In between stages 2014

News,non-news, musings or whatever about 2014 Giro during the 3rd rest day.

I think Franco Pellizotti will win a stage in the coming stages.

I think Garmin and Orica will remain with 1 ridear each

As of now the conditions in Gavia and Stelvio are okay and no plan of cancellation yet.

 

[Red Rick]

Can anyone translate the main points of what Tiralongo writes about Aru?

 

[Them Bones]

Sigh, the only thing worse than the rest days, are the flat days.

 

[Jspear]

I predict Uran will defend his jersey perfectly tomorrow....don't think he'll lose anytime.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

So do I. Tomorrow he won't loose a second.

I agree, he wont lose a second, it will be much closer to a minute when Quintana is finished with him.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Top 10 will be very good for Basso.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Will Aru finish in the top 3?

Will Aru finish in the top 3?

He has a great chance of a podium, he cant afford a bad day though.

If I had to predict my 3 to podium I would go for Aru, Uran and Quintana but no idea which way round, It's going to be a great few days with 4 big GC stages. I hope it comes down to a fight on Zoncolan!

I don't think he would, Evens could still crept in the podium in my proud opinion (IMPO )

I'll do it when I get back home for lunch if nobody does it before.

 

[ILovecycling]

Will Aru finish in the top 3?

I think it all depends on his recovery,if he is consistent Im almost sure he will be on podium (maybe even win).Tomorrow will be an important stage as its first stage after rest day and someone is worse after rest days,someone even better (no clinic).

That wouldn't be good for Uran.

Eventually the hawk spread his wings and started flying. On the mountain where once triumphed the great Marco Pantani, Fabio Aru has attacked and dropped all of them, an action worthy of a champion, without being in awe of the top riders.

Very hard stage, but we're all happy. I protected Fabio on the front of the group before hitting the climb and then I paced myself. His win does not surprise me, as I knew he was feeling great. He gave a sign of his strength. In the next few days we have to stay close to him, cause we know the podium is within reach.

Maglia Rosa

1 Nacer BOUHANNI FRA FDJ 24 251
2 Giacomo NIZZOLO ITA TFR 25 225
3 Elia VIVIANI ITA CAN 25 173
4 Roberto FERRARI ITA LAM 31 161
5 Ben SWIFT GBR SKY 27 130


I think Nacer is nailed in for a win here but Nizzolo could still overtake him
