That low cadence climbing style of his is not good for super steep stuff.

No, I kept thinking as they were climbing that he was going to pay for that heavy gear. Also, standing the whole time eats energy even more.

Esp. all that standing on the lower half of the climb. Suicidal to stand at bottom.

What a way to celebrate your first on-the-road win in 4 years



No offense at all, but....you didn't see the 2006 Giro, did you? It was far more impressive than this. He was incredible.

The competition was terrible there Isso. The starting field was poo

That starting field beat Andy Schleck the next year

Monster it Cadel. G'waaaan.

 

[El Imbatido]

Evans still has motos and other stuff behind him so scarponi can't be that close

 

[Mellow Velo]

One minute. Massive gaps in the making.

 

[Galic Ho]

Shame Cadel had the Righi altercation. He needs that time back. Ivan has returned. Shocked...but he had shades of it yesterday. Not shocked at Vincenzo though.

I agree.
He just did it too easy, all giro long.

Basso is having a fine ride today, and has looked stronger as the giro has gone on.

 

[Moondance]

Wow, Evans is fighting sooo hard.

Beautful.

Arroyo is 3'14 down. Bad, obviously, but not as bad as it might've been

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Evans has had it...
Amazing our diesel Basso is off his saddle!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Basso above the magic 1 minute mark

I hope no on eis eaten by a grue in that tunnel.

agreed, this is 2006 basso.

Dude, poor form to throw doping charges every time your hero gets beat. Please note that he is beating a doped Vino to hear you tell it. People in glass houses and all...

 

[Jamsque]

Look at all those goddamn tifosi

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

a lot of people.. wow!
evans fighting like a champion.

I think he posts on these forums sometimes

 

[Cobblestones]

Last kilometer. And the lights go out.

 

[auscyclefan94]

I agree, this is a great ride by basso and should be acknowledged as such.

Arroyo has really cracked at the end.
