'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share It's in the rain where Sagan's supreme bike handling skills can come to the fore, especially the descents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share Nibali continues to push on. He'll look to catch the leaders on the descent and then hit them on the Poggio. Assuming of course he can hold off the bunch but that's a huge ask. The Italian has 30 seconds on the peloton though. That's a decent gap at this stage.

'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share It's no longer Cannondale on the front. I think that's Lotto or Giant doing the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share The questions are how much room with they give the Astana leader and which team will chase him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share 26 seconds between Nibali and the chase. He'll put his descending skills to good use now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share Guys must be kaking a bit for the descents (esp the hairpins at the bottom of the Poggio). Every chance of someones front wheel washing out and taking people down. Makes sense to go out front. True GO SAGAN  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share He's on the descent but so are the bunch. The gap is at 31 seconds now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share What a descender Nibali is..... WOW!!!! He's one is the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share 18.5kms to go..... Can Nibs take it Too far out I reckonBut brave attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share The two leaders look back, and soon they'll see Nibali coming over to them. The wet roads are a factor for everyone. Who has the skills and who will take the risks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share Nibali cant' wait for anyone. With 18km to go he need to bridge up to the two leaders and then attack them on the Poggio and go clear. He can't lose a single second at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share Tjallingii leads, de Maar about 10 meters back, then Nibali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share There's a splinter move with Cancellara, Stybar and Sagan included but that's been shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Share This stop-start action is only going to help Nibali but now Cannondale move up again. The whole race is split by just 48 seconds as de Marchi again sets the pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
