I think Betancour will take the white from Majka, he has a bit more experience and is probably a more all rounder type. Anyway, nice battle.
Pirazzi really annoys me

What happened to Pozzovivo?

Crashed in the descent between Telegraphe and Galibier.

Group Gesink almost caught. Thanks to Martinez/Kiserlovski/Di Luca doing nothing

Gesink went head to head with Visconti, and lost.

I like the attempt Gesink is doing today, however it is futile. He is just not good enough. He is a good rider for the 1-week races. I don't get why his team always gives completely unreal expectations at the start of every race Gesink starts. (podium in the Giro, right....)

Would have been 2nd in the Vuelta if he hadn't got a hole in his leg with three stages to go. I think by this point it's more psychological than physical.

Nah, he needs a few % more

The Italian Voeckler, only much less successful.

Snow at teh finish! Epic

Think that leg break also ruined his climbing ability somewhat.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

So Gesink hero of the day and Pirazzi booed by everyone? Normally it's the other way 'round here.

At least di luca had valid excuse.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gesink went head to head with Visconti, and lost.

He clearly didn't went full gas. You do remember how Gesink looks when going full gas right?

 

[SafeBet]

Visconti still looking good. Rabottini not gaining time.

 

[Roderick]

The Italian Voeckler, only much less successful.

Please don't compare a mediocre nobody with a true legend of the sport

Being old is the valid excuse?

 

[Miburo]

The problem with this stage is that nibali still has 3 guys left. And he showed he's the best climber.

His career is a curious case. It's been down hill the last two seasons. He was very much a 'gt' prospect rather then short stage race before then. Now he is probably neither.

 

[trevim]

Being old is the valid excuse?

No but having a teammate up the road is. He should've worked anyway.

 

[SafeBet]

Pirazzi getting booed for what. Weening trolled him on telegraphe top, he can't hope he'll get help now.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Crashed in the descent between Telegraphe and Galibier.

Oh crap!
