Giro d'Italia Stage 7: Carrara - Montalcino (222km)

[Ferminal]

How prepared was Cervelo for this race? Sastre said that it was a main goal for the team, but looks like he is losing time on nearly every stage. I know the crashes messed things up in the Netherlands, but they have no one but themselves to blame for today.

Mr. Tondo is now their leader?

I doubt it's Sastre's form, considering his very good prologue.

I'm guessing it's the crash.

veery good? he lost 23 seconds to evans in 8.4 kms. could be a combination of things.

 

[Cobblestones]

Shredding riders now.

Cycling just got a whole lot more gory.

Snap. He took the preparation route he prefers, did a promising prologue+400m, all good. Now all bad.

Nice hilltown!

ProCyclingLive says Cervélo says Sastre is in Group 1. They just asked Sporza's source of all information André Meganck for confirmation. I'll let you know what he says.

I hope that's the case. I guess with riders wearing rain jackets it would be easier to misidentify riders.

 

[Moondance]

Peleton is decimated now... NICE!

Yes, very good.

If you disagree, I suggest you check his prologues in previous years

Sastre in the first peleton

 

[trompe le monde]

gazetta's ticker shows that the second group is only 25 seconds behind.

 

[theyoungest]

Sporza has phoned the Cervélo DS, who says Sastre is in the front group.

Good news for the Race!

rain jackets.. he became a man in black...

 

[auscyclefan94]

no team really is able to control this thing right now.

 

[Spare Tyre]

Sastre in the first peleton

You sure? I hope so.

 

[tgsgirl]

Yep, Sastre safe in peloton one. Damn you Rai.

 

[trompe le monde]

You sure? I hope so.

Yup Sastre in the front.

 

[hfer07]

Sastre is back in the front group

 

[Cobblestones]

Ok, that was a pretty clear shot of Sastre.

 

[issoisso]

Idiot eurosport commentator continues to spout crap.

And as usual, instead of admitting he's wrong, he's making up that he just saw Sastre bridging.

Right.


Nice that Sastre's there, though

 

[Spine Concept]

Rai with a huge blunder, just saw Sastre safely in the first group...

 

[dsut4392]

sastre back in maglia rosa group...

 

[Ferminal]

Was he there all along?

 

[Francois the Postman]

Ah, NOW it makes sense why Cervelo wasn't riding in the second group. Wohay!

 

[The Sheep]

Sastre is back in the front group

He was always in the front group, RAI made a mistake.
