Giro d'Italia Stage 15: Mestre - Monte Zoncolan (222km)

[bobs nob]

Can anyone explain to Sastre you don't have to start last on a climb?

can never count him out. ever.

 

[issoisso]

Arroyo has 3'53'' of advantage still...

3:33.
(20 second Time bonus)

Ivan Basso wins by 2 minutes on Cungeo, what does this mean for the sport??

Means that 2 clean guys are going well As well as Evans in 2nd. Pat must've been right..

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Great sensible climbing by Mollema, chosing his own pace and picking up a lot of guys, he only finished 16 seconds behind Arroyo

 

[Parrot23]

Is Basso doing the Tour?

 

[Publicus]

for a guy with a cold, evans rode real well.

Not to mention the weight of all the hate he must endure. It is amazing that he can walk, let alone pedal a bike up a hill.

for the clinic.

 

[Jamsque]

There's Porte, 5'45" down.

 

[Moondance]

Porte... Not bad at all.

Going to solidify that white jersey.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

porte, well done sir!! he has just won the white jersey I think, excellent ride.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kruijswijck ahead of Porte, wtf

 

[issoisso]

Is Basso doing the Tour?

Yes. To support Nibali and Kreuziger. The latter is likely to be leading the team, since Nibali and Basso will be exhausted from this

 

[trompe le monde]

Arroyo lives for another day in Pink.

Incredible ride by Basso.

And the excuses keep on coming.

everyone said he was going to lose quite big and evans said nothing about the cadel so that ain't no excuse, boy.

 

[maltiv]

looks like I wasn't too far off when I said sastre would start the climb at the back of the peloton and still end up 5th! (although he was 6th)

 

[Francois the Postman]

can never count him out. ever.

I think you missed my angle. I count on him to do this every time.

 

[Publicus]

Yes. To support Nibali and Kreuziger. The latter is likely to be leading the team, since Nibali and Basso will be exhausted from this

They are going to have a killer squad.

 

[Parrot23]

porte, well done sir!! he has just won the white jersey I think, excellent ride.

Agree, and great to see Pinotti and Martin doing well.

3:33.

forgot about the time bonus, right!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Kruijswijck ahead of Porte, wtf

i'll say it again, Kruijswijck is having an amazing giro imo.
Great talent.

 

[issoisso]

And now the scary part:

The next stage is an arguably harder climb

 

[The Sheep]

Kruijswijck ahead of Porte, wtf

Someone has to defend that team classification

 

[Cobblestones]

Karpets rolled in.

Goes to show you how little effect the PED's have on the outcome
