2009 Giro : stage 14 :Saturday, May 23 :Campi Bisenzio - Bologna (San Luca) 172 kms - Page 2

Tour de France next year, i'll watch out for Gerrans doing that!!! LOL!!! Thanx for the break update though TREV S

Deignan's having a good tour.

That breakaway group should be stronger enough to stay away.
I would reckon that Rabo and LPR will sit there and watch each other.

Yep the break will survive.

Visconti or Grivko are my main two selections here on in. Gerrans is the other danger. Don't rate the rest a chance of winning.

Yeah Visconti's going well in this Giro.

he could well be da man for today.

Hope that breakaway group survives.

Lovely weather again today in Italia.

My sisters in Bergamo and she's saying it's 28 degrees today.

I'm hoping Grivko is the man today! He has been desperate aswell as Visconti.


My tip of Bertolini will have to come tomorrow!

The break will be caught. Someone will probably counter attack or Di Luca will do what he does best and look strong and win.

Gap is 1.40ish.

No comment on your stuff up Grater, ...... to good for that I spose!!!, the break might be caught, I hope not, I do think Diluca will be strong....not sure who could match him for pure acceleration up hill.........wait maybe I can but he's holding out fot the tour de france......Contador....it's almost depressing....I realy hope Astana dont win the Giro or the Tour de France

The commentators - as the pictures also show - are saying that the riders are taking on a lot of liquid.
It looks really really warm in Italia today.

Gap is 2"30.

I think this group will stay away (at least I hope it will).

Love the Giro.

There a great chance now....if it was flat almost a sure thing, but with the uphill finish there's a chance of being caught.....question is who will win.....breakaway or not?????

Love your quote by the way, wouldn't matter who wrote it, it's the way it should be, it'd be great if the sinics went away and we could all enjoy the cycling for what it's worth... one of the great sports to watch and one with an even greater history

This final 2km climb looks to be a real killer.

Gerrans looking good : Froome looks to be struggling.
