TALUS Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Ryder did win the giro... It's not like it was Griepel was hanging onto the lil' escarabajo's wheel up there!What does escarabajo mean?
T-Bob Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Was a term coined by the early Colombian / Cafe De Colombia pioneers in the european tours. Means 'beetle' and was used by Parra, Herrera, etc. TALUS 1
'Dale Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 A decision has been made and all teams will take the start today, which is a relief. We can expect an official statement from the teams later today.
'Dale Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 Teams are looking for time to be removed from NQHow to is not clear Oi! (If there is enough agreement within the peloton, then this is possible)
'Dale Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 After battling through the snow and freezing conditions yesterday, the peloton have got clear skies and sunshine for today's stage. Perhaps the good weather will go some way to abating the ill-feeling from yesterday.
'Dale Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 !!! There were a few DNFs after yesterday's stage, although it's a surprise that there weren't more considering the conditions. The riders who failed to finish yesterday are Daniele Colli & Mauro Finetto (both Neri Sottoli), Arnaud Courteille (FDJ), Thomas Dekker (Garmin-Sharp), Alessandro Petacchi (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) and Michele Scarponi (Astana)
'Dale Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 And they're off!!! 208 kms of racing160 riders remains Quintana in full pink

Me bad.

Eldron Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 If they do take time off NQ the most they can take is 1:36 - his gap at the bottom of the descent - which still keeps his in pink. Fair enough I reckon given the "hold position and no attacks on descent" communication. So RH almost beat NQ - impressive! What's more impressive is that he outclimbed Evans, UranUran, Pozzi, Kelderman, Majka and all the other GCers. Well impressive!

Me bad. What's fair is fair I dunno how they are going to combat Quintana - he is superiorA bad day might. But he's had them already TALUS 1
