Giro d'Italia Stage 8: Sapri-Tropea, 217km

[Bala Verde]

woah.. Gatto and Contador... He tricked all the favorites

 

[Jamsque]

Cav not even 3rd.

Contador is insane.

 

[The Hitch]

Was it worth getting 5 seconds +12 bonus considering whats coming tomorrow?

 

[will10]

Crazy Contador

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Think he was maybe making a statement here.

 

[Ferminal]

Contador is not a very good climber so he's obviously trying to take time here before the real mountains start...

Gatto did awesome though, thought AC was going to come over the top but he never got close.

Cav and Renshaw did well, but as expected they couldn't power the climb then come back for the sprint.

 

[AussieGoddess]

wow.

interesting .....

 

[El Pistolero]

**** yeah!

Totally insane

 

[will10]

Was it worth getting 5 seconds +12 bonus considering whats coming tomorrow?

Definitely think it was worth it.

 

[jsem94]

Very smart and interesting racing by Contador.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

D-A-M-N

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Weening keeps pink!

 

[Moondance]

[goggalor]

Very smart and interesting racing by Contador.

Don't know about smart, but definitely interesting.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Third stage in a row they show all the press attacking the guy whom comes 2nd and not first

 

[ak-zaaf]

Contador is not a very good climber so he's obviously trying to take time here before the real mountains start...

He's obviously afraid about the time Bart de Clercq will get on him tomorrow.

 

[Archibald]

anyone able to translate what he said just then?
(contador that is)
did he explain what he was doing?

 

[Jamsque]

5 seconds gap plus 12 bonus seconds for Bertie.

 

[Tom T.]

That's why I like Contador. He races to win. Always. Some of his moves might be ill-advised but he's certainly not boring.

 

[will10]

Who's the BMC in 3rd/4th?

 

[spalco]

Definitely think it was worth it.

Absolutely. Crushing the will of all the contenders was worth it alone. Psychological warfare.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Oscar Gatto = solution to boredom. He's a quality rider.

 

[Granville57]

Contador always rides to win.

Great move by Gatto! He timed it perfectly on that crazy ascent.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I wonder if anyone got caught in the wrong part of the peleton, I think I saw gaps.
