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

[Publicus]

Will the other favorites try to put time into Nibbles??

EDIT: And apparently one DOES use energy on the descent, even the really great descenders.

Why surprised about Kruijswijk? I rate him as an underrated young rider. I rate him ahead of Kreuziger.

Gesink and Kruijswijk are going to be a formidable pair in a few years time.

Nibbles cracks.

I am amazed by Kruijswijk.

 

[El Pistolero]

Nibali cracking. Another one that has to pay the toll the next day of keeping up with Contador on one mountain stage.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Garzelli still had 8'30" on Contador at the last time check.

BUT

Nieve has pulled his advantage over him to just 48".

nibali

clearly contador smelled blood and decided to bite the shark himself

 

[larryduff]

Anton is behind all other GC podium contenders by looks of it. Hope he can get back

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Scarponi could be winning the Giro here.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Contador looks a bit ****ed.

 

[mr. tibbs]

Nibbles........

;_; So sad. Seems everyone else is racing for Contador's chamois.

 

[Ramira]

Ouch.. apparently it cost him too energy.

Actually I'm thinking it's the other way around, he knew he wasn't good (might have used to much energy yesterday) and tried to take some time on the descent to make up for it, clearly it didn't work out for him though.

Hey Popo, disappearing from them like they were the feds...

They have been training together a bit...

I hope he doesn't bonk. It's 229K

Ok this will be the 1000+ posts stage!

Pretty sure the tour in a few years time will look like this:

1. Gesink
2. Kruijswijk
3. Kelderman
4. Mollema
5. Slagter

I can't believe I've waited this long to figure out how to hook up the laptop to the TV. Watching cycling on the big screen is SO much better.

 

[aarnold517]

does anyone else realize john gadret might be moving onto the podium

 

[zapata]

Nibali will recompose and limit the damage,

 

[Publicus]

Where's Anton?

EDIT: How far to the top for the Contador group?

 

[Ferminal]

Oh, I didn't realise Arroyo was still out the front. That was a nice gap he had.

 

[El Pistolero]

Contador's teammate doesn't want to help

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Omfg Scarponi rides back to Contador!!

 

[Bala Verde]

the groups is getting back to Contador.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Ok this will be the 1000+ posts stage!

I plan on posting about 3o00 hype posts so yes I agree

anyway back together, but a lot of guys struggling.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Arroyo caught, and the Scarponi group catching Contador/Kruijswijk/Rujano too!
