Kennaugh finished, brilliant. Well done to him.

 

[Big GMaC]

Michael Barry. LOL

 

[Spare Tyre]

No wonder the Gazzetta site is taking a while to load. We're all sitting there hitting refresh every few seconds.

G'night all.

********. The one stage i'm not able to see any of turns out to be the stage of the year(decade?).

 

[Libertine Seguros]

With the points for Rifugio Gardeccia added, the GPM looks like this:

1 Garzelli 62
2 Nieve 39
3 Contador 38

 

[superconfex]

127 under 1hr 7 so far

 

[LukeSchmid]

I really doubt Kristoff is going to make it.

Cardoso and Rabon abandoned today as well as Lancaster and Oroz.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Sylwester Szmyd +38'57". Anybody who thinks he's trying just got their answer.

 

[The Hitch]

I think in my OP presentation i under-hyped the stage.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Could get white jersey if his tt doesn't suck.

how come people think his ITT suck? He was 7th in Romandie ITT

Short term memory of VRT and El Pistoletje

I'm more worried about the climbing time trial. Last year he did one that was not exactly good

1 Garzelli 62
2 Nieve 39
3 Contador 38

Hmm, Garzelli should be able to hold on from there.

Contador only has the ITT, Finestre and Sestriere to contend.

It will be close, I guess, depends how hard Saxo want to work for it.

 

[dlwssonic]

so how is the top 20 gc

 

[LukeSchmid]

Sylwester Szmyd +38'57". Anybody who thinks he's trying just got their answer.

He is sick?

I enjoyed discussing whether he was the next climbing great with over excited Australians in January.

 

[The Hitch]

To be fair, Euskaltel did say they were coming here for stage victories first, and GC second. They've now got two stage wins - and two incredibly memorable ones. This one today in one of the most epic Grand Tour stages we've seen in a long time (I'm actually tempted to rate it higher than all bar maybe Mortirolo last year, but I'll wait until some time has passed before making a judgment like that) - it's a shame Antón dropped so much time, but then again he wasn't exactly expecting a high GC, just hoping to do something with it if it arose.

Damn right. Only Mortirolo last year compares.

 

[Tuarts]

I think in my OP presentation i under-hyped the stage.

Shame on you!

Was great
