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

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nibali playing jojo

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Yea, quite depressing.

Amazing stage though, a true queen stage, best one we've had since Mortirolo last year at least.

At least the fight for the stage is still open. Unless Contador just blows by everybody. 6 mins in 6km...

Get off the pipe, he's not catching Nieve.

 

[YoRUsh]

Kruijswijk gone again

 

[The Hitch]

Garzeli way way behind Nieve.

Only Contador can prevent a Basque 2 in a row now.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Haha yeah

Rujano isn't having problem with the steepness, but with the rain by the way (to those other people). Rujano is bad in cold

everyone ryo and dt mreged into one

Kruijswijk off the back.

 

[sulgpallur]

Who's taking bets now that Contador wins the stage?

how wont catch 6min

 

[XlandaluzeX]

Contador killin it

will 4 min-2,5km to go be enaught for Nieve ???

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Does this climb get steep again? If it doesnt than Nibali might hold it.

Rujano attacked

It does. The final 3KM are tough.

 

[Galic Ho]

Contador to take a minute out of Scarponi. The rest? Nibali will be lucky to only be 5 minutes down after today.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Kruijswijk still there wewt !

 

[Bala Verde]

Contador killin it

will 4 min-2,5km to go be enaught for Nieve ???

1minute per km.. so I'd say he has it in the bag.

Rujano attacked

The final 1.5km are avg around 12%, max 16%.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Is that Nibali back on the front of the favourites group?

 

[The Hitch]

Does this climb get steep again? If it doesnt than Nibali might hold it.

Rujano attacked

Last 3.5 k re the steepest 9.1 11.4 and 11.5% and the last 500m 10%.

So to answer your question, yes Rujano will fail

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Does this climb get steep again? If it doesnt than Nibali might hold it.

Rujano attacked

last 2 km are like 13-14% avg

edit: maybe I'm wrong actually...

 

[For The World]

The difference in speed between Contador and Nieve is unbelievable.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Nibali will be firing on all four cylinders soon.

LOL. Another good one!

 

[ggusta]

The final 1.5km are avg around 12%, max 16%.

looks like he just hit the ramp

 

[mr. tibbs]

I can only imagine Bjarne Vader's evil glee in the team car.

But hats off to Contador. You gotta give it to him: He is always willing to have a go if possible.

 

[GroupDK]

impressing that contador keeps taking the attack mode, a lot would just have sit by his competitors, when he already have so much time..

respect to contador..

 

[franciep10]

AC is hurting but still drilling it on the climb

 

[Publicus]

AC is putting a hammer lock on this Giro.
