Strade Bianche 2013, March 2nd, 188 kms 1.1

[postmanhat]

both races will finish before (or ~about the time) Eurosport's coverage is scheduled to start. And there is going to be live snooker and nordic world championships on ES as well - so better be prepared to watch out for a stream for RAI Sport 2...

Thank you! You'd have hoped Eurosport would have worked out the time differences by now

Is this Pellizotti's first race back against the big boys?

He raced Mediterraneen, Camaiore, and Laigueglia. iifc he tried to do something in Camaiore but was dropped the final time up the climb.

 

[manafana]

interesting to see cunego high up in odds, hes done nothing this season so far seems in decline for me dont see him getting involved.

Can Boom deliver been lots of talks for last while that he can do something good.

 

[Sciatic]

It's such a lovely race, even the race brochure is beautiful:

[LaFlorecita]

and pippo

What do you expect el bisonte to do?

Pippo I think could get top 5

I don't think anyone hypes Boom for this race and I don't think anyone should. Toomuch clmbing i think.

Oh, so is he riding really? Make that question x 2!

 

[The Hitch]

And it won't be the last time, or at least I hope.

This year, on 29 September he'll have his finest moment in his career there.

apparently Valverde has gotten on this "marginal gains" boat.

So it will be his second finest moment, after July.

thanks for your thoughts Id have to agree also that the climbing should find him out here. Santambrogio could be a dark horse for the highlighter italian side.

 

[The Hitch]

so what time (central european or gmt) is the race due to finish?

 

[screaming fist]

15.45 CET according to the brochure posted in this thread

Sarah Lund ftw

Eurosport coverage is 15:30-17:00 CET, that should give an idea

I don't think you should gauge by Eurosports' schedule: the race program shows it is scheduled to finish sometime b/t 1530 and 1600, so it seems Eurosport would mostly be showing highlights and the podium ceremony?

Well it looks like Eurosport is giving delayed coverage, other channels seem to end their coverage at 16:00

 

[SafeBet]

Rai's broadcast is scheduled to end at 4pm so yeah the race should end before.

He raced Mediterraneen, Camaiore, and Laigueglia. iifc he tried to do something in Camaiore but was dropped the final time up the climb.

He was actually pulling for reda at the beginning of the final climb. He never really tried anything and it was pretty clear the whole team was working for reda. Hard to understand if he's in good shape.

What do you expect el bisonte to do?

Pippo I think could get top 5

I learnt not to expect much from pippo. It's the best strategy with him.
Gatto is my dark horse.

Blanco are riding for Boom though, according to Nordhaug at least.

Imo both Slagter and Nordhaug are much better candidates. I doubt Boom will survive the hills and even if he does, the final hill is probably too much for him.

..could see some mud..

 

[Ferminal]

What's up with the Gazzetta stream? Official site suggests there will be one but others don't seem to think so.

Is this the making of that wonderful media rights company they signed on with?

 

[thirteen]

excuse me for not going through the entire thread...

can anyone tell me if this will be broadcast in the U.S. and, if so, what channel? (i'm on the west coast and know there's no way i will be up to see it.) thank you in advance.

 

[Pippo_San]

So, good climate today in Siena, temperature around 12°C, should be a great race.

My main favourites: Sagan and Pozzato. I want to believe, and I give the edge to Super Pippo
