damn Kruijswijk gone

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

LOL @ mulletCobra!

 

[rxgqgxnyfz]

Anyone saw how Conta talked to Rujano?

There is some agreement: stage/gc

 

[The Sheep]

Menchov on a minute

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Rujano doing his best Leipheimer impersonation.

Looks like "Sucka" Serpa taught him everything he knows. Good work Rujano, making Contador do all the work is the only hope we have for a non-2006-esque race in week 3 methinks.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Kruijswijk is there

Menchov 25 secs behind 'peloton'

i couldn't see him ??

 

[The Hitch]

Yes. Niemiec should take over Lampre leadership. Screw Scarponi

Where are the 1 million fans we were promised though.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Rujano looks like he may lose control of his bowels soon.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rujano hanging on for dear life

 

[spalco]

How's Rujano's sprinting? Probably significantly worse than Contador, no?

 

[Escarabajo]

Rujano taking advantage of his weight.

 

[Bala Verde]

If he did 40s in 2.5k, he could take 1.5m in the remainder of the stage...

 

[The Sheep]

i couldn't see him ??

yeah me neither?

 

[mr. tibbs]

Oh man. How long have you been waiting to use that one, Mullet? Haha. Steakment.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

AC wont drop Rujano anymore, the gradient doesn't go past 6% anymore.

 

[Moondance]

Niemiec doing yeoman's work

 

[Mellow Velo]

Rujano hanging on for dear life

He is ergonomically designed to suck wheel.

Rujano looks like he may lose control of his bowels soon.

Spat on my screen.

 

[Jamsque]

One Lampre is not going to be able to bring back Contador. If no-one else chases or attacks he is going to take the Maglia Rosa with a huge gap.

 

[Granville57]

AC wants the stage too!

 

[The Hitch]

Rujano dropped.

Ill be impressed if he doesnt get caught.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

John Gadret! Day of the pocket climbers today

 

[Bala Verde]

Contador is sprinting up to the moto....

 

[luckyboy]

So I wonder will get 2nd in this Giro..

 

[SiAp1984]

I really can't stand AC. And of course he should not race the Giro. But this attack was really impressive.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

1 minute wow... that sucks.
