Stage 5: San Martino di Castrozza - Alpe di Siusi

[Zoncolan]

Pelizzotti gone.
Basso gonna take it

 

[Merckx]

I agree, it's odd that Lance gets 3 teamates to stick with him, while Levi rides alone upfront.

Universal commentator is making me want to stab my ears.

This is the funniest comment in my couple months on the forum.

 

[Merckx]

Cunego is so disappointing..

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Simoni dropped! Menchov struggling. Sastre struggling!

Announcer clueless!

Basso looks very strong. Who can keep up?

 

[Cobblestones]

Sastre back. He looked smooth.

 

[jaylew]

Down to 8. Sastre seemed to get back rather easily.

Simoni dropped! Menchov dropped. Sastre struggling!

Menchov and Sastre still there

 

[jaylew]

Cunego is so disappointing..

Was it really unexpected, though?

Lance is the boss. He gets what he wants, even if that is not in the best interest of the team. I have always got the impression that he is a bit of a ****.

Løvkvist to win the Giro

i think lance is doing the sensible thing at the moment.. i can see that group picking up and passing some of the ones who are dropping off the front group now...

and i think levi has a freind.. cant quiete see...

 

[Bala Verde]

LIQ has crushed them.. even pelli! Basso is strong...

 

[ingsve]

Lövkvist still there but may drop soon?

 

[Merckx]

Yea, Levi has Horner with him

 

[53x11 in DC]

Levi looks really smooth - Basso is going to start to get pretty pi$$ed at doing all the work.

 

[Zoncolan]

Lovkvist WTF
Finally he pops

 

[mr. tibbs]

Hmm...Basso's not getting any help up there.

 

[Merckx]

Wonder if anyone has anything left for an attack?

 

[Anonymous]

you could argue astana have got this bang on.. levi with a leitenant up front and in great position.. the rest of the team solid together, taking it a bit easier and saving energy...

 

[Cobblestones]

Lovkvist getting dropped now

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Pace slowing. Sastre and Menchov keeping up. Carlos did look very smooth.

Chris Horner keeping up.

Amazing camera follows Lance and his several domestiques more than the Maglia Rosa.

 

[Merckx]

Lokvist dangling off the back, they're almost there..

 

[jaylew]

Wow, Horner is strong!

 

[Bala Verde]

sastre remontres... very strong... Lovqkvist.. difficult to see (i am butchering his name) Leipi and Menchov still there and arroyo!

lovkvist is on the rope/elastic!
