Giro d'Italia Stage 20: Bormio - Passa del Tonale (178km)

[sublimit]

So that jerk tschopp actually may have a chance for the stage.

He has a chance but i doubt it . Gobbled up on the last climb hopefully.

Bottom of gazzetta page has Karpets laid out between Vino and MR group?

*chuckle* smiley thingy

 

[Cobblestones]

He attacked over the summit, not sure if he is still ahead.

Must have missed that.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Please attack in the peloton, burn Tchopp on the staple

 

[zapata]

i never know how much to make of TT results of someone who's at the time a domestique. unless he is leader for the race, or hope to win the stage, why would he go all out?

those drains in the middle of the road in ponte di legno look dangerous for the main bunch!

 

[Jamsque]

Liquigas have used their riders very intelligently today. They have worked hard and dropped off one by one, just Nibali and Basso left now.

 

[Publicus]

Did the Vino group just pick up and pass Gibo?

 

[Zoncolan]

Karpets is with the Vino group.
Gibo dropped

 

[The Sheep]

Karpets is with the Vino group.
Gibo dropped

still see him

There is something not quite right about Arroyo riding round on that pink steed.

That's Barbie's Dream Bike

It's a Pinarello Dogma, so it's cool enough to give him the benefit of the doubt in May.

 

[issoisso]

Where's Sastre?

 

[Tuarts]

Yeah its great being able to be negative against Evans without anyone to disagree with you... :roll:

 

[Publicus]

I am quietly hoping that Tschopp starts cramping.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Nibali should attack soon.

Of course, but I can't imagine he would win 51 secs back on Basso. He may still lose time today also on Nibali.

 

[zapata]

come in, simoni. give it everything. after this weekend, you'll never have to climb again!

I wonder if Wiggins will have a go tomorrow? He rode in the grupetto yesterday, and I assume he is again today, so he should be much more rested than the guys in the top 10. It would be nice to book-end the Giro with TT wins.

i think wiggins will breaze it. hes the best tt'er to have done no work this week. guys like evans, vino etc will be too tired

 

[Zoncolan]

still see him

Me too.
Basso and Nibali wont be trying too hard behind now. It's up to Arroyo/Scarponi/Evans to attack now.
Vino will take it.

Must have missed it. Funny how without ACF there's so much less negativity about Evans...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Seems this mountain stage was not needed. Nothing happens

 

[Pantani_lives]

Basso's colour combination is awful: pink jersey and light green trousers.

 

[Fourier]

I still do not understand why the F did he kept riding that bike.
@arroyo: drop it, you lost the maglia rosa, now you just look silly.

I agree. The Giro was decided yeterday. However I still wonder who will win the stage.

sastre is losing time to vino
