Well done to Kadri, he earned that one, just wish we had had a good livestream for the race.
and Pozzato, Bole, and Ponzi all in the top 5 will bode well for my CQ team.

Really? That's a shame...

 

[woodenswan]

pippo inzaghi retiring.

thats a heck of a reaction

on a different note, i also love P Savoldelli checking in during the race, shouting at the top of his voice

 

[Christian]

wow, ag2r is on fire this season (for their standards anyways)! happy for kadri and the team!

 

[SafeBet]

Saw most of the race live and man it was entertaining. Kadri with an mazing effort in the last 40kms.

Nibali attacked on Campi di Annibale and only Santambrogio, Reda and Rubiano were able to follow. Peloton was into pieces and Pozzato lost a bit of time. His team mates who didn't even know where he was

Nibali's group started chasing Kadri with 35kms to go but the Androni duo didn't truly cooperate until the last 15, which I find absurd considering they had good chances of winning this.

Pozzato and some others then bridged on the peloton and they started gaining time but not enough. Nobody in the peloton knew that Kadri was still out, they thought they were chasing Nibali's group. Even Bole said in the interview that he was really angry on the finishing line because he thought he was second


All in all big win for racing without radios, always very entertaining. And Kadri was a hero.
Of course Pippo for the lulz He even said "ho fatto davvero una figura di merda" (I looked like a berk).

Props to Nibbles as well, but always lacking something to get it done.

I think most of us did enough French at school to recognise that translating a cognate of merde as berk is very charitable of you...

[burning]

Kadri's chain came off right at the top of last climb and he fixed it during descent without stopping, props to him

 

[Hugo Koblet]

In English one would normally say "I made an *** of myself." Not idomatically the same thing, but the meaning is that.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ncie win for...

 

[LaFlorecita]

serious contender for photo of the year

Somewhere around this time last year I was in a cab on that road

 

[Netserk]

I'm so mad that I can't watch the Gazzetta stream

RCS bring it back!

 

[Zam_Olyas]

I was out so couldn't watch ..pippo on the podium again .. the perennial bridesmaid.

 

[rhubroma]

Wow, what a photo yes. Amazing surroundings.

I saw the race live in 95 at the finish, when it was still the Giro di Lazio. It finished before the nearby Arch of Constantine. Not bad either.
