Contador turned around and pleaded with Sella to assist him chase.....

Doesn't look like he is helping that much though.

Fark Ricco has over 1 minute and Di Luca almost 3 minutes !

 

[Powerful Pete]

Has Riccò opened a real gap? How is Contador faring?

Ricco climbing in the drops, remeniscent of Pantani in style and grinta.

 

[Powerful Pete]

If Contador loses a bit more time Riccò might get the jersey?

Has Riccò opened a real gap? How is Contador faring?

Contador is at the back of his group and not doing any work..... Di Luca got 3rd I think... so an extra 8 seconds.... yes RICCO has a big gap...... 1.47... last reported gap....

 

[TheDarkLord]

Di Luca finished 4:36 behind Kiryienka. Ricco has a nice gap; dunno what the exact gap is though.

 

[TheDarkLord]

Ricco finished at 5:45 behind. He sprinted to the finish to put in as much time as possible over Contadope! Good stuff!

I don't think Ricco got it, off by a few seconds.

tomorrow - kaboom

 

[TheDarkLord]

Simoni has lost a lot of time.

 

[whiteboytrash]

Nope. Contador in pink by 4 seconds over Ricco and 21 over Di Luca.....

 

[Powerful Pete]

Contador keeps the jersey by four seconds...

 

[TheDarkLord]

Ricco 4 sec off, DiLuca 21 sec off. No wonder Ricco was ******.

 

[Eldrack]

4 seconds I think that Contador keeps pink by, Di Luca is very close as well. Simoni got hammered today, very bad day for him. Maybe he'll go on the attack tomorrow?

 

[Klodifan]

Yay! Fantastic racing today, finally!

 

[limerickman]

Excellent stage (I haven't seen it yet folks).
Thanks for those updates.

Well done DiLuca and Ricco :


again the Giro brings the excitment that has been missing at the TDF and to a lesser extent the Vuelta in recent years.

 

[Powerful Pete]

Well, tomorrow Gavia-Mortirolo-Aprica. Finish is downhill, but they will have to go for broke. Should be an exciting stage!

It should be fun. Sure hope that old man Simoni throws the hammer down.
