[Netserk]

majka has a bad day. was already dropped on gavia

I'm quite sure that was Roche.

 

[GuyIncognito]

I'm quite sure that was Roche.

Roche was dropped on the Gavia yes, it was him on the feed.
Haven't seen Majka all day.

Who is the Movistar lunatic with short sleeves?

Well if he pushes hard enough on his pedals uphill, he may be pretty hot and sweating....

 

[icefire]

Who is the Movistar lunatic with short sleeves?

No idea, but he probably has a poster of Delgado climbing Gavia in short sleeves back in 1988

 

[DenisMenchov]

Great stage, what a shame I have to go in 20 minutes.

 

[melkemugg]

already down to 30-ish riders in the Rosa group?

 

[luckyboy]

can't believe that Majka would've dropped already

 

[LaFlorecita]

can't believe that Majka would've dropped already

Especially since there is still 4 Saxo in the peloton. Surely they would wait. Majka is there in white I think.

Castroviejo

 

[burning]

There are 4 Saxos in the peloton, Majka is probably there

Please someone send that picture to Lefevere

 

[Walkman]

savvy move, I'd say.

Probably.
I'd rather descend alone than in a larger group in these conditions so I don't think they did spend much more energy than they other on the way down.

 

[Pricey_sky]

The least the organisers can do is placing some people at the finish line with free soup for everyone.

I'd take a large flask of Sambucca! That would warm them up!

 

[jens_attacks]

Wow. what a stage.

 

[Pricey_sky]

So Pozzo and Evans weren't dropped they just stopped for food/clothes?

 

[Ferminal]

I feel like Delfino might make amends for 2010 here.

 

[Frosty]

Cataldo up ahead but there are still 3 Team Sky riders in the Maglia Rosa group (deignan, Henao and Swift (likes bad weather)?). Might have high hopes for Deignan today.

does anybody know where arredondo is? haven't seen him after the gavia.

 

[trevim]

I love the Stelvio, I love Italy, I must ride my bike up those mighty climbs one day!! One day in July though

 

[Walkman]

So Pozzo and Evans weren't dropped they just stopped for food/clothes?

According to the swedish commentator. And he knows italian so he'd probably got the information from Rai.

When I was a teenager I had a poster of riders climbing the Stelvio on the wall.
Oh the memories.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Riders are coming back. The pace is not high in group Q

 

[luckyboy]

does anybody know where arredondo is? haven't seen him after the gavia.

Should be in the pink jersey group? Dunno

You should! It's a beautiful climb!
