Giro d'Italia Stage 17: Bruneck - Peio Terme (173km)

[Ferminal]

Claiming 1:52 now at 63.0km gone.

 

[Sasquatch]

Simoni tried one of the earlier breaks so the only reason Lampre chased down the second was because there was no Lampre guys in it.

They will be wanting Simoni in a break. And plan B is Cunego if the break comes back.

 

[Sasquatch]

Nearly all teams represented.

Even BMC

[Sasquatch]

The group of 19 have over 5 minutes.

Reynes, Ignatiev, Duque, Stortoni, Hondo, Kruijswijk, Fothen, Nicki Sorensen, Marzano, Moreno, Cummings are just some of the riders up the road.

This break group will split on the climb. Wyss won't make it over the top in the break.

Stage 17

I think Porte and Arroyo will lose more time today but not a huge amount. Don't think the break will stay away. Could be another showdown on the last climb even though this stage is not seen as a significant one as it is much easier than some of the stages coming up. Would not mind seeing Cunego or Gadret win one.

 

[Sasquatch]

If the break does survive, it's hard to go past Stortoni.

Moreno and Kruijswijk would be the other favourites.

 

[trompe le monde]

I think video streaming will begin at 3.00pm/15.00 hrs.

Break is now up to 10'24. Go Yukia go!

You're right.

Gazzetta is streaming.

 

[trompe le monde]

Loosli of Lampre was the only cyclist who didn't start today.

 

[Jamsque]

If this break stays away I want Arashiro to win it. The guy has guts.

 

[Tyke1968]

11.44 time gap!
Harmon thinks its game over for the peloton.

Doesn't seem likely that the break comes back.

 

[Tuarts]

Wouldn't mind either out of Wyss, Efimkin, Cummings or Sorenson winning. That said I think Ignatiev will win if the breakaway survives.

 

[Jamsque]

If the GC boys don't crank it up on this climb the break (or at least some of them) ought to make it to the finish.

 

[Frosty]

Break should split up but i dont think anyone will want to go it alone with such a long distance left. Maybe a group of 5 crest the climb together.
