[thrawn]

damn cadel cracked

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I think he will get over a minute here from evans.
excellent ride.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Evans is completely collapsing now

 

[Cobblestones]

OMG awesome. Go Basso!

 

[El Imbatido]

UFO Basso is back

 

[dresch]

Evans is baked, he's going to hurt himself here.

 

[Mellow Velo]

2010 Giro Evans starting to look like 2002 Giro Evans.....

 

[issoisso]

evans has really cracked. this is not good.

As Scarponi said: the best way to lose a lot of time on this climb is follow the pace of someone stronger.

 

[Publicus]

Evans better hope he can recover.

 

[BroDeal]

Jeebus. Basso looks good.

 

[Jamsque]

evans has really cracked. this is not good.

Yeah it looks like he has blown up, if Scarponi or Cunego catches him then he is in trouble.

 

[Moondance]

Wow.... Look at Basso's high cadence. He's flying.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

wow big gap.
30 seconds

 

[bobs nob]

Boom goes the dynamite!

ohhh yeahhh.

Ball State uber alles

 

[issoisso]

Evans half a minute behind

 

[franciep10]

this is eerily similar to 2006 Giro

 

[Parrot23]

Why was Evans standing so much? Esp. a heavier guy. Will kill the legs faster, esp. on a bigger guy. Bertie's smaller, can stand for long.

 

[issoisso]

So Basso gets 30 secs in 500 metres.....and there's 3000 to go.

*wonders*

 

[Jamsque]

The Gazzetta commentators just said 'It's been four years since we saw Basso in this kind of form at the Giro'.

Whoops.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gogo Basso, wow 30 seconds

 

[Cobblestones]

Cuddles is completely, utterly cooked. Looks like he's not moving at all.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

So, let's move to Clinic. Has Basso a thread there?

I think if Evans was ever going to win a GT, this was his chance. Too bad, I was kind of rooting for him...even if ACF made me want to hate him at every turn.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Scarponi is making up time to Evans?

 

[luckyboy]

34 secs with 2.8km to go
