BeegMig Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 The Selle Italia service car is cool, or is that a referee's car?. New 3'series estate.But think a Alfa Romeo 159 would be even better : being a The Giro, and the fact that it is the Selle Italia car.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 The bunch has really strung out under the pace from Scinto's men. We're still a long way from the climb as the gap to the break drops and drops
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 Scinto has his team on the front yet again. Yes, they missed the break but they also have Matteo Rabottini within four minutes of the top ten.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 Into the final 50km of action, the gap is ticking down and is now at 6'18.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 Under six minutes and Cunego's shoulders have dropped. He knows that there's little to no chance of making it today.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 Ryder Hesjedal is waiting for his team car and calling through on the radio. It doesnt look like a mechanical, just that he wants to have a catch up.
TALUS Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 This is unfolding perfectly. We are going to see fireworks today. We will see the lightweight climbers do their thing. We will see the human cardiovascular system function at its absolute max in 30min time. This is why Dr Ferrari got involved. It is absolutely fascinating to see these mini gladiators go to the extreme of self inflicted human performance and suffering.
BeegMig Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Glad i'm not the man supposed to make it count on the climb. Those gifappeltjies are gonna be negative tonight after working all day if he doesn't pull it off.
TALUS Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Funny I also call them gifappeltjies. I think they are riding for the TV or favours later on. Today is unlickely to be good for them.
BeegMig Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 What today needs is someone like RobertoLaiseka to come out of nowhere and take the stage from the favorites.
tombeej Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Countdown to the fireworks. 3km to the start of the climb...
BeegMig Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Funny I also call them gifappeltjies. I think they are riding for the TV or favours later on. Today is unlickely to be good for them. Looks like they've run out of steam.At least there's a restday tomorrow,,, earned it. And the worst yet to come.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 Countdown to the fireworks. 3km to the start of the climb... Gonna be intense Look at the pace for positioning :-o
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 Paolini's red Canyon with the 80s look so cool
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 Tinkoff, BMC, Astana, Omega and Movistar, they're all bringing their leaders close to the front of the peloton as we head towards the foot of the climb.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 And it's Movistar who set the pace as we close in on the climb
