'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share Boem looks to be in trouble with cramps as he tries to hold the wheels in the break. He's in trouble though because they won't wait for him.

'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share The record time for the Poggio (3.7km at 3.7%) remains the 5:46 clocked by Giorgio Furlan en route to victory in 1994. Furlan’s win twenty years ago was part of a never-before-nor-since purple patch that also included overall victory at Tirreno-Adriatico and Critérium International, and kick-started a startling run of results from his Gewiss team.

'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share Boem is off the back of the lead group, so we're down to six leaders as the break push on. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/135759-the-classics/page/30/#findComment-2247498 Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share And this race could split up before the final two climbs. The conditions are getting worse, the rain continues to fall and every time the camera pan back all you can see are suffering faces.

'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share The rain continues to pour down and every rider has a cape on now. The bunch is strung out as they head through a roundabout but at this stage the sprinters will be hanging on for dear life because this race could become very, very selective.

'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share The record for the Cipressa (5.6km at 4.1%), meanwhile, is held by Francesco Casagrande, who went up in 9:36 in 2001, when Erik Zabel beat Mario Cipollini in the bunch sprint for the win. Casagrande’s time was one second quicker than Marco Pantani’s on the Cipressa two years earlier.

'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share Barta takes on some food from the team car and then gives his DS a thumbs up, rather more in hope than confidence. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/135759-the-classics/page/30/#findComment-2247513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share Wegelius:Nathan has been caught by the bunch but this doesn’t really change much. Nathan did a good job but from now on the Cipressa is key.
