Tirreno-Adriatico Stage 6: Ussita - Macerata - 178km. Last Chance

[Mellow Velo]

Punctures a major problem with all the scrapping going on, for the front of the bunch before hitting these climbs.
Oh look, another Eurosport ad break.

Andy Schleck getting ready?

He must have spotted an open bar on the circuit.

Yo, Bert and Borut. That's a no parking zone.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Group Compactedified!

Poor Cadel, looking very nervous.

So how certain is the Giro. Didnt riis say he might not do it?

Riis said in an interview that it was always the plan that Conti should race the giro, but that they had doubts due to the hardness of the course. These doubts seems to be centered around which guys to bring along, because Riis mentioned that they were afraid that Conti would have to do all the work himself in the Giro. But apparently it is now decided that he will participate in both, and (this wasnt said directly) they got some idea of who should be on the teams for it to be viable.

Rats. Backsted tipped Cunego. Another time then Damiano.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Cunego back up front after a flat.

 

[auscyclefan94]

cadel looks isolated...

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Gesink in about 20th spot. not good.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Lol. Lampre confused at the intermediate sprint, they didn't know that was the line.

 

[The Hitch]

Niemiec playing superdom of course.

Niemiec puts on some serious hurt and who went backwards instead of forwards?
Old man Garzelli looks up for today.

 

[Ferminal]

Cuddles too far back... either struggling or conserving, I'm going with the former.

Basso FTW.

 

[The Sheep]

Poels going to take Gesinks white?

 

[auscyclefan94]

or isolated, Ferminal?

 

[woodie]

It's thinned out a bit, good to see Cadel still has some helpers.
