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

[Ryo Hazuki]

I have been actually and I know it's not funny with the wind and all that. But still...

I doubt you've ever raced a bike when icewater was on your hands. you can';t even mover anymore.

 

[Flamin]

Malori is a frickin beast _O_

 

[jsem94]

I hope we get some attacks in the downhill... maybe Rolland will go again.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Evans was immediately dropping back as soon as that attack begun

 

[Ferminal]

Saxo defending third Could have been a crap stage without Kiserlovski.

 

[trevim]

Shame Spilak isn't in the Giro. He'd have finished the stage by now.

I don't think he starts a GT since Giro '11!

Anyway, Rolland is tired of this crap Gotta love even if I hated him in '11 after he stole Alpe from Velasco. But hey, climbers that don't seem to breath are awesome. Also his riding style is similar to Andy Schleck and that's very stylish!

 

[luckyboy]

Why is it funny?

just funny how often he attacks this Giro

 

[Arredondo]

Evans and Uran together.

 

[murali]

what color raincoat for Uran?

will he have to wear a pink rain coat too?

#doubt

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Note for Hitch:

the pass here is called Cima Coppi (not Pantani!)

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Not just the Giro squad, the whole team

who is supposed to do something?

Guardini has been awful for years now at Astana.
Nibali is, well doing his thing.
Birdsong has been very strong this year.
Kangert has been out of shape I grant you that.
The giro squad looked very strong in trentino, but as previously stated, alot of injuries.
Gasparotto and Iglinksy has not really been where some of us hoped, but still strongish

 

[Parrulo]

I hope we get some attacks in the downhill... maybe Rolland will go again.

Rolland and downhill don't go very well together

But Rolland and Uphill = poetry in motion

 

[senatorrick]

Maybe a little but he's been lighting the fuse and that makes the race much more exciting

Black rain coat. Hes in the bunch.

 

[Arredondo]

Uran is way back in that group

 

[Arnout]

I doubt you've ever raced a bike when icewater was on your hands. you can';t even mover anymore.

Not my hands, but my feet. My feet were so cold. Could barely hold them under cold water after the ride.

Still, isn't that kind of what you sign up for if you're a cyclist?

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Chalapud is doing great stuff for the mountain jersey if he passes the top first

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kelderman in the wheel of Aru.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Uran Uran soon to be isolated?

 

[Broth3r]

Here comes the snow...

Bozic is also worse. Grivko's also worse. Westra's been awful.

 

[Flamin]

Aru suffering very hard.

Rolland is no bad descender, I don't know about his abilities on wet roads though.

 

[senatorrick]

Aru looks to be suffering to the bone
