Bart Leysen (Lotto-Belisol) confirms to @sporza_koers the neutralization was NOT called on the race radio #giro

Lol. Specifically chosen team cars. This is becoming such a nice ploted conspirancy.

Just watch as every team on the losing side heard the announcement and every team winning didn't.

We should see what the neutral teams say, teams like lotto who is fighting for absolutely nothing right now.

 

[Arnout]

The fact that there is only controversy on Twitter and not in the actual race indicates that all teams got the same info, in my opinion.

 

[Them Bones]

I've been watching the whole stage and don't have a f**king clue either mate.

 

[Flamin]

Do they use crows to deliver messages?
If Radio Corsa said it, everyone heard it. It's very simple. If someone did not hear it, then it was not official.

Doesn't mean every rider got the message in time. Remember Kittel last year in the Tour, stage 1?

 

[King Boonen]

what part don't you understand

oops.

all of it!!!!

That's what I think as well. Or some DS relied on Twitter info...which would be stupid since it isn't official.

 

[King Boonen]

they do, if the info is relied through the race radio. Which is what you'd expect in a case like this.

but Ryo says!!!!!

 

[PirazziAttacksVino]

Pantano doing a Colombian

 

[Escarabajo]

I still think they have gone too early. Only Quintana has a teammate left. 40 kilometers in this conditions on your own will cost a lot of energy. Gutsy move, great stage, but I think they will pay for it sooner or later. Maybe even today.

That's why they went with team mates!

But then Quickstep DS would go wild now and clearly he isn't. So yeah, it's all bull**** I think.

 

[Walkman]

Why is grope Rosa going so slow? Uran can't be that confident? Or is he already spent?

 

[woodburn]

Why is AG2R working?

 

[hfer07]

twitter= EVIL

let the men race & the boys descend at their "confortable" pace
that's all

i'd suggest a language issue caused the discrepancy
tweet went out in english but not spanish

 

[trevim]

Pantano helping out a bit. Good for him, I hope he gets out of that team soon

Democratic elections That's the one thing I haven't yet figured out when I come to power. On one hand they are great as they prevent oppression if done right, on the other hand people are often short sighted and won't choose the optimal solution.

It literally is the only thing in the world I don't know how to solve.

make that very often and we agree..

Beside, I must admit there is more than that, I don't know ho to solve

 

[rainman]

Holy Sh!t!!! Is the situation on Cyclingnews live report correct? Quintana 3 minutes up the road from Uran!

Anyone want to give me a quick recap of what I missed?

Got all day?, you'll have to catch up later. I think its nearer 2 minutes

 

[mattghg]

Come on Cataldo! Amazing ride.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Pantano looking for a movistar contract next year, in case his current is expiring

Someone in RCS made a mistake.

And then the butterfly effect.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Has anybody seen Evans?

 

[Arnout]

Problem is Saxo-Tinkoff twitter is taken as official source even though that's far from in race information, probably just a PR person in Denmark copying false information.

Rolland always looks at relaxed, barely looks like he breaths
