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

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Mollema started the climb a bit too far back, but got better gradually, looks good.

 

[Tom T.]

Vino looks good today, peddling nice and easy right now.

 

[Cobblestones]

It looks like riders are slowly coming back.

What OS/Browser are you running? You don't need a lot of memory for live streaming. Half a gig is more than enough. Switch to Opera if Firefox is playing up.

started with opera, got choppy after a long time viewing then went to ie, i have loaded ff in case ie gets weird but it has been good.

When I checked what was running I noticed i still had limewire running from last night and that was using like 150mb so i shut it off, it (lw) also tends to hog bandwidth

Wow, Sastre going back..



When have the Schlecks rode the Giro recently? I think the sprints have been about as exciting as sprints can be tbh. And that's BMC's fault really, isn't it?

Ok, I may have overstated the case a little, but the sprint field would be stronger with e.g. Cavendish, Chicchi, Bos, Haedo present. Last time the Schlecks were there is 2007 AFAIK, and BMC had to split their squad between two events because the ToC is sort of a home race, so they couldn't bring as strong a team. Garmin could have brought Hejesdal also.

I am keenly watching sastre. This stage will be the indicator on if he has it for the giro win

Why???? I mean why would sastre attack????? there is no need for him to attack. He is ahead of the main contenders in the GC. I belive sastre will just try to sit on the wheel of Nibali, basso, evans. and try to minimise losing as much time as possible. This way saving energy for the final stages of the giro.

Prelude to an implosion.

would have cost him some energy I'm sure.
Inexperience showing a bit.

Big question right now is what happens when Syzmd pops. Who sets pace? Liquigas only have 3 left in the peloton.

descent was a little nasty at the top

Yup, Szmyd, Basso, Nibali

Kiserlovski gone

Syzmd will last a while yet, he is incredibly strong. expect a select group with around 10km to go.

Could be, Evans looks ugly as usual. He'll probably be out of the saddle for the entire length of the Zoncolan.

Why is that feed always delayed? It's showing 34 km remaining. Gazzeta has it at 32.5

It's not as bad as I thought. Only few hundred meters behind

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Group is getting bigger in the downhill now. Tondo and co are set to return

Wiggins also had to let go by the way

I'll have to advert my eyes if they spend too much camera time on him. Just an ugly style.

That's right! It'll be about his ability to follow the heaviest assault.

Wiggins passed the top 1' later than the pink jersey group.

Don't use IE, ever, unless you have no choice. Microsoft cannot even fit half the xml, dhtml and java plug-in compatability into their browser. IE was good a decade ago.

Limewire only hogs bandwidth if you are letting others leech (sharing) of your files. You can turn (or limit) the bandwidth uploaded in the settings (at least you could last time I checked and it was a while ago).

Porte looks great today, seems like his rumored health problems are over.

Leaving it up so I can hear the audio.
