giro del trentino stage 2

Got 2345 purist but only 345 standard

Well done Ray!

I had 2,3,4 standard, 2,3,5 purist, but I don't think many of my other riders will have scored, if any.

If Garzelli was in the top 20 I may be in for a full house here

Not good. Hoping Fleche will be better.

1. Siutsu
2. Santambrogio +0.04
3. Nibali +0.19
4. Wiggins +019
5 Pozzovivo +0.28
6 Pirazzi +0.34
7 Aru 0.37
8 Diatschenko 38
9 Rolland +0.45
10 Evans +0.46

i binned siutsou to make way for scarponi

Siutsou from Santambrogio then Wiggo and Nibali coming across together a la TDF with a handshake of respect.

I literally CAN NOT wait till the Giro D'Italia!!!!!

Siutsou holds on, Santambrogio second. Wiggo (4th) impressive, sticks to Nibali all the way, Pozzo fifth and Pirazzi 6th.

Santa and Pozzo going in bursts but Nibali and Wiggo keeping more of a consistent pace.

It'll come from those 5 now

Cadel was also there but going backwards now

Siutsou now has Wiggo,Nibali,Pozzovivo and Santambrogio in pursuit.

Siutsou being chased by Astana plus Pozzovivo,Santambrogio and Wiggo.

Rolland and Pirazzi look cooked.

And Evans - they've just caught Rolland, but Siutsou is leading...

Its now 3 Astana riders, Wiggo, Santambrogio and Pozzovivo I think...

keep the updates coming- stuck at work! thks

Astana looking ominous.....Rolland dangerous out front.

For those not watching - 7km from the finish on the climb, Rolland, Pirazzi and Siutsou have about 20 secs from a group of 20-30 chasers.

Well I've lost a purist in Jonny McEvoy, airlifted after a crash

Forgot to make any transfers so have:
Wiggins
Tiralongo
Pate
Basso
Bouet
Jacek Morajko
Jarlinson Pantano
Francesco Failli
Johann of Zyl

Should be alright, would only have got rid of Pate anyway, maybe Wiggins for Scarponi on a whim.

I think my purists will outscore my standard today
Purist...
Nibali
Scarponi
Pozzovivo
Duarte
Santambrogio
Gatto
Cattaneo
De La Cruz
Pomoshnikov

I've put a good few of the "1a breakers" in and it was the youth competition pts potential that decided it.

Wiggo
His Nibs
Niemiec
Garzelli
Cataldo
Bouet
Cerny
M-Rod(can I call him that with a straight face?)
Moyano

Pozzovivo
Rubiano
Scarponi
Niemiec
Santambrogio
Rebellin
Cerny
Bouet
Rodriguez

Scarponi's the man today.

Gone for

Wiggins
Nibali
Rodriguez
Niemic
Pozzovivo
Pardilla
Pantano
Germany
Canola (my only scorer yesterday!)

Didn't know about Wiggins! But he's probably just joking!

So after yesterdays weird day the peleton better be awake today!
So 3 transfers
Standard

Wiggins
Nibali
Niemiec
Santaromita
Bouet (for Viviani)
Agnoli (for Gatto)
Pate
Cerny (for J Sagan)
Lander

hadnt heard of his comment!
But sky clearly dont care for the GC here, having given 7 min head start to bouet yesterday, and i dont think he's necessarily the man to cross the line first unless he's soloing to the win. also hasnt shown top form yet, which might be the plan, but ive got a feeling he might not be fully there this year. think nibali trumps him today. now watch him beat everyone by a minute!

Sprint
1 Schwarzmann
2 Savini
3 Coledan

My team is pretty bad - could've taken penalty transfers but found it difficult to find anyone obvious to bring in, so kept one or two guys for tomorrow instead. Not good on these Italian races, doesn't bode well for the Giro!

Wiggins (seems to be struggling with saddle sores tho')
Nibali
M Rodriguez and Duarte (gotta love them crazy Columbians)
Pardilla
Santambrogio
Konig
Felline
Lander (kept in the futile hope he'll be last man)

the break has 5 minutes and is Gil Martinez (Androni), Coledan (Bardiani), Gazvoda (Champion System), Schwarzmann (Netapp), Savini (Flaminia)
