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

[nomapnocompass]

Looks fine, bloody freezing but raceable.

I guess there is also a big risk that the riders will neutralize the 2 climbs

The riders going for the KOM and stage win won't neutralise it. They will race it. Perfect time to get a stage win with the main favourites taking it easy.

I put my faith in Androni. They dont take **** from anyone (0;

Btw, do anyone got a time schedule? Need to coordinate my work hours with this stage (0;

Yes ryo. It's hard to imagine you as a parent only based on your forum posts
Im glad you seem to agree, imagine a horde of little narcistic Ryo's

no, no I don't have kids and would never want them as I find my own life and hapiness far too important plus all the **** you get with kids not when they are young but older. How old are you? I just know from many people especially men getting tricked into getting kids from their wives that their fun life is over

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Well it'll get cooler a sthe day progresses actually.

Ok i hope this doesn't end in desaster.
I am all for hard and toug racing. But going over 2500 m with that weather conditions is simply too dangerous.

it only gets warmer as the day progresses of course. my god facepalm here

in 2500 m altitude you have no idea how the weather looks like the next hour.
So yes, you are right about the facepalm.

On the other hand, my father has 2 kids, me and my sister and he said some years ago he would not have minded having had 5 or 6. Like a whole flock

I always had the same exact thoughts about having kids. It changed when friends and family around me started getting the little ******s. Now that I got one I indeed lost all my freedom, but I tell you that it is worth it. You have no idea until you get your own little kid.
You wont believe me, because I as well never believed people who used to say this to me

Will Majka gain time on Uran today? How is Majka downhill? And how about Evans today?

He sucks downhill, though I think Rogers gave him some lessons during the spring, but he still sucks especially if its wet, in that case he needs Rogers with him. And no, I think he´s the weakest of the contenders.

You know nothing, John Snow.

Remember last year's Lombardy?

I do hope you are kidding....... but let's please drop this, it is off-topic, if nothing else.

All good questions and I think thAt if they really race today anything can happen. Quintana should do well today, but maybe the cold will get to him? I think he actually does quite well in the cold, but I guess nothing is for sure today.

 

[classicomano]

These super high mountains are a big advantage for Cadel Evans, I think he will win this stage easily and be back in pink today.

 

[manafana]

We should get the final climb at least no? Stelvio might be out but still race?

On quintana I heard on twitter from decent sources that he is again ill and on anti botics and is not as well as Sunday.

Final climb is safe as it's "only" 1900m

 

[Marco Pantani]

Quintana ftw today, he's seen enough.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So, Pozzovivo has bronchitis... hmm

Also, what a great idea to build a road here
