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

[Ferminal]

Was Evans the wider one? Doesn't matter what wheel he follows

 

[Moondance]

****!!!!!

You mean the Great Cadel Evans is out the back?!?





Sorry, you deserved that

 

[issoisso]

A&S and Milram working hard to take advantage of a crash.

I already know Gerdemann is an *** who would stab his grandmother down the road for a race win, so no surprise there, but Garzelli surprises and disgusts me.

 

[Ferminal]

Nice work Gents

 

[Highlander]

What is the unwritten rule when the race leader crashes like this? Should the main peloton slow up a bit to see if he can get back on?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Basso, Tondo, Sastre, Evans.......

what about vino?

didn't see evans

 

[Moondance]

Everyone is all over the place.... Gonna be some BIIIIG gaps.

I Lol'd... Karma is sweet isn't it?

That's a bit of vitrol. Are you suggesting that the appropriate thing is not press the advantage?

 

[issoisso]

Vino keeps avoiding every crash.
Quick, someone throw a turtle shell in front of him.

RAI now saying Sastre's in the front group. So, according to them Sastre is everywhere. Sastre is god?

 

[The Sheep]

Now Sastre is up front according to the RAI

 

[Mellow Velo]

Vino up ahead. trying to get the others to sit up. Garzelli has gone with a few "chancers".
Chapeau Vino...
Liquigas chasing.

 

[Jamsque]

Usually the peloton will wait for the race leader if he falls, but apparently not today. They are WAY, WAY off the back.

They just showed a shot of Evans, but I can't tell where he is on the road.

 

[Ferminal]

That's a bit of vitrol. Are you suggesting that the appropriate thing is not press the advantage?

Definitely not for the GC guys...

 

[trompe le monde]

1'15 back, that is the Nibali group.

 

[Publicus]

what about vino?

didn't see evans

From what I can tell Vino is in the front.

milram and vino should not push the pace. not good sportsmanship.

 

[Francois the Postman]

OK, the crumbs trying to seize the opportunity whilst the big loafs show grace. Ace.

 

[issoisso]

That's a bit of vitrol. Are you suggesting that the appropriate thing is not press the advantage?

I'm suggesting they should do what Basso and Nibali did the other day:

follow the unwritten rule that says you don't attack someone who crashed and you don't attack in the feed zone.

 

[Jamsque]

1:20 the gap to Nibali.

I think Evans is in the second peloton, not far behind the main pack.

 

[Publicus]

Definitely not for the GC guys...

Yeah, I see Vino trying to rein it in. Linus is a bit of dyck. It looked like he was caught and then took off again.

 

[The Sheep]

That second peleton should be close to Nibali now?

 

[auscyclefan94]

1:20 the gap to Nibali.

I think Evans is in the second peloton, not far behind the main pack.

think he's ahead as he's not riding hard.

 

[Moondance]

milram and vino should not push the pace. not good sportsmanship.

Vino didn't start pushing the pace... Gazelli attacked and now Vino is chasing.

It's Garzelli's fault not Vino's. You can't expect Vino to sacrifice time to Garzelli because Evans fucked up.

 

[Publicus]

I'm suggesting they should do what Basso and Nibali did the other day:

Understood. I didn't get Linus' move when he was caught by the front group. I do now.
