Giro d'Italia Stage 19: Brescia - Aprica (195km)

[issoisso]

Not yet.... Gap is 2:27. If Basso takes the stage he needs a 2:07 gap. At this rate he'll get there though.

That's what I mean. At the finish, not now.

Sorry for not being clear

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Cunego group at 6 minutes, that's the 3rd group

 

[Big GMaC]

2:19 to maglia r and r

why are people complaining about basso "wheel sucking" ? you should learn more about bike racing if you think it is a crime. not all riders are alberto contadors where we can attack and ride away. basso is being smart by playing it this way. Congrats to him even though I think he is back on the program.

Late prediction

Scarponi
Basso
Nibali
same time

What?

Basso's worked far harder than anyone else in this stage.

People are complaining about Vino wheelsucking.

 

[bridgeman]

Basso has to think about tomorrow.

 

[Moondance]

Wow.... Gap is exploding.

At this point already the Three Amigos have gained more time to Aprica than they did on the Mortirolo.

Would you shut up? Basso 2006 would've ridden away solo from Scarponi with 3 minutes, laughing. This is nothing like em. Basso 2006 won the Giro with 9 minutes or something

Scarponi
Basso
Nibali
same time

you deserve a prize for that prediction.

"Brick" Basso in virtual pink.
He needs to have a 3 minute lead at the top of the Gavia, or he'll still lose.

 

[scribe]

The pink could still change hands.
Arroyo starting to look like Contador at last year's Paris-Nice.....

He has a lot to learn.

 

[Fourier]

What happens to that Pinarello after arroyo loses the maglia? they should give it to Haussler.

 

[sportzchick]

Thats it then - Congrats Basso on the Giro

 

[staubsauger]

vino is doing nothing. what an ***

 

[dresch]

Gutted that this won't go down to the wire.

 

[The Sheep]

Evans won't get podium this way

Definitely back on. And he'll win the Giro unless he crashes out. Evans should try to hold on for second so he'll have first after Basso gets popped.

 

[labratty]

So after a slow start 6 of the last 8 stages to Italians.

 

[auscyclefan94]

vino is doing nothing. what an ***

can't attack 24/7 just so it is entertaining for you!

 

[issoisso]

And because this Giro is insane, Basso will crack tomororw and Gadret will win the Giro.

Cue cries of every french fan "FFS ANYONE BUT HIM"

 

[Jamsque]

Leakygas will have their hands full defending the jersey tomorrow, and no mistake.

Against who? Can you even mention the duds names that came 2nd and 3rd that year?

Porte 1'08 behind the the Arroyo chase group.
