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

[LaFleur]

what the **** are the peloton doing?

This is like Schleck vs Evans last year all over again

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Lol at Rolf Sørensen commenting on Danish TV2:

"If I was De Gendt's ds i would be standing on top of the car and I would have to bikes in each hand in case something happened."

LMAO. Indeed.

Hesjedal putting Basso in trouble.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I'll say this now: the women's race up here in 2010 was several times better than this.

 

[CasperVg]

Did De Gendt save energy for 3 weeks for this stage?

It almost seems this way. Either that, or De Gendt's recuperation is miles ahead of any other contender, which makes him compartively superstrong in the final week (same thing at le Tour 2011)

 

[trevim]

Okay let's not get ahead of ourselves. Yesterday Hesjay had won it. Now, De Gendt has won it.

Let's wait and see.

I still remember Andy loosing a lot on the last 2km of Galibier. Still, I hope de Gendt keeps it going and wins the damn thing. What a ride!!

 

[seldon71]

Hesjedal is JUST as tired than De Gendt. He may be able to respond if someone goes, but won't make major inroads by himself.

 

[mr. tibbs]

this is all on Purito, Scarponi, Basso... they didn't help RH and they've given the giro to TDG

But why help Hesjedal win?

 

[BillytheKid]

JRod such a class act and wheel sucker.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Pozzovivo looks ready to attack now


.... bohhhhhh

 

[Rocksteady]

Italians are either 100% spent or total crap. They can't win without doing something, forget Ryder and think about DeGendt

 

[issoisso]

Pozzovivo looks ready to attack now


.... bohhhhhh

And he does....backwards

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Wow. Ryder is destroying them.

 

[Parrot23]

What does the gap have to be at end for Ryder to hold de Gendt in the TT.

4mins, ie. he needs to take back a min. here? Looks unlikely.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Lol Pozzo dead!!!

Scarponi, Hesjedal, Rodriguez and henao now

 

[Parrulo]

domenico cracked

basso as well

 

[Fetisoff]

pozzovivo looks ready to attack now


.... Bohhhhhh

noooooooooooooooooot

 

[Aristarchus]

Ryder is splintering what is left of the group.

 

[ElChingon]

Vaughters lost this Giro

Maybe next time they'll wait till they actually win one to start patting themselves on the back.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

that corner was carnage, steeper stuff coming.

Jrod looking good tho.

 

[Arnout]

Hesjedal is the strongest. Who would've thought that.

 

[UpTheRoad]

Pozzo and Basso dropped. Didn't see that from Pozzo at all.

 

[gthx_gthx_]

I don't understand people. Apparently you're mad because nobody help Hesjedal to win when he is clearly the strongest... He should be infront killing himself.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Why is Henao not back there with Uran?

 

[Arnout]

If Purito is indeed good, he would be a massive idiot.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Basso looks to be in a rough spot.

Henao drops back to Uran.
