EDIT: Sastre did indeed lose time. Whoever predicted that earlier gets a gold star.

Draw whatever conclusions you want about Contador leaving a gap, it means nothing, that was a sprint, not a climb. Wait til Etna.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Where did you get the results from ?

Sporza told the names, I copied them as fast as possible

and Zoncolan!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Rujano better than Contador everyone1!!!!1!!!

if he's this strong on thse climbs in sprints. my god he's even better than I thought!

 

[Ferminal]

Bye Bye Duarte

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

We know that, but it's still remarkable when Contador leaves a gap somewhere.

Weening did better than I expected.. I said 20th/35th. He finished 19th

 

[Moondance]

Bye Bye Duarte

Shock. Surprise. Horror. etc.

 

[Jamsque]

Bye Bye Duarte

I was just looking for him on the top 50, where did he come in?

I see Kennaugh got shelled at some point, that's a shame. I knew he'd lose big time in the proper mountains but I thought he might be able to manage this low gradient.

 

[rzombie1988]

Sorry racing today. I have no idea why the peloton let that slip away. They ought to be embarassed. So far the Giro isn't doing it for me. If they aren't going to go for it until next week, I'm not sure if I can stay interested.

I agree, it looked like he was just missing explosiveness a little or maybe he lost concentration, but by the time he rolled over the line he just as quick as the guys in front of him again and if the climb had gone on a little longer I have no doubt he would have closed the gap.

.

Not in the top 76 so far...

 

[theyoungest]

Did you see that?

Contador had to let the gap on the first 5

Yes, very poor sprint by Contador. It's not much, but it's definitely a sign of weakness.

 

[Scirea]

Duarte not in the top70.

 

[auscyclefan94]

tschopp went backwards but only lost a little time. Frank was with leaders!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

And I expected so much of him

Morzine all over again?

 

[will10]

So does 28th @ 10 seconds signify a success for BMC today?

Gazzetta site has Top-80 up so far.. Duarte is not among them. Means he has a minimum of 8 min loss for today.

finished 7.35down

sastre lost 20 odd seconds

 

[jobiwan]

Machado +33" :S

He might be using the 2010 TDF Lance tactic.
Losing time, and going for a stage.
Hope he's not though!

 

[Escarabajo]

KENNAUGH Peter arrived before Duarte!

I see Duarte is not interested in nothing but to assist his leaders.

 

[Moondance]

tschopp went backwards but only lost a little time. Frank was with leaders!

No:
