Giro d'Italia Stage 9: Messina - Etna, 169km (let the race begin!)

[auscyclefan94]

Nibali trying to go!

 

[The Hitch]

Flat now. Pistol shot, here we come.

 

[Moondance]

Has anyone seen Jo-Rod?

Dropped long time ago.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Jrod, Menchov (especially) and Scarponi most dissapointing.

 

[Jamsque]

Sivtsov is having a fantastic day.

 

[Highlander]

I'm left with the sense that we may see an overall winner with a 10+ minute advantage by the end.

 

[killswitch]

Great effort by Rujano.

 

[Granville57]

Bang bang!!!!

 

[spalco]

Super effort by Rujano. No shame in taking second like that.

 

[The Hitch]

Bang Bang, thank you mam.

What no pistol, Rujano loses 4 + 8

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

can Conti hold them all off over the last flat?

 

[Cobblestoned]

bang bang, bang bang bang bang

Congrats Alberto. Great performance, also by Rujano.

 

[Francois the Postman]

A bit of a cycling lesson to the rest of the class. What a sight.

 

[Moondance]

Flat now. Pistol shot, here we come.

[auscyclefan94]

Seems as they got a bit of tme back. Garzelli looks quite strong actually.

 

[veganrob]

Wow. Quite a statement from Alberto. The peloton should be scared.

 

[The Hitch]

Amazing from Old man Stefano.

13 14 and 15 are going to be epic.

Rujano will have made a few fans today too, for those that hadn't had him on their radar yet.

 

[goggalor]
