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

[auscyclefan94]

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

Who are you all placing your bets on?

 

[trompe le monde]

Looks like Voeckler is riding one of those new Colnago C-59s. Colnago initially gave Modolo one, but with his withdrawal, well, that didn't turn out well.

 

[El Imbatido]

why the hell are lampre working? Surely the little princess won't win today?

No. It's amazing that there were two in a row.

Yes. Graeme Brown will solo to the win.

 

[Moondance]

No. It's amazing that there were two in a row.

I wouldn't rule out Evans for the victory.

 

[Bala Verde]

Yes. Graeme Brown will solo to the win.

he always comes in second, didn't you know that?

 

[issoisso]

I wouldn't rule out Evans for the victory.

Yes, but he asked about another rider.

 

[auscyclefan94]

BMC close to the front with about 4 riders.

I'm imagining Brown elbowing Moncoutié in the face on a mountain finish.

Does not compute.

So far, so good. Wonder how far Santambroggio will make it up Terminillo.

 

[Kender]

20km to the base of the climb

If he's solo he'll prolly push over the nearest moto, just to keep a habit going.

Best watch out they don't get a nose bleed

 

[issoisso]

Santambrogio is very good on the short punchier climbs. But on a 20km climb? I'll be amazed if he's there when 20 riders are left.

 

[Moondance]

Yes, but he asked about another rider.

Okay.... Then no. No Australians in the break, and I doubt the likes of Porte or Lloyd can survive with the best up the mountain.

Yeah, it seems the whole team is there

 

[Trunnions]

Following the universal acclaim (spectators, riders, and media) for yesterdays Classic white gravel road stage within a Grand Tour, what are the chances of the TdF daring to follow suit?

 

[Bala Verde]

BMC close to the front with about 4 riders.

Is that the total number of riders remaining?

On a more serious note, is there a minimum number of riders that need to be on a team before they are pulled from the race, like in football, the minimum is 9?

Voigt complained about the IC participation and that he didn't need a team, so I was wondering what the rules are once the race has started.

*edit* apparently I missed the "cry me a river" sign at the door, Seriously HTFU

Nope. It's happened before that a team has 1 rider left, and he soldiers on.

That's why TTTs are always near the start.

F1 race spoiler

Why do I bother coming here if people are just going to spoil sporting events that are in no way connected to this.

Seriously what can that possibly achieve except **** off people who, like me, don't get to watch the race live?

What, seriously?

You may not be able to tell, but I'm seriously ****ed off now.

If it didn't rain it wouldn't have gotten "universal acclaim" as you put it.

i remember 3 riders finishing for a team a few years ago in the tour, they got one hell of a cheer.. cant remember 1..

you got a race, and year?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Yes, they seem to have gotten the brew right today!
