Giro d'Italia Stage 6: Fidenza - Marina di Carrara (172km)

[therhodeo]

Lampre with the guilt attack.

 

[auscyclefan94]

harmon is nearly as bad liggett.

 

[zapata]

petacchi is from la spezia, isn't he? suppose he knows this descent pretty well.

 

[Francois the Postman]

They really have no reason to keep this under control. Liquigas' tactics have always been questionable, and once again I fail to see why they worked at all today.

Yeah, seemed an awful lot of riding for nothing to me too. Anyone know what that last molehill looks like?

 

[dgodave]

"bit of a sixpence"....?
.

 

[issoisso]

petacchi is from la spezia, isn't he? suppose he knows this descent pretty well.

That plus the fact he's always been good on the climbs = this.

I like it.

yes he is but petrov trains on this route for many years and lives nearby.

 

[Cobblestones]

petacchi attacking?

Or longest sprint ever?

 

[zapata]

I like it.

Me too. was hoping he'd win a bunch sprint, but if he actually catches the others and wins, that's much better.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

1:30 down to Tschopp group, 2:20 to the peloton.

I'm putting my money on Tschopp.

 

[TSURURADIO]

I love climbs..... <3

 

[Francois the Postman]

Or longest sprint ever?

That's Milan Sanremo.

 

[davis_123]

The 2 man break won't survive unless they hold 1min+ over the climb here

That is the problem with a lot of you though, these last few pages have been a good laugh to fill in the boredom before the race heats up stop being a bunch of sour puss's

good for other gc contenders as liquigas will have to ride on front and waste energy for the final week during at least the next few days.

lloydy gotta attack.

 

[issoisso]

1:30 down to Tschopp group, 2:20 to the peloton.

I'm putting my money on Tschopp.

Let's hope not. Cyclingnews headlines are annoying enough without a "Tschopp Chops them!" headline

Besides, he has no sprint, he'd need to drop them

 

[Francois the Postman]

Wow Petacchi taking 33 secs on the bunch!

[edit] sorry, 24. trailing 33 secs on the 3 ahead of him.

Agreed!

Anyway, these two look safe at the moment.

Let's go Bertogliati.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I'm pretty sure these two will hang on at this point.

EDIT: Llyod attacks, nice.

 

[valentius borealis]

Lloyd has a bit of a gap on Bertogliati now.

 

[issoisso]

Barrichello plays second fiddle again.

Bai Rubens.

 

[Cobblestones]

Let's go Bertogliati.

He went the wrong way...backwards.

 

[zapata]

too bad, petacchi.

We cant see Petacchi. Maybe he just went home?

This is comedy gold

 

[auscyclefan94]

[Francois the Postman]

Pirazzi has joined Petacchi.
