and what will that mean? there are still riders in front in the attack

Not for long.

 

[Cimber]

and what will that mean? there are still riders in front in the attack

Guess they will do a time check and give the same time when they start again at the bottom

 

[trevim]

Savio looks like the Godfather in the car

and what will that mean? there are still riders in front in the attack

Luuc Eisinga says a moto with a yellow flag will ride in front of the peloton. Peloton will catchh the break anyway

 

[kingjr]

But a rider alone up the road would still be allowed to ride as fast as he dares?

 

[Publicus]

Has Tinkoff closed down the breakaway?

 

[Eshnar]

kind of expected that. If there's any risk of ice in the Stelvio descent, it's really better not to race it. If you fall from an hairpin they'll find your body in Prato.

 

[Parrulo]

Cancelling the descent? Might as well just say you are cancelling the ascent as well

and after that the peloton is 100 guys? ridiculous as that will only make riders colder from the long descend.

What's the gap from the break to the maglia rosa group? Cyclingnews live feed situation sidebar seems to be well behind the action.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Can't they deploy a safety car like they do in F1 ??

 

[Yingge]

and what will that mean? there are still riders in front in the attack

Exactly, it will be hard to restart at the bottom with the same gaps as at the top - sort of punishes the attackers.

Let them keep racing, its about more than climbing a mountain.

Last graphic I saw gap was 20". not sure how accurate that is though

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Lol Eurosport
didn't realise Cataldo attacked to win the GPM not the race!

 

[Parrulo]

Cataldo

 

[Stelvio]

They just passed the intersection to Umbrail at 2500 meters, so just 260 altitude meters to go..

 

[dgodave]

Riding in snow. Fingerless gloves. Yuck.

 

[murali]

what happens to time gaps at the foot of the climb?

 

[ILovecycling]

This,its a silly comment by rcs

 

[Bumbibjörnen]

So Cataldo can still go at full speed if he still has a gap at the top or what?

 

[murali]

neutralized means, will they descend inside a bus or will they ride down?

Have the organizers thought of this scenario?

 

[Lexman]

does anyone have a sporza webstream?

 

[Arnout]

Yeah I really don't get that either.

Hatch just said they will be staying on bikes.
