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

[Ruby United]

Pretty much this.

RCS: "descent is neutralised"
some riders racing hard anyways
RCS: "oh we didnt mean it anyways - race on!"
GC riders minutes back: "WTF!!!!"

Lol, but true.


URAN 2 minutes behind Quintana!!!!

 

[Samson777]

Hahaha the neutralizing failed

I wonder what happens to the riders who stopped at the top like Kelderman and Majka. Are they now ****ed?

Yeah this is possibly totally ****ked... I mean If someone believed the race was neautralized and others knew it wasn't, it really destroys the stage totally. And should bring massive protest. Maybe they even have to cancel the result of today? Probably will not come to this I guess..

 

[TourOfSardinia]

leader Cataldo
??min Dupont trio
2min Qunitana Grp
2m45 ??
4m05 Uran group (Michael Rogers on the front)

Aru ?

 

[BigMac]

I will lol so hard once Urán's group catches Quintana... and Movistar get smoked on the final climb.

Anyone knows where the hell is Cadel?

 

[The Hitch]

So as excpected 0 GC relavance on after Gavia nd Stelvio All that hype for nothing

 

[Ruby United]

Just tuned in, what the **** happened

Now.... how to explain in less than two pages....

 

[murali]

sky one says 90 sec between Q and Uran


i'm pretty sure lefeviere will be super p***ed off.

if uran loses pink due to this, no one is going to be happy.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Uran is behind the Quintana group then? 2 mins apparently that's a big gap!!

It's a scandal...

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Where is Evans? Is he with Quintana?

No Delfino, no Aru?

 

[phanatic]

Yes, respect for Ryder. He's just really clever.

This is summer weather for Canadians.

On Twitter. Their source could have been the Giro's Twitter feed.

If there's confusion, you follow the other contenders just in case. If you don't, well yeah, screw up by RCS, but ultimately it's your own fault.

No its not. Its like saying if a bunch of tiders cross a closed rail-way crossing, all others should do it. That would be the dumbest thing ever.

If you cant trust what the organizers report then you get total anarchy

 

[Bumbibjörnen]

2min between Quitnana and Uran, + Quintana has lots of teammates with him, the gap is just gonna grow.

 

[icefire]

And have the highest point of the Tour in Italy?

Humans really will have colonies on Mars before the ASO allow that

Besides Tour refuse to take any good climbs, even in their own country, let alone other ones.

Not necessarily. Bonette > Iseran > Stelvio.

 

[Escarabajo]

Very unorganized they ruin the stage possibly with this false information ruined so who wants to see Quintana gain time like this! At least the French run a proper race

During the summer time!!

 

[murali]

where is pozzovivo??

 

[burning]

How on earth Rabottini and Rolland were able to descent really well

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Game Over - Quintana wins 2014 Giro today.

 

[The Hitch]

Andy Schleck just abandoned watching the stage.

lol

10 characters.

 

[Ruby United]

Omg. I wanted nairito to win the Giro, but not like this...

100% accurate! Still a shame

 

[Lupi33]

I cant believe that twitter is an official race communication channel between commissaires, director sportifs and riders

 

[luckyboy]

Uran like 3:20 back on Quintana then

 

[Arredondo]

So Bramilla working in the Uran group

 

[Cimber]

sky one says 90 sec between Q and Uran


i'm pretty sure lefeviere will be super p***ed off.

if uran loses pink due to this, no one is going to be happy.

And no-one will accept Quintanas win. Such a scandal. No one wins from that.

 

[melkemugg]

Haha. This stage is fantastic.
