Wez-O Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 I'm not going to rule Quintana out just yet.It would be nice for him to get the time back and give us a grandstand finish to the tour...
meathead Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Scarponi costing me dearly. Me too, luckly my secret budget weapon Duarte came through for me. Edited May 26, 2014 by Meathead
jcza Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 It would be nice for him to get the time back and give us a grandstand finish to the tour... If Uran is isolated and Quintana is patient then we could be in for the grandstand finish.
meathead Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 There has been plenty excitement and I sure the columbians will give us lots more

tombeej Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Rumour...please note RUMOUR only on twitter Road to Passo Tonale gets cleaned - for a route change around Gavia & Stelvio If true, what a big disappointment. Really, 2 years in a row now. Dammit. It's one of the few days in cycling that for me cause everything else to be put on hold. Others are Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, LBJ, an ITT up Alpe d'Huez, a mountaintop finish on the Galibier, Tourmalet or Ventoux, and world champs. Actually, a snowy Gavia & Stelvio in the Giro might just surpass them all for me TBH. Not much captures the imagination like those two. But it does soften the blow a little re. having to cancel my leave for tomorrow. Edited May 26, 2014 by tombeej
tombeej Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Now that I've dried my tears, blown my nose and taken a dose of HTFU, I think it's time for a bit of a celebration of the mountains... and the Gavia and Stelvio in particular. I'll start with this image. Brooding and powerful. The way the patch of sunlight spots the lone rider halfway up the last section of switchbacks on the Stelvio - very theatrical. ScottCM and jcza 2
