Giro d'Italia - Tappa 12
Well im out all day playing Golf, then going to work, so I thought I'd get this rolling and post my team. Surely today and tomorrow have got to be sprints?
My team is this
Cav (for Nibali)
Viviani
Bouhanni (for Santambrogio)
Gavazzi
Battaglin
Di Luca (for Pirazzi)
Evans
Betancur
Majka
Ok so its not the most sprint heavy team, but should have 3 of the top 5. Then ive kept the GC etc who will score me the most, but also based on price. Evans would score more than Nibali due to points, Betancur and Majka will score the same as Santambrogio and Pirazzi. No sprinter for Vini, so Di Luca is as good a shout as anyone to give it a go, and cheap. Just hope I haven't missed a trick not going Mezgec now Degenkolb is out

Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.

Quite so, which is why our village 20mph zone covers the whole residential extent. Of course, enforcement is another thing..

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

Cheers folks, I thought it might have been a descent. I just don't understand him, he might be feeling like crap, he was losing time, just gun it, if you slide out, then you lose time anyway...
Plane for Wiggins me thinks.....Its embarassing to watch....It should be Dame Bradley Wiggins at the moment as his bollo**s have gone walkabout....
I have an inside tip for tomorrow on who NOT to pick and ditch him......
Who wants it?
'Thanks for your very insightful reply.....I've known he was ill since Sunday '
cool. Answered your own question then.
Already on it
Its going public now....I thought it wouldn't be out until the morning, surprised the released it so soon after the stage
Aye, bit daft really though as he'd be a decent shout for tomorrow.
Think one of the biggest problems for Wiggins today was the fact that the maglia rosa group also had the sprinters' teams in it chasing the break... so Nibali et al just took a tow while OPQS etc did the work, and Sky - a team built for GC, not sprints - were always going to lose time in the last 15k as the break was chased down.
On another day, one where a break was allowed to stay away, he may have got back on. Was never going to happen today though, sadly.
Modolo's tweet -
Quando Mark mi ha portato sulla dx ormai non ne avevo più per passarlo. Bouhanni non è stato scorretto ha solo avuto fegato di passare!!
Once through google translate -
When Mark took me on right now I had no more to pass. Bouhanni was not incorrect liver has only had to go!
Goddamit Mezgec - I stuck with you for so long and NOW you come up with the goods?!
Pff. Cav aside (and Nizzolo in 4th), not a good day, especially plumping for Vivian over Bouhanni.
He thought Bouhanni was not a incorrect liver... God bless google translate.
At the last minute decided to take a penalty and add Mezgec as a rainy sprinter.
They just do not come right often enough do they?
Still leaves me too far behind, maybe I should get a plane home.
Wiggins for the tour!
Hearing Bouhanni's gone home too.
I'm almost getting bored of saying it (not really), so here it is in anagram form;
A pub demigod!
Anyone know why Pantano got 10 points? Didn't follow the stage today.
Colombians
Yay, mezgec finally comes good.....had him all tour so far.......the rule about not picking goes is one I should listen to.....had him in for far too many sprints this year, and he's done next to nothing.....goss can >>>>>>>>>>>>
Did Avila not get the lantern rouge?????
I'm hoping it's a mistake and it should have gone to Avila for coming last.
FDJ confirm Bouhanni left race
Italian's use liver as a metaphor for bravery. He is saying that Bouhanni did nothing wrong he was just brave enough to go
What did say about Mezgec!
Bouhanni has gone? booted out or what?
I was Gavazzi away from 2 full houses on the same day
