LOL Cavendish losing the rossa

He might lose it to the time limit anyway

 

[BillytheKid]

Rodriguiez Grande? Another Leipheimer today. Shameful.

 

[Steel4Ever]

Tell the truth....I'm pretty sick of "epic" mountain stages with no attacks except in the last 1km. What's the use, really.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Ryder winner of Giro 2012.

yup. I cant see him losing it.

 

[jobiwan]

WHAT A STAGE! Great rides by De Gendt and Hesjedal!
I think Hesjedal is safe from De Gendt.

Rodriguez lost himself the Giro. 31 kms is 30 kms too long tomorrow for him!

 

[Fetisoff]

On a bright side, it seems like J-Rod's gonna finish ahead of Basso in GC, so you know what that means, right, Parullo?

 

[screaming fist]

I hope Hesjedal takes it tomorrow. He's earned it.

 

[will10]

wow, Pozzo blew pretty spectacularly.

 

[ooh_25mm]

OK, time to do some math.

 

[Ferminal]

Does anyone actually like Rodriguez anymore?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Pozzovivo blows up completely

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

JRod sucked wheels for all but the last 800 meters.

 

[meat puppet]

He might lose it to the time limit anyway

As if that's ever gonna be actually imposed.

So it's around 1.30 between Hesjedal and TDG. Gonna be close!

 

[Parrot23]

Rodriguez with his typical 1km attack after wheelsucking a whole climb

He still has a domestique's mentality, it seems, in grand tours.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Does anyone actually like Rodriguez anymore?

Never did like his 1km attacks

 

[Rocksteady]

JRod sucked wheels for all but the last 800 meters.

What a b****

 

[meandmygitane]

Why did Sky ride? Just so they could be dropped more easily? So stupid.

 

[cineteq]

Rodriguez
Hesjedal +29
Scarponi +1.49
De Gendt +2.17

 

[Parrulo]

Does anyone actually like Rodriguez anymore?

honestly he is a boring GT rider. . . . only attacks on the last k.

 

[XlandaluzeX]

ok, finally we got a decent stage

epic De Gendt

 

[Parrot23]

Does anyone actually like Rodriguez anymore?

No, not here.

Like a little dog, always barking, nipping your heels, then looking pleased a punch with himself for biting you,and dodging away then. Look at me!

But that's great for the Muur, etc.

 

[The Sheep]

Wow. Overshadowed by DG's awessome performance is that Hejsdal looks like he has just won the GIro.

Don't know maybe today's effort will cost him.

 

[ooh_25mm]

Tell the truth....I'm pretty sick of "epic" mountain stages with no attacks except in the last 1km. What's the use, really.

This always happenes at high altitude. more grinding and attrition than flashy attacks...its just a differnt kind of racing.

 

[Steel4Ever]

Ryder better take pink tomorrow.

He has a new wife...I'm sure he'll take some tomorrow no matter what.



(do I get demerits for that?)

Are you for real?

With TdG attacking from 60 km out and looking like he could win the giro until the last two km...
