The break is gonna last I think.

Pirazzi has clearly got good legs today but he should've waited until the break had been brought back a little more then try to bridge. No-man's land for him now

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Pirazzi still in the sights of the Gruppo

 

[will10]

Quick wake up ACF - BMC are on the telly

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

movistar must be working for ventoso

 

[Ferminal]

Time for Popo to attack?

 

[Sasquatch]

Yep

Ventoso is the only sprinter in the field who can win on a finish like this. Either that or they are going to launch Kiriyenka.

Pirazzi attacked just before his village, so that was the real motivation.

 

[Jamsque]

Pirazzi is getting pulled back in now. I think the catch is going to happen, but not until the final few kilometres.

Break has 48 seconds.

 

[jobiwan]

If he can, Popo needs to go soon.

 

[Francois the Postman]

Time coming down rapidly now.

 

[Ferminal]

Nice AG2R bus with a couple of Saxos mixed in.

 

[Tuarts]

Vandewalle is off!

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Vandevalle proves the strongest in the break

 

[craig1985]

Vandewalle attacks.

I rate cardoso an outside chance.

[superconfex]

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

wow they are making it pretty hard. Peleton reduced in numbers...

 

[Jamsque]

The peloton is shedding riders at a pretty high rate right now.

Please keep the ToC and the Giro posts contained in their own threads. Also a pre-emptive reminder that spoilers are to be avoided.

Pirazzi again? Good on him.
