'Dale Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Androni haven't left the front of the peloton for the last 40km. They've brought the gap down to 2:15, but will they have the energy to do anything if they do manage to close it down?
jcza Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Very good questionUran who is closer can climb too and he's looking solid Maybe I'm underestimating Uran but I think it will be a straight fight between Evans and Quintana

'Dale Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 We've just had an update from Garmin-Sharp on the condition of Fabian Wegmann. It sounds like a horrific set of injuries for the German. "Fabian Wegmann suffered a complete tear of the hamstrings in his left leg during today's Giro stage. He underwent imaging at a local hospital and team medical staff is currently arranging an orthopedic surgical follow up for him in Germany, close to his home. "
'Dale Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Who's Evans? Good for androni. Maybe you know him only as Cuddles or The Chin Jakkals. 1

'Dale Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Deignan has made it back to the group of leaders as the advantage falls to 1:46
'Dale Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 The peloton is in one long line now and the gap to the escapees has been sliced down to 1:10. Their chances are getting slimmer by the pedal stroke.
'Dale Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Belkin, BMC and Omega Pharma-QuickStep are all on the front now. The front of the peloton has become two distinct trains.
'Dale Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Despite the efforts of Bardiani in the breakaway, the gap has come down to a lone minute.
'Dale Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Fireworks soon as the final climb, 8 kms at 8% is approached 35 to go
