even further up on GC.

 

[simmspin]

Get in there Henderson!!!

Would be a pretty poor show if he didn't really, no other sprinters in there.

 

[Highlander]

It looks like Karpets picked up a couple of minutes on the main field, but he had to use so much energy to do so that I don't really understand what the point was

 

[afpm90]

My bet is in a Manuel Beletti win.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Plz not Henderson. Let him win bunch sprints ;p
