Stage 16: Ponte Di Legno-Val Martello/Martelltal (139 km)

[burning]

Looks like Rai got it wrong, they are clearly struggling

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Rai said they were attacking but it seems less and less likely looking at their group . . .

tjhet just hit the cobbled section so they are minutes behind. looks like evans will have his ecxus reayd now though lol

 

[Arredondo]

So now three leaders?

Pelizotti, Cataldo and Vuillermoz

 

[jens_attacks]

and they started the stelvio!!!!!

 

[GuyIncognito]

You know, they finally managed to make tennis exciting for me: by making me root for the dude ahead to finish the match already!

Let me guess, Eurosport?

There's an entire generation of europeans who grew up hating tennis because of that. Eurosport is obsessed with it and it tends to overrun whatever other sport people want to watch

 

[burning]

I think Rai confirmed that Evans is in trouble

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Evans dropped, Pozzo dropped

Kelderman, Quintana and Uran in the same group

 

[PirazziAttacksVino]

I think Morabito was dropped earlier. So definitely Pozzo and Cadel were dropped.

 

[Netserk]

and they started the stelvio!!!!!

Good luck trying to time the climbs today

 

[Roude Leiw]

ugh my god. evans is dropped. more than 1:30 to group uran and quintana.

Not sure, it says chasing group when they show him...

 

[luckyboy]

Pellizotti, Colombians > Swift, Rosa > Cataldo, Vuillermoz, Niemiec > Landa, Kiserlovski > Maglia Rosa group > Evans, Pozzovivo

?

 

[LaFlorecita]

are you serieus? clealry dropped like a stone

Wait? Who is right? I'm watching Rai so I have no idea what they're saying and i've only just switched on.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

And still British Eurosport have both channels showing the tennis!

Cheering on random guy in fluo shirt vs Hewitt. Hope this doesn't go to a final set

 

[burning]

Pellizotti, Colombians > Swift, Rosa > Cataldo, Vuillermoz, Niemiec > Landa, Kiserlovski > Maglia Rosa group > Evans, Pozzovivo

?

Vuillermoz and Cataldo are with Pelizotti and they are leading

 

[TourOfSardinia]

And still British Eurosport have both channels showing the tennis!

that's coz it's Euro-torture rather than Eurosport

 

[Arredondo]

Pellizotti, Colombians > Swift, Rosa > Cataldo, Vuillermoz, Niemiec > Landa, Kiserlovski > Maglia Rosa group > Evans, Pozzovivo

?

Something like that

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Quintana-Nizzolo-Pirazzi-Duarte-Poels-Kiserlovski-Arredondo-Aru-Kelderman in the same group

Evans/Pozzo are 1'30 behind pink group...

 

[Pentacycle]

Vuillermoz finally got his chance to shine and grabs it with both hands.

 

[The Hitch]

Can they do a finish somewhere on the Stelvio?

Val M paid for the finish.

 

[Parrulo]

I think Rai confirmed that Evans is in trouble

ya, they confirmed it a couple minutes ago.

A shame Pozzo always has to get sick in a GT

 

[GuyIncognito]

Tall thin riders tend to suffer badly in this cold. No surprise Basso is dropped.
Aru and Kelderman are at similar risk

 

[Pentacycle]

Wait? Who is right? I'm watching Rai so I have no idea what they're saying and i've only just switched on.

Ryo is right of course.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Giro twitter feed says Pozzo and Evans attacked? no pictures for me due to the tennis. Get lost Hewitt and lose this bloody match!!!!

 

[whittashau]

Where is Aru?
