Giro d'Italia Stage 9: Frosinone - Cava de' Tirreni (187km)

[zapata]

pozzato still close to the front. my favourite for today.

 

[Jamsque]

Columbia just ran out of men on the front! Sky seem to be nearly completely absent from this group, and Garmin are down on numbers too.

 

[Faserr]

nice leadout, Greipel should go with 2,5km to go

 

[Jamsque]

Oh wait, there are Sky. 1600 metres may be too far out for them to hold control.

They've certainly stretched it out though, Farrar is well positioned, Greipel is not.

it is asif they heard your criticism

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Farrar will take this from here.

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

Vey difficult to predict this one.

 

[Moondance]

Greipel is nowhere.... Or at least not that i can tell.

Good job Columbia

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

lol @ evans and vino

 

[Jamsque]

Evans and Vino lead it out for Farrar, but Matti Goss takes it!

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

Evans....and then not Greipel!

 

[Kender]

haha now i've seen it all. cuddles and vino going for the sprint

 

[zapata]

Not your typical bunch sprint! Greipel deserved that one. or was it goss?

 

[Moondance]

Wow.... Goss out of nowhere.

Good job Columbia


Nice to see that Cadel had a dig.

 

[ak-zaaf]

lol @ evans and vino

It's back to the sixties week

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

This was the strangest sprint i've ever seen!!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

t'was goss.

good win.

australia having a great GT

 

[Kender]

Not your typical bunch sprint! Greipel deserved that one.

no he didn't

 

[issoisso]

Here's how my ticker went:

- 1km to go
- GOSS WINS!



.............

 

[Jamsque]

That was indeed a strange, strange sprint.

I just saw the reason Farrar didn't win, Julian Dean was back in the group with Sastre.

Matty Goss 1st, Pozzato 2nd, Farrar 3rd. Not sure if that is enough to get him his points jersey back.

 

[zapata]

no he didn't

No, he didn't, Goss did. Assumed it was greipel.

 

[Anonymous]

A bit uphill in the sprint. Farrar just didn't have the kick. I saw him bridge to the Columbia break earlier, and wonder if he paid for that.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Here's how my ticker went:

- GOSS WINS!

haha

well pretty much evans and vino decided to sprint for the victory, and in the last 100m got owned by the sprinters.

 

[Roland Rat]

Holy carp... what's that out the window, plummeting to the ground... looks like some kind of an alien craft!

Oh, hang on, it's only Greipel's market value.

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

He was really good in that band Bross.
