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

[Jamsque]

Sastre needs five and a half minutes here, that's a pretty big ask. He had better hope that Basso and Liquigas are tired after riding so hard yesterday.

Cunego is still there.

Basso group 1:25 behind Sastre/Cunego/Vino group

Vino and Sastre are condemning the escape to a failure by their presence

It's a podium surge, not a giro win surge for Sastre...might even "just" be a stage win surge.... But nevertheless once again the signs of an epic stage!

Just read Voeckler and Cunego are out of the front group, whereas Vino finds the connection

Nice. Hopefully this post will be well buried before ACF and the other Aussies arrive.

Your secret is safe with me.

Looking at the animation on Gazzetta, I think the Little Prince made it back to the group.

Look at that WALL OF SNOW.

 

[issoisso]

Hoping someone like Sastre or Vino will try a kamikaze long range attack.

*is happy*

 

[Jamsque]

Vino just had to change a wheel, he should make it back on now.

Thanks. It looks like they did a lot of effort to clean the snow. There are two walls of snow on top of the Gavia.

Marcell Wyss is earning his paycheck today.

Matthew Lloyd is probably also winning that green jersey today.

Mattie Lloyd after his mountains jersey.
UK Eurosport joins RAI, but are "delayed" live, atm.
A long way to go..........

The animation thing is often a bit behind the times.

Congratulations to the organisers though. Not only have we had some of the best racing in years, the best tv coverage in years, but to shift all that snow, some of the best organisation in years..

The grand tour that all will be measured by for years to come.

Here here. I have enjoyed this Giro more than any GT since the '08 Tour de France.


The Gazzetta's stream and ticker does seem to lag behind Rai/Eurosport by a good few minutes.

The dude in this TV ad on Rai has the BEST GODDAMN AFRO.

Bless Gazzetta and their animations on the botton of the screen that give overview over the race for those who does not understand italian. That is so neat!

 

[zapata]

thank you eurosport! live half an hour ahead of schedule today, that makes up for some of the tennis going overtime earlier.

And to think, it's only the 3rd best race in the world.

In all seriousness, I hope ASO is paying attention.

EDIT: the maglia rosa group is absolutely tiny.

Lloyd, Sastre and another cervelo rider and a rider from Bbox, I belive, are split from the front group and have a small time advantage over the others from the group.

Never mind, they are all back together again

Sastre really has the hammer down.
