Tirreno - Adriatico Stage 5, Ortona -> Chieti, 230 kms (10/03/2013)

[jaylew]

That gradient is JRod's speciality.

Sure, but it was a perfect opportunity if he could have. Froome was on front and AC was right on Jrods wheel and could see it happening, just didn't/couldn't go with it.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Kreuziger was very strong today. When he and Berto attacked the sky train vanished. Now instead of Alberto it must be Jesus or Roche and then Berto can go mano a mano with Froome

 

[Publicus]

I suspect Contador will keep the pressure on Froome tomorrow.

 

[Miburo]

The race is between Froome and Kjatowski ?? (the polish guy from Omega)

there was clearly a gap between contador and mollema and the other group

2 seconds

 

[jaylew]

Anyone see Evans today

 

[LaFlorecita]

No, Froome is 20s ahead of Berto and Nibbles

 

[Lexman]

don't think so
1. Froome
2. Contador 20s
Nibali 20 s
4. Kwiatkowski

what happened to Evans? old age showing?

 

[airstream]

Kwiatkowski can easily kick away Contador or Nibali from the podium in TT

 

[Jelantik]

I guess when it's mano a mano, it shows huh? Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea to hang with sky train for a while and launch one ferocious attack at the end. (at least a win would have a greater chance than attacking relentlessly?) Purito as usual impressive in the steep climb. What's that all about with Froome suddenly blocking the acceleration of Kreuziger????

 

[BillytheKid]

Horner over Froome in the ITT.

That'll be funny, LOL.

Will be a lot of crocodile tears around there, baw, wah!

Lol exactly Organizers are sky fans

 

[pastronef]

well done for Purito, even if I'd have loved a win for Mollema.
but anyway at least Sagan did not win

Kreuziger accelerated, Froome went with him and pulled ahead in front of him and contador and then slowed down.

 

[Forunculo]

No, Froome is 20s ahead of Berto and Nibbles

That was the stage classification

 

[SafeBet]

I hope so, LOL.

Kwiat can beat both berto and nibbles in the itt. But he needs to survive to.orrow which is no easy task.

[LaFlorecita]

I already know what Berto will tweet, "tomorrow more"

 

[BillytheKid]

Kreuziger accelerated, Froome went with him and pulled ahead in front of him and contador and then slowed down.

He flicked with his bike out Horner on the final sharp left.

 

[LaFlorecita]

That was the stage classification

My point is - no one is gonna take 20s on froome

 

[Cyivel]

That was the stage classification

They got some teams mixed up on the graphic

 

[wwabbit]

Kwiatkowski can easily kick away Contador or Nibali from the podium in TT

Contador is ahead of Nibali in milliseconds, so Kwaitkowski is likely to pip Nibali for the podium

 

[LaFlorecita]

The problem with those 2 seconds between Berto and Froome is Horner and Santambrogio in between them

 

[Afrank]

He flicked with his bike out Horner on the final sharp left.

Didn't notice that one, wow, Froome is just making all kinds of friends in the peloton isn't he. he needs to learn how to race with respect for your opponents.
