Giro d'Italia Stage 14: Ferrara - Asolo (205km)

[sportzchick]

time gaps won't be too big i think.

true - id like to see more though

 

[hfer07]

NIbali is flying-wow

 

[Jamsque]

Nibali is ****ing bombing down this hill, Il Falco would be proud.

 

[sportzchick]

Come On Cadel! One last hurah today!!!!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Kiserlovski is also in that big group. Damn

Meh, there are stages to come, where time gaps will happen.

And I think the pink is a little out of his reach anyway (the break away is to blame for this though, he is - imo- the strongest youngster here. Good signs for future GT prospects.

so at the moment gc wise, it looks like arroyo???
with about 5-6 minutes seperating the top 7 or so...

hoping nibali will at least win the stage, even if the time gaps won't be remarkable.

Any gap will be remarkable. It'll jump Nibali in front of all the other contenders.

Not to mention he has over 40 seconds!

 

[goggalor]

Il Falco lives!

 

[Highlander]

42 seconds between Nibali and the other 3 - that is ridiculous how bad they are at descending.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Nibali recieved something from the car within the last 20 kms, could he get a time penalty for that, or just a fine/point penalty?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

It'll be close, Arroyo only had 2 minutes or so on Porte at the summit, so a good descent and TT in by Porte could even keep it.

Why is Gerdemann going to annoy everyone? Firstly, who has a problem with Gerdemann? Secondly, does anybody REALLY think he's going to be there for more than 30 seconds on Zoncolán?

He's Italian. You do the math.

+1 deserves it for his efforts.
He was the only who caused the major splits on the climb also.

looks like vino took 8 seconds off evan's group at the last check

 

[auscyclefan94]

i think basso group will get sucked up on the flat. how much flat is there?

 

[thrawn]

3'21 to the sastre group, they should stay away i think.

 

[issoisso]

He's Italian. You do the math.

Funny how some people love to keep saying that about the italians but can never come up with past examples

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kiserlovski and Karpets riding away from the Sastre group

 

[zapata]

how long before it flattens out? if nibali gets 30-40 seconds on evans & co, plus time bonus, and a stage win, it's a very good day.

should be if evans got one!

If Vino can catch on then they will do better.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Na. I think they are too far ahead to be caught by the big group.
I'd still expect a 1 min + gain. Not sure what the time diff. is at the moment.

Fair point, but what are the rules?

It's not just Italians. Everyone gets treated a little bit better at home.

Maybe not by the jury, but the RAI has influenced results more than once.
