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

[Moose McKnuckles]

Gadret not far. Nicely done.

Nibbles suffering.

 

[Big GMaC]

They are crawling!

 

[GroupDK]

Nibali is loosing min. to contador again today....

 

[The Hitch]

Anyone know where Menchov is?

 

[Big GMaC]

Rujano on his clown bike!

 

[zapata]

Nibali impressive in the end, after all.

 

[XlandaluzeX]

TXAPELDUN.

This is what a queen stage should be. 7.5 hours, 5 major climbs, Basque win.

agree

hats off for Mikel aka The Snowman

I think Contador went a bit too hard at the bottom of the climb, considering how it ramped up at the end. He looked cooked.

Was that Gadret finishing in front of the second best climber in the world, Rujano?

[hfer07]

what a massacre- Nieves barely crossed the line
great stage

 

[Mellow Velo]

That was a truly epic 7 and a half hours of the Giro.
I love these huge stages that typify the race.
Eat yer heart out TDF.

 

[goggalor]

Crazy stage.

I think Contador went a bit too hard at the bottom of the climb, considering how it ramped up at the end. He looked cooked.

His pedalling was still smoothest.

 

[zapata]

I'm exhausted. That was a glorious stage.

I agree. Scarponi rode sensibly as well.
