[Bumeington]

De Gendt and Seeldrayers still there, De Greef & Slagter?

De Greef was dropping back about 5 mins ago

 

[Fetisoff]

Nibali less than impressed with Giro so far?

Vincenzo Nibali
Finalmente in tv vedo una tappa dura degna da Giro d'Italia!!! Alé @Liquigas_Cdale forza @ivanbasso

He's just ****ed off cause his teammates-to-be are sucking last couple stages

14 you can see from the previous mountain stages that there are around 14 riders who are perfoming better than all the others.


Also seems like Moreno is doing what he did on 17 and dropping early even though he has more left in the tank...

 

[niidirull]

Still there with one teammate...Seeldrayers?

I think it is Kangert with him, but not totally sure.

 

[Bumeington]

Szmyd gone

 

[manafana]

szymd is gone for the gas again today, should be fresh surely for tomorrow thou.

RK is up their i expect at least 20 at the top

 

[will10]

is Kreuziger still climbing in front despite Tira getting dropped?

 

[dgodave]

So they are going to ride this again....? Thats just weird.

[maltiv]

Would be cool if Henao tries an attack. With Flecha up the road he'd have a decent chance of staying away. But then again, Liquigas are probably too strong anyway...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Szmyd dropped. Kreuziger seems to be waiting. He was talking in the radio

 

[hrotha]

This might be forum suicide, but I'll say it: Szmyd is very overrated.

 

[Froome19]

Szymd is gone. Both super domestiques are gone for Purito and Basso.

Caruso has been really strong in this Giro.

 

[shalgo]

Kreuzinger pulling off to the side to wait for Tiralongo?

 

[fluffkitten]

What's with Roman?

 

[Lexman]

Still there with one teammate...Seeldrayers?

I think it's Kangert, Seeldrayers at the back i think?

He has had 3 mechanicals

 

[hrotha]

He has had 3 mechanicals

No, I mean in general.

There's a reasonable argument to be made for that, but I don't think his troubles here really make it. He's normally better than this anyway.

Waiting to help Zeits in 2nd lap?

I concur.
It was pretty much the same last year.



On the other hand, Agnoli is trying to get back.
Roman maybe waiting for Tira.

I'm not really the fan of Szmyd, but he has got many problems. It's clear that he is not 100% fit.

 

[webvan]

RK back, odd

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Also, it should be good for the race that Szmyd is sucking. I'm fine with Basso grinding everyone off his wheel if he's the best, but he should have to do it himself.
