Haig cracked. Can Brown hang on until the false flat at the top?

 

[Rollthedice]

Kuss left Haig. He's having fun.

What a monster this guy is.

No he can’t. Kuss destroys them again.

Pantani 1999 Giro

 

[RedheadDane]

Sepp Kuss is on fire!

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Whoa. Kuss just flying now. Looks ready for the Vuelta.

May be raining on the descent. Finish line is wet. Common to see rain on one side of the mountain, but clear on the other.

 

[Rollthedice]

Ha, ha! Brown standing still, Kuss the rocket man.

 

[Lequack]

Reminiscent of Contador as well.

Raining at the finish, that descent could be tricky

Re:

This is a super fast descent. Almost hit 60mph on a mountain bike before I had to brake for the cars in front of me.
Geez, I mean Kuss is making this look like a training ride.

 

[Valv.Piti]

People told Pantani to stop winning at will in 1999. It was getting too boring and predictable, people were mad and there was no reason to humiliate the opposition day in, day out. But Pantani told the reports that you gotta strike when the iron is hot.

Gotta love that attitude!

Carthy is rescuing EF Drapac's ToU. Looks like he and Haig could move on the podium.

Thanks. Shouldn’t be a problem then.

Right, it's not super technical.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Haig has passed Carthy?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

No reason to take risks here.

 

[RedheadDane]

Bookwalter?! Where the *** did he come from? :surprised:

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Now uphill drag on main street Park City. Kuss absolutely brilliant.

Who can beat him in the Colorado classic with this form.

Not doing Colorado. Team decided he is going to Vuelta. Should be interesting.

Nice. He will join George Bennet and Steven Kruijswik, a formidable trio. Bennet was top 10 in the Giro I think and Kruijswik top 5 in the Tour. Although apparently Bennet is the sole leader they say, unlike in the Tour where they went with two GC guys.

Free Kuss!

Chapeau Sepp Kuss! Impressive climbing.

Hope Lotto don't burn him out - 3 weeks of the Vuelta is a whole other kettle of fish!

Sepp posted this, if wants a signed jersey, apparently it's to help Adrien Costa:
