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

[Fourier]

Evans dropped by sastre group

 

[Moondance]

Now they're climbing through the fog.

This is beautiful.

 

[Fourier]

climbed back up, elastic!

 

[TRDean]

I think Nibali wins this stage...not Basso...just a guess as I am not actually watching...damn employment!!

 

[edwardhalliwell]

CN's race preview said it all, "Basso use to destroy his rivals on climbs like this in 2006"

What happened back then? He got caught doping. I'd go as far to say it is a fact Basso is doping again, you can't do the same as you did doping when your no longer on the sauce.

Basso doesn't look particularly out of breath.

Now they're climbing through the fog.

This is beautiful.

If we can continue to get pictures, it is

 

[dresch]

15 mins for Evans toady?

lol. wind up merchant.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Still 4.5kms to the top! Leaders have 2' on Arroyo.

 

[BroDeal]

Evans will lose a podium place to Nibali and Scarponi if it continues like this.

I don't see how it can get better for him. Unless his poor form is caused by bonking because he did not take in enough calories on the twisty descents then he looks cooked.

Too bad we won't see the showdown we were all expecting.

 

[B.Rasmussen]

Take the doping whining to the clinic please. Evans and Basso have the same trainer by the way, so stop throwing stones when there is glass all around your idol.

 

[Francois the Postman]

Arroyo also doing the jersey proud the way he is going.

 

[Fourier]

arroyo clawing back time

 

[JA.Tri]

Please stay on topic (take all doping talk to the Clinic ).

Harmon pointing the finger at Basso....06 blah blah blah

What's a Harmon?

 

[issoisso]

Harmon pointing the finger at Basso....06 blah blah blah

Harmon blindly defending an anglophone rider beyond logic?

Give me a second to practice my fake surprised look.

 

[Mellow Velo]

What's a Harmon?

The UK's version of ACF.

Vino's dropping Sastre, Evans fighting, fighting.

 

[TRDean]

Any Rabos up there? HeHe

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Italia!

Good day for Italians so far oggi.
Basso
Scarponi
Nibali
...
Garzelli

 

[Zoncolan]

Gap holding steady at about 1 minute

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Arroyo showing he still has a chance in this race. If he can catch the Vino / Evans group that would make a huge difference

 

[edwardhalliwell]

Please stay on topic (take all doping talk to the Clinic ).

OK, sorry

[B.Rasmussen]

The time differences aren't so big yet that all is lost. Basso is not the best descender and the roads are wet.

 

[auscyclefan94]

What's a Harmon?

A mute you place in a trumpet! nah, will only make judgement of basso once his times and gaps are up after stage.

 

[franciep10]

vino is riding well
