[happychappy]

Yes!!! Rolland in trouble

Take that BOOM.

 

[hfer07]

Quintana is now free to reach the finish line on his own

game over!!

Edit- damn - Rolland is fighting !!! good!!!

 

[jsem94]

"Sorry for the confusion" again? RCS can't stop messing up today.

They should just shut up.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rolland returning on the easier part

 

[willbick]

Think quintana is burning himself out here

 

[Afrank]

Quintana to destroy all lifeform on earth

Called it ages ago.

 

[jens_attacks]

Allez pierrot!

 

[burning]

Smart racing by Rolland and Hesjedal

 

[Walkman]

Uran looks really slow.

 

[happychappy]

And they're back to wheelsucking.

 

[JibberJim]

Quintana really didn't seem to realise that it flattened loads immediately after that steep bit - stupid place to attack!

 

[Afrank]

They should just shut up.

Agreed.

[Dekker_Tifosi]

3 minutes. Quintana is now definately winning the Giro

 

[bjaelkesex]

Rolland getting podium?!

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Quintana caught.

Uran leading the group.

Evans doing his best Leipheimer impression.

 

[Eclipse]

More manual timing updates would be appreciated whenever there's a chance

 

[Ferminal]

If Uran is poor then give him 1km on the front and attack the crap out of him.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Majka and Kelderman

 

[Afrank]

Majka attacking. Pozzo following.

 

[yetanothergreenworld]

Actually it shows that they weren't wheelsucking at all: the most they can do is hang on.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Quintana really didn't seem to realise that it flattened loads immediately after that steep bit - stupid place to attack!

I always get the feeling he isn't the most clever of people, but I love the way he rides!

Majka goes!!!!!

 

[Jspear]

Hesjdal and Rolland are hanging on by the skin of their racing shorts.

 

[BigMac]

Agreed.

I think Hitch was joking with that tweet.

Majka attacks meanwhile.

 

[RedheadDane]

Organisers just have to let the results today stand.
They won't be able to keep track of who'd heard what about the neutralisation, and something tells me the riders would be even more mad if they reached the line to a message of:
"We messed up, let's just pretend this stage never happened."

If Uran is poor then give him 1km on the front and attack the crap out of him.

Your wish is granted, sire
