Giro d' Italia 2014

['Dale]

Rolland has begun to distance Pirazzi as they near the top of the penultimate climb. Pirazzi has been out for a long time today.

['Dale]

Scarponi's GC chances dented

Being dropped today and far from the high mountains

 

Sorry, GOG

 

Must be injuries from the crash?

['Dale]

It looks like Pirazzi's time oput front is done, there is now a pretty large gap between himself and Rolland.

['Dale]

BMC have moved off the front and have been replaced AG2R and Vuillermoz once again.

['Dale]

Shot show Michael Matthews at the front of the gruppetto, he has lost 15 minutes.

Tiralongo would have been the natural choice to take over for Astana, but he also lost big time in the mayhem on stage 6.

 

GO ARRADONDO!!

[Cav']

Going to be a good finish, bring on some attacks!

['Dale]

 

The gap between Arredondo keeps bouncing around but the Frenchman has cut it down to 35 seconds now. This could be a close call for the stage victory.

['Dale]

4 kms to go

 

Only the duo ahead now

What a chase!!

[Cav']

Rolland ftw for me..

['Dale]

Arredondo grimacing now as he hits the steeper parts

 

22 secs hey

3.5 kms to go

[tombeej]

Arredondo has blown. Rolland will take it.

[T-Bob]

Arredondo suffering, Rolland looking less than fluid as well. What happened to Scarponi?

[Cav']

17" !!

['Dale]

Arredondo has blown. Rolland will take it.
