Giro d'Italia Stage 8: Chianciano - Monte Terminillo (189km)

[issoisso]

I expected a stronger attack there from Moncoutié

 

[Potomac]

Sastre generally does his best work near the end of GTs I believe.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Finished third last year.

I think he meant that with Reputation. He only had about 10 race days this year. Catalunya and Liege.

 

[bobs nob]

feeed?????????

pleeeeease

 

[Moondance]

Moncoutie needs to get his attack on or he wont stay away. Don't know what the gap is now... But the peloton is defintely working.

 

[red_flanders]

Who's the Saxo rider in the break?

 

[auscyclefan94]

moncoutie is doing it so easy!

 

[dgodave]

Finished third last year.

I guess I consider that reputation... as it wouldnt indicate his form for this race.
.

 

[Galic Ho]

Can an another aussie rider win today to get three in a row?

Who are you all placing your bets on?

Psssttt. Did you catch the F1? Won't spoil it for those who cannot multitask after they had a go at SportzChic yesterday.

Who's the Saxo rider in the break?

CA sorensen

[Moondance]

Who's the Saxo rider in the break?

Chris Anker Sorensen.

Always recognizable with his "please euthanize me" face whenever he's climbing.

 

[Spare Tyre]

Who's the Saxo rider in the break?

Chris Sorenson (sp?)

 

[trompe le monde]

(That's my suspicion, but I consider trying them. If it can help reduce the open mouthed gasping for air..)

The breathe right was originally designed to curb snoring. By opening up the nasal passage the theory is that one has less of an inclination to breathe through one's mouth. The application to sports I think was secondary, though I could be wrong.

 

[Bala Verde]

down to 1:40m

You're late to the party.

 

[red_flanders]

CA sorensen

Thanks guys.

 

[issoisso]

Would be nice to see the break stay away.

But the cars have already been waved aside. They don't have much of a gap anymore.

 

[Moondance]

down to 1:40m

Hmmm... Gap isn't coming down very quickly.

Unless one of the big favorites has a serious dig the break has a shot.

We maybe a dumb mob (reffering to iq) but we are a sporty race!

 

[trompe le monde]

Ooh, sea of fog at the finish line.

 

[oncearunner]

Sure looks foggy at the finish

 

[Bala Verde]

Would be nice to see the break stay away.

Yup. They only lost 10-15s over 4km now. They don't seem to be working well together though and a late full out attack can really diminish the advantage.
