Tirreno-Adriatico stage 5: Chieti - Colmurano, 234 km

[Bala Verde]

The peloton is certainly bigger than 30...

 

[Cosette]

All the big names.. That includes Vaugrenard, right?

(Sorry, have to ask, as I'm currently in the process of finding a stream that works...)

 

[Bala Verde]

It's lonely here and I feel like I am talking to myself.

Gasparotto attacks the peloton and tries to bridge to Oroz Ugalde.

And we are live.. A shame I don't speak Italian though....

Hmm.. The weather looks good, at the very least...

Commentators mentioned it was still cold though, snow near the mountain tops. The sun is shining, so that's an improvement.

Ugalde has half a minute on the Group Maglia Azzura, and Gasparotto is somewhere halfway inbetween...

That's a shame, but it still looks good.

Gasparotto appears to be able to bridge the gap to Ugalde. Fast...

Traitors.
Then again, it's not all that surprising.. They were already showing langlaufing (it think, either that or biathlon) earlier today.

Two leaders.
Gasparotta has reached Ugalde.

 

[Cosette]

I do love the timing of the Italians. I was just wondering about the gap when they put it on screen...
It is 36 seconds by the way...

 

[Bala Verde]

12km to go....

[Cosette]

The Rai Tre feed works at least.

Latest reported gap is 40 seconds...

 

[Bala Verde]

anyone knows the gap ?

36-40s ........

 

[python]

36-40s ........

thanx. i just saw them go under 10k... looks like the gap is not big enough.

a couple of pages back I posted a list with pages with feeds.

gap grew to 48s.

Question: Are the names of the rides in the Maglia Azzurra group known?
Either Vaugrenard is missing, or I need a pair of glasses...

 

[Tyke1968]

YES a skier fell over!

Should be a good finish in the real sport and i do have an Italian live feed thanks to the links on here.

But the gap appears to be growing instead of decreasing though...

they didn't mention specific names, besides Evans, Scarponi, Gesink, Langeveld and perhaps a few others. Haven't heard about Vaugrenard.

 

[Bala Verde]

back to 32s....

Thanks, wil have to keep a look out then.

I also think I saw a Caisse rider in a white jersey.. That would be Uran then...
