Tirreno-Adriatico: Stage 2, Carrara-Indicatore, 202km

[nvpacchi]

Two climbs on tap today, shouldn't cause any problems, San Casciano Val di Pesa (5,3km at 4,3%) and Poggio alla Croce (4,2km at 6,5%)

Final 7.5 kilometers

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Hopefully some of the other teams can hold off HTC.
Cav should be favorite tho.

 

[Moncoutie]

Now we just need to find Tirreno Adriatico's version of De Gendt to spoil it for all of them

Any takers? Is it time for Txurruka to go insane?

I think that Visconti will try to ruin the sprint festival
With all those teams interested in a bunch sprint I can't see Amets taking 1 stage

 

[nvpacchi]

Sadly ur right, but one can dream :sigh:

 

[Squire]

Now we just need to find Tirreno Adriatico's version of De Gendt to spoil it for all of them

I would so love it if someone stole the win from the sprinters tomorrow

Throw in Lorenzetto, Napolitano, Paolini & Mondory on your list as well. Just because

 

[luckyboy]

If anyone's going to steal it, then hopefully Txurruka. But otherwise Cav.

Got to get my CQ going

 

[joy118118]

Just take a look to this list:
Das Panzerwagen (Noooo... I dont like "Gorila").


Panzerwagen is tony martin and he is in PN. Dont know Greipel is also called as Panzerwagen


 

[Ferminal]

I think that Visconti will try to ruin the sprint festival

Visconti will win stage 5, no problems, think it will be a bit hard to spoil the big boys on stage 2 and 3 though I'm going for Ale too...

jawohl.
ummm... I know his past his prime, but doesn't O'Grady count?

 

[Christian]

It looks like Indicatore/Arezzo is Bennati's hometown ... maybe this will motivate him to go the extra inch

 

[Ferminal]

jawohl.
ummm... I know his past his prime, but doesn't O'Grady count?

He doesn't have the speed to lead someone out in the final 500m anymore let alone get a top10

 

[Jamsque]

Has to be Cav.

Greipel is out.
Boonen sick (flu).

 

[Eric8-A]

I was really hoping to see Greipel in the sprints given the quality of the field, but it seems that due to his crash, it won't be happening or he won't be as good.

Other choice? Petacchi

Tyler will most likely be out of the top 5

Can Bennati finally catch a break in Tirreno?

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

He won't even start/

 

[Ram5469]

Oscar Freire??

 

[Roland Rat]

Cav. And a day to concentrate on Paris-Nice.

 

[Jamsque]

Oscar Freire??

Old and slow.

He'll be in the mix, but there are probably too many other young speedy maniacs for him to win. He'll have a better chance on stage 5.

 

[Captain_Cavman]

Cavendish got tailed off on the TTT. I don't know why but it's not a great sign.

Bennati ftw.

 

[El Pistolero]

Tom Boonen is sick by the way. Had 39 degrees fever on sunday.

 

[theyoungest]

Cavendish got tailed off on the TTT. I don't know why but it's not a great sign.

Bennati ftw.

Cav seemed to do a strong pull right at the end. But you'd expect him to want to take the leader's jersey at some point, so yes it's a bit strange he let go in the final meters.
