'Dale Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Another Garmin rider in pink. Vaughters will be happy. Impressive late surge by Scarponi. Basso 40 secs down from Maglia Rosa. This Giro is hotting up.
'Dale Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 schleck in 3rd shame lol, He might surprise during this Giro, Cav.A very classy rider with tons of experience.
Cav' Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 He might surprise during this Giro, Cav.A very classy rider with tons of experience.Yeah i know, was just pulling your chain lol
GrumpyOldGuy Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Go Scarpoooooooooni.! Tiralongo wont win the giro, but Scarponi can, all that matters is he took 20 odd seconds from all his rivals with physical time and bonus seconds. Surprised Katusha didnt try much, Rodriguez is a very "iffy" rider, when he is good he is magnificent, but otherwise he is not too remarkable. Rujano looked good as well, had no trouble responding to everything.
GrumpyOldGuy Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Cat 2 at km 224.6, 9.9 km @ 6.0% gradient to 1087m elevation, to Lago Laceno Yeah, we should start to see a pattern emerging soon, yesterday everyone in contention was present and correct but apart from Scarponi, no-one tried anything of note. I think Androni will try something today, they have so many cards to play in Rujano, Sella, Serpa Perez even Chavez again. The team is thick with tiny climbers who could all be stage contenders for today.
Cal Naughton Jr. Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 After Hesjedal narrowly missed out on the Maglia Rosa on stage 6 (if I'm correct) Cippolini was quoted as saying,"English directeur sportifs are good at everything except being directeur sportifs."I wonder what he said after yesterday...
'Dale Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Basso admits he could not follow Scarponi as the finish was not his favourite technical course. Clever racing by Scarponi yesterday to get a 2nd place time bonus. Edited May 13, 2012 by Puncheur
'Dale Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 1st Canadian in pink, Hesjedal, clinging onto pink in the final 8 kms...
'Dale Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Scarponi just trailing Basso's wheel, who is following his teammates.
'Dale Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 GOG, I read Cunego has lead legs and is going backwards now...
'Dale Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Another breakaway clinches a win, Pozzovivo from Colnago CSF Inox. Luv it!

TNT1 Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 The pink jersey remains with Hesjedal but Rodriguez closes to within 9 seconds and Pozzovivo is within a minute of the lead too, just behind Scarponi in GC.
'Dale Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Nice fightback by Hesjedal to keep the pink jersey.It wasn't looking too good at some point.
