I see Rujano at the Vuelta this year anyway, so he's got other goals as well one might say

That would be interesting, if true.

 

[The Hitch]

Harmonn suggesting that Cav should get in the break tomorrow.

Would be epic.

Kreuzi fetching bottles

 

[wirral]

Kreuziger doing domestique duties. I thought CN forum had him pegged as an arrogant princeling.

 

[doperhopper]

Epic Kreuziger today - carrying bottles

Cav was fetching bottles the other day, doesn't make him any less arrogant.

I wish, but even Ryo said that Rujano pretty much needs an aim on his mind for a long time to get into the mindset where he is deadly.

Also, with what team?

After Hoogerland's crash last summer, Kreuziger pushed him halfway up a mountain when he was in trouble . Legend.

Saxo if Alberto doesn't come ?

Anyone see the break hold on till the end? less than 8 minutes advance, is that enough? I don't think so

Didn't Ryo say Rujano's contract was up in June anyway? Would be cool to see him get a team for the Vuelta.

in 2006 rujano. didn't suck at all. often I think I'm the only one who actually watched cycling all those years ago. rujano retired out of giro 2006 after his body become undercold or however you say that during a downhil and that whole giro was to prepare for the tour of that year anyway. his first attack saturyday by rujano was very strong btw. but again he suffered and body blocked in cold of downhil. once again it shows how 1000 things must go right for rujano and everything did except the weather for 2 days

I suppose Confucius might have come up with something like:
"One man's bad luck is another man's bad suck".

 

[hrotha]

Like someone said elsewhere, this Giro is like running the marathon on 2:20 and wondering why some guy you weren't expecting beat you.

 

[Frosty]

Hm, so Guardini had a big advantage at the start of the Manghen climb but will Cav beat him to the finish?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

chicchi retires. think he never finished a gt

 

[vcampbell]

Also the yetis love cycling!

 

[Wigwan]

Chicchi out.

 

[wirral]

Cav was fetching bottles the other day, doesn't make him any less arrogant.

Fair point.
There's some though that wouldn't lower themselves.

 

[boomcie]

chicchi retires. think he never finished a gt

Correct.

apparently Chicci is the second abandon who was the first,anyone knows?

edit : ok it was Rujano already forgot about him (combining work and the Giro is not productif)

Rujano....

you must be talking about Favilli and Balloni, they didn't start the stage...

Not a chance. The top of the GC leaderboard is too bunched. The racing *has* to be hard today and tomorrow. Basso cannot wait for just the Stelvio stage to try to shake things up.

I think it was a wookie. Use the Force Basso. Use it wisely

inxtausti in trouble so or just struggling find rhythm since tyre change?
