Giro d'Italia - Stage 7 - Maddaloni → Montevergine di Mercogliano - 110km

[DJ Sprtsch]

Race is on. Pineau and Vorganov have attacked.

They are joined by Pasamontes, Bak, Visconti, Berard, Selvaggi, Betancourt, Canutiand Cherel, and have 16s.

eurosport is on.

And Szmyd still beat him in a sprint.

The only guy to ever beat Valverde in a one on one sprint

That was clemency. Valverde had to do a deliberate "Petacchi" to let Szmyd win.

This is Hitch's running gag. Come on, let him have his Polish pride.

More like a running nag.

Certainly he's allowed to have Polish pride, however in light of this comment:


I feel obliged to tease.

Ha!

 

[Berzin]

Anyone have a link to this stage?

English or Spanish preferred, but I'll take whatever.

Thanks!!!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

betancourt!! _O_

 

[insideout leadout]

Break:

Visconti, Pineau, Canuti, Bak and Montaguti.

 

[Ney the Viking]

Woo gogogo Bak! (If the rest of you wont be national, I will )

 

[Mellow Velo]

Break:

Visconti, Pineau, Canuti, Bak and Montaguti.

Wot, no BMC up there? I am shocked.
Doomed break of the day, since Montaguti is only 2 minutes down in the GC.

Nationality aside, Bak looks in a damn good mood today, I still think the hill is too steep for him, but I don't think they should give them too much leesh

 

[insideout leadout]

Garzelli looks determined today as well.

 

[Scirea]

Garzelli looks determined today as well.

Since he will have exactly zero chance on the steep mountains, he should be very motivated today.

 

[Moondance]

Since he will have exactly zero chance on the steep mountains, he should be very motivated today.

Ummm.... He won the Kronplatz TT last year.

 

[The Hitch]

More like a running nag.

Unlike this of course

And I'll never enjoy a Sella victory again not after what he did to me in that 2008 Giro

That's what she said.

Are you kidding?

That's what she said

I'll try my best if you do your part as well. History shows that it usually drags on and on, so don't patronize me.

Edit: That's what she said.

Oh noes!

I had such high hopes for this Danielson kid, but I'm starting to fear that he'll never be able to fulfill his potential.

 

That's what she said.

very depressing.

Again, that's what she said.

less masturbating for you then ruben

That's what she said.

This was too easy.

I kinda like most off topics on this forum. But the football stuff was starting to annoy me as well.

One of the reasons I like it here is because people talk about cycling instead of football. If I'd want to hear about ****ing football I'd just go to a random other place and be satisfied.

That's what she said.

Damn it, now I'm doing it to myself as well...

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

seems more like punishment for acqua that they weren't in lead group eventually

 

[taiwan]

Unlike this of course

Sorry, but that is quite comical.

 

[The Sheep]

Sorry, but that is quite comical.

That's what she said

 

[boomcie]

Unlike this of course

Yeah, That's another good example of a running nag
Some of them were still ok though. I like the Sella one.

 

[boomcie]

Sorry, but that is quite comical.

That's what she said

Funny Sheep.

 

[phanatic]

That's what she said

The Sheep uses it correctly.

 

[Moondance]

A&S are being very sweet to Rabobank.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

betancourt looking strong he also seems to have lost some weight. in few years he will be the next garzelli for acqua

 

[insideout leadout]

Maybe too sweet, don't think Rabo want a sprint finish for bonus seconds.

 

[Ney the Viking]

Doesnt look like they will let them run.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Doesnt look like they will let them run.

In these kind of stages, there is almost no chance for breakaways to be sucessfull. There are at least 15 riders from at least 7 teams that got a shot today.
