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

[issoisso]

Sabido as in the guy riding at LA-Paredes, right?

Nevermind, the commentator apologized for saying it was Hugo Sabido. Turns out it's his unknown brother Nuno.

Meh, who cares, even a brick wall is miles better than Paulo Martins.

 

[Jamsque]

So I guess the peloton decided to have a rolling rest day. Can't say I blame them really. With no bonus seconds on the line I doubt we'll see any of the GC movers and shakers do anything near the finish.

 

[Frosty]

I think the cyclingnews live reporter is getting confused between the Sorensen's. I thought it was Chris who won a stage earlier in the race rather than Nicki?

 

[RedheadDane]

It was! It was Chris... Nicki ain't no climber...

 

[dgodave]

That basilica is not very nice....

[issoisso]

It was! It was Chris... Nicki ain't no climber...

He is, actually

 

[Ferminal]

What's the gap? Sounds like some of them will make it.

 

[Mellow Velo]

This stage could be turning into one of those lazy, hot Tourist affairs.....

Lance has twattered that he's watching Eurosport, who were talking about L'Equipe, talking about David Walsh, talking about Kirsten Armstrong corroborating Floyd............

8'12. A little over 51kms left.

 

[Tuarts]

Is there a justin.tv link to the English commentary Eurosports feed?

 

[RedheadDane]

He is, actually

Not as much as Chris... and he didn't win a Giro stage this year... or ever... in fact the Giro is the only GT he hasn't won a stage in... (Whereas the Giro is the only GT Chris has won a stage in...)

 

[Roland Rat]

Ahhh... Omerta in action. Bet you $10 they don't mention it again.

No question that he's not the guy the commentator was referring to, of course.

Just that he is very much a climber

And if you're going to go with results, then we can say that on the other hand, Chris has never finished in the top 20 at the Tour

 

[HL2037]

So maybe today Nicki will take a stage in the Giro?

 

[Ferminal]

Sounds like I shouldn't bother rewinding and watching the whole coverage...

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Ahhh... Omerta in action. Bet you $10 they don't mention it again.

They're discussing SI now, after a 'tip-off' that the next issue will have a denial from Kristin. Wonder who pointed their way.

JustinTV in English for whoever was asking

 

[eljimberino]

They're all ******ed from yesterday.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Alexander Efimkin is going to make a nice jump in the GC

 

[hamperium]

Will Kristin also be discussing her faith as well? Oh, I can't wait.
She has the life she does because her former husband was and is a liar and a cheat.

 

[Moondance]

Ignatiev going for it.

I respect his drive, but I doubt it'll succeed.

 

[Delicato]

THANK YOU GOD

The moron isn't in the studio today. The good commentator is accompanied by former Barloworld rider Hugo Sabido today.

*Makes grateful offer to the gods*

Watching Russian Eurosport...Who is moron? I hope you don't mean Sean Kelly?

 

[Jamsque]

Ignatiev does seem to love going for the long solo move from 20-30km out. He's keeping ahead of that train!

 

[trompe le monde]

Ignatiev attacks. First exciting thing to happen since streaming began.
