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

[issoisso]

mortirolo doesn't seem far away. the next hour and 15 mins could decide who wins this race! I hope it remains close. I want it to come down to the wire!

That would mean no time gaps and would suck for your hero

 

[BroDeal]

This descent looks really fun.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Heavy rain in Aprica. It's coming.
IF they take the Gavia out, tomorrow, they will have to climb this descent, before doing the new MR climb. That is one tough climb.

 

[python]

How hot is it? in degrees celsius please!

17 C, 80% humidity

Maybe I should rephrase? I hope evans will smash it out of the ball park and make an epic solo attack on the mortirolo and win by 10minutes. Then he will hold on to pink to verona where he will do the fastest ITT in history at 65km/h.

 

[Cobblestones]

Garzelli gap down to 39", doesn't look good for him.

 

[Frosty]

Temperature at 2000 metres in the area is currently about 7 or 8C.

pop goes the garzoid! this will be the first time I have seen this climb live! I have heard so much about it that I can't wait as it will be epic!

 

[BroDeal]

17 C, 80% humidity

That's warmer than it is where I am.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Pace can't be that high in the group. There are 3 Rabo riders in there.
BMC missing in action, once again.

 

[zapata]

Garzelli gap down to 39", doesn't look good for him.

I think that's the gap from garzelli to the leaders?

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Garzelli has over 2 mins on the favourites group

Temperature at 2000 metres in the area is currently about 7 or 8C.

that'snot what gazzetta stream says:

DATI TESTA DELLA CORSA

17C.

 

[Zoncolan]

Garzelli gap down to 39", doesn't look good for him.

He has over 2 mins on the MR group

 

[auscyclefan94]

14oC where I live. Cold for Aus!

 

[Spare Tyre]

I think that's the gap from garzelli to the leaders?

That's my interpretation too. Peloton about 2 minutes back from Garzelli, I think.

 

[Fourier]

I think that's the gap from garzelli to the leaders?

yep, 2:27 ahead of the main group, 31 from the testa of the race

 

[BroDeal]

Ooh. Thats frosty!
.

That is like 46F. That's good cycling temperature with arm and leg warmers.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Oh Liquigas, how I love thee

They really make this race hell. Mollema and Kruijswijck still there Cataldo, Gerdemann and Karpets gone. Oh happy day

 

[ihatescarves]

Is Evans actually in the MR group? I haven't seen him for some time; maybe he's just using the points jersey to hide from me...

 

[powderpuff]

where is cadel? couldnt see him in the Basso group

 

[The Sheep]

Maybe I should rephrase? I hope evans will smash it out of the ball park and make an epic solo attack on the mortirolo and win by 10minutes. Then he will hold on to pink to verona where he will do the fastest ITT in history at 65km/h.

Don't forget the part where he goes up the hill so fast during the TT that he takes off and flies to the the finish

 

[search]

Cataldo retired, that's quite a surprise

 

[B.Rasmussen]

14oC where I live. Cold for Aus!

14C here too, but I'm in my shorts with my feet on a freezing block (those used for picnics) and with a cold coke in my hand.

I suffer from hyperthyroidism though.
