watching it here if no eurosport?!

LLoyd still there with vino, sastre. Schopp, Simoni up the road i think.

Come on then Gibo. You can descend like hell. Time to show it.

 

[Cobblestones]

Beautiful shot of the gap. The MR group is literally just around the corner.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rabobus doing well

 

[Fourier]

Tscopp, you are supposed to let Gibo get his win.

 

[issoisso]

Rabobus doing well

Don't worry, they'll stop along the route somewhere and pick up people

 

[trompe le monde]

I think I heard the gazzetta interviewee say that this is a technical descent, so hopefully Arroyo descends like a banshee from hell and makes it interesting.

Tschopp! Tschopp! Tschopp!

 

[issoisso]

Tschopp! Tschopp! Tschopp!

Tschopp Chopped them all

*gets coat*

The points system for the mountains is weird. The Mortirolo was only 10 points, the Gavia 20. Yesterday's arrival was 0 points, today's 15.

 

[Publicus]

And Gibo brings it back. Apparently Tschopp's chop is overrated!

 

[MarkGreen0]

That's some thick snow.

The Gavia is the Cima Coppi. And finishes usually get more. Except yesterday that wasn't really a mountain. Just a gentle slope.

[Cobblestones]

Gibo's back!

 

[dsut4392]

Moto gives Gibo a draft back up to Tschopp...

 

[Fourier]

tschopp tries to drop Simoni then when he gets caught, shamelessly flicks his elbow

The Gavia is 20 because it's the Cima Coppi (highest point of the race).

Thanks Kender, your link works on my browser

Any live GPM rankings - does Lloyd have enough if Basso wins the stage (presuming there is points on it)?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Szmyd drops off, Kiserlovski time

 

[zapata]

hope the old bandit can get over the top first, at least. stage win probably not.

 

[El Imbatido]

Surely riding like this will get Tschopp a contract with BMC in the near future considering he is swiss?

 

[aarnold517]

wow that backdrop is spectacular. talk about the best office in the world..
