Stage 20: Saturday May 26th, Caldes/Val di Sole - Passo dello Stelvio 219km

[Kwibus]

The future of cycling: 20% gradients so that the selection makes itself.

It's neccesary these days.

 

[Parrot23]

I wonder if anyone was struggling because they don't have gears optimized for the Mortirolo but will do better on the Stelvio.

Good question: was wondering why some looked so overgeared. (Thinking of Wiggins on Angliru last year, etc.)

 

[vcampbell]

And 54k...

He can lose 0,27 second / km.

 

[Trofinios]

De Gendt is a future contender to win TDF. Very impressed by him.

 

[The Sheep]

sporza must be kicking themselves not showing this

 

[Kwibus]

I'm really really hoping for a massacre on the Stelvio.

It must happen, but it won't happen if Hesjedal is able to follow everyone. Which seems very likely.

 

[will10]

Scarponi across to the Vacan duo

 

[spalco]

What the **** else are they showing today?

 

[Pharazon]

"yes, intersting".... BAM advert

 

[Descender]

Eurosport and RAI: incompetent!

 

[issoisso]

What the **** else are they showing today?

The Tour of Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

[Caruut]

Ivan and Pippo cooking shoes again.

 

[Panda Claws]

What the **** else are they showing today?

Ronde van België

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Thomas!!!
As i predicted

You did, but I interpreted it as Geraint Thomas, and assumed it wasn't to be taken seriously

 

[Rocksteady]

Ivan and Pippo cooking shoes again.

Well, Basso is definitely cooked...

 

[Descender]

Yeah of course Basso is saving himself for Monday's third rest day

Basso is gased. What about the rest? Are they all equally gased? So gased they can't ride harder than bloody Pauwels on the bloody Mortirolo?

 

[vcampbell]

Ivan and Pippo cooking shoes again.

Delicious, like the first time.

 

[hrotha]

Basso is gased. What about the rest? Are they all equally gased? So gased they can't ride harder than bloody Pauwels on the bloody Mortirolo?

Now, now, don't be harsh. Didn't they take like 30 seconds on Zaugg on the whole climb?

 

[Parrot23]

A Hesjedal-Scarponi tandem again?

Hope so.

Scarponi > Basso can only help Hesjedal versus Rodriguez.

 

[EddyW.]

What the **** else are they showing today?

A bunch of sprinters trying to do a time trial. They could have easily switched to the Giro half an hour ago.

 

[Fetisoff]

Basso is gased. What about the rest? Are they all equally gased? So gased they can't ride harder than bloody Pauwels on the bloody Mortirolo?

But hey, they're giving it their all and racing as hard as they can...

Again, how about it was a half-arsed effort and not a real, sustained attack?

Almost as if it was half-arsed.

OK, you've made your point. We get it. Can you go away now? Please?

 

[Steel4Ever]

1 mountain and 45 kilometers more until Canada's first and only GT victory!

PLEASE don't screw it up!!!

Seriously...it's nice to see a Canadian not afraid to attack the "stars".

 

[LaFleur]

Who is it from Astana in the bunch? Seeldrayers, Kangert or Kreuziger?

 

[hrotha]

OK, you've made your point. We get it. Can you go away now? Please?

Hey, you can put us on ignore if you can't handle the truth

 

[Fetisoff]

Hey, you can put us on ignore if you can't handle the truth

I can't handle the whining.
Ignore feature is for losers anyway
