Giro d'Italia Stage 15: Conegliano - Gardeccia-Val di Fassa 229km

[Bala Verde]

the blue guy isn't that kreuziger, in a jacket?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

woo pretty sure I saw in Kruijswijk there.

 

[thrawn]

All of the other riders should now make Contador do all of the work.

 

[Tuarts]

Nibali getting his rage on during the descent. He'll want to have a 30s gap because you'd expect Contador to get his rage on going up!

 

[The Hitch]

Uphill starts immediately after the descent, as seen by fact that Garzelli is already pacing himself up grades.

woo pretty sure I saw in Kruijswijk there.

yes and Kreuziger was dropped just before the top.

Sure, Roman will return, but if he drops again on the next climb. Kruijswijk might take the white jersey

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Arroyo abandons his attack and sits behind Contador so the maglia rosa has to pull nibbles back on his own.

 

[killswitch]

woo pretty sure I saw in Kruijswijk there.

He's doing great this Giro.

All of the other riders should now make Contador do all of the work.

+1

 

[Bala Verde]

+24 for Nibali only.

+1 (charecters)

 

[zapata]

Nieve still second behind garzelli? Might consider waiting for anton. Long wait, though. Noone else will have many domestiques left

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

This stage certainly looks like it could create some massive gaps and losses.

 

[aarnold517]

this is working out great for anton. AC has to work himself to bring nibs back, allowing anton a free ride to his teammate waiting up the road

 

[Ramira]

Is it just me or does it seem that Contador is actually working on the descent while Nibali is simply gliding down, that might help Nibali a tiny bit on the climb.

 

[Ferminal]

Seriously, Contador doing all his own work, 45km to go, with two cat 1s to go, or an HC and a cat 1 in the other money. Ridiculous.

 

[Publicus]

I guess we will really see what AC has today.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

+1 (charecters)

yes, but Kreuziger was dropped just before the top of the last climb. Ofcourse he returned in the downhill, but no good sign

 

[Eshnar]

Rai commentators saying it's raining heavily on Gardeccia

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Nieve still second behind garzelli? Might consider waiting for anton. Long wait, though. Noone else will have many domestiques left

he has a pretty good classification tho.
He could get in the top 10 today.

 

[Bala Verde]

Contador shouldn't forget to eat....

 

[GoAndyGo]

Phew.. Nibali just about blew a corner. He had to brake hard and stand his bike up straight.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Garzelli wins some anti-aging cream!

 

[zapata]

This is the way to construct a queen-stage. No extreme climbs, but lots of them

 

[Ildabaoth]

I wasn't so sure about Nibali's descending skills, probable because I just watched him doing nice in a descent last once during last year's Giro, so it could be just some hype. But he is really great.
