Who gets first Giro Break win?

[Netserk]

Arredondo has been closest thus far, so I'm glad that I voted for him.

yep, good call. In fact only three of the options have been in a break so far. I know Hansen and Hoogerland have tried without luck.

Rest day II update. Sorry about the long quote.

So we finally got a successful break on the 9th day of racing. Yes, I know a break is unlikely during a TTT unless nature calls. Numbers....

This man

hit the big gear and delivered a beautiful win on a MTF. Malacarne came 2nd and was also part of the original break.

Of course the clown who selected the options in the poll didn't included Weening or Malacarne and therefore the "competition" moves forward.

Next round.... (this is just for housekeeping).

Finally on stage 17, we hit jackpot.

Pirazzi, one of the great escape artists, won from a large break formed after 80km of battle.

Almost 17% or 10 people voted for him (if anyone knows how to get the info on who voted please help, that is if the clown who made the poll selected the public info box in the first place, lol). Only Hansen got more votes.

Of the choices, Hoogerland, Rolland and Sanchez never made or wanted to go into a break before the winner was found.
