Giro d'Italia Stage 4: Savigliano - Cuneo (TTT) 32.5km

Nibali virtual Pink.

Great ride by Liquigas.

 

[Cobblestones]

Astana a little bit behind at first check, but now the first part was wet, the second part is dry. So I think they'll still do well.

 

[Jamsque]

Oh wow, Liquigas absolutely killed the second half of the course. They clearly felt the benefit of staying together and not dropping guys like Sky and Garmin did.

 

[The Sheep]

Noice Nibali in Pink

 

[luckyboy]

Wow Liquigas!

 

[issoisso]

Wow Liquigas really tore up the final climb.

 

[sportzchick]

that was serious TTT by Liqidgas - nice work

 

[TRDean]

Wow Liquigas!

Really unbelievable!!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

The teams whom rode calm, and didn't shred riders early on have really reap the benefits in the 2nd half.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Come on Vino, keep that jersey.

 

[Cobblestones]

Doesn't seem to be doing them any good, though

Au contraire mon ami.

 

[Teddler]

Seriously good ride from Leaky, have a horrible feeling Astana are going to shred the 2nd half now though.

 

[sportzchick]

Nothing on Saxo yet????

 

[auscyclefan94]

They were having a go at ACF about him expecting the Rabo newfies to do a good ride now they do a good ride and they say I told you so. I know its racing BMC did a good ride no-one was expecting them to be within 1.10 of Sky, so I put that down as a win.

+1

Basso has a big lead over evans and liquigas now. will be interesting.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

HTC too slow.

 

[python]

i did not expect LG to do so well..congrats

 

[kurtinsc]

That result hurts Evans.

He was okay with the Cervelo result... but Liquigas has guys who can climb. That's a lot of time to make up of Basso/Nibali in the mountains.

 

[Reverend_T_Preedy]

Liquigas- Double wow. That was fantastic. That'll be hard to beat.

 

[issoisso]

Au contraire mon ami.

Notice I'm on a delayed text feed. Their intermediate wasn't great

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Hey! Shut up with the Aussie-Dutch BS.

Yeah I agree.
I think some might be taking a lot of this to heart. I think this was all pretty funny

 

[Cobblestones]

Astana a little bit behind at first check, but now the first part was wet, the second part is dry. So I think they'll still do well.

Quoting myself here. I think we saw that effect with Leaky. Astana could still take this.

 

[issoisso]

So, the question now is....is Basso just going to follow wheels the whole time?

 

[sportzchick]

Yeah I agree.
I think some might be taking a lot of this to heart. I think this was all pretty funny

that so funny I forgot to laugh

now Whats Saxo doing atmo?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

All teams who did an easier first part and spared some riders take a lot of time in the second part.

BMC blown up a lot of riders early and lose time. Sky shed a lot of riders early, and lost a lot of time in the 2nd part..

It's clearly not the wind, but the way teams handle the TTT. Liquigas kept all their men until 1500m...

 

[kurtinsc]

So, the question now is....is Basso just going to follow wheels the whole time?

I would assume so... I see him just following Sastre and Evans. Perhaps he'll have to make a move to drop Vino... but I think most people expect him to lose some time naturally in the high mountains.
