That is the most likely outcome, but I can always hope.Eldrack said:I think the GC contenders will run the break down and try and get a stage win.
Think Ricco is going to pull a Cunego on Gibo?Andrija said:I hope Savoldelli wil make up lost time to Di Luca, but I'm not sure how realistic is that.
And about breakaway... To dangerous in this phase of the race. It will be caught, probably, on final climb.
Winner could be Cunego, Gibo and pay special attention on Ricco after that stage 8 mess.
So, I'm saying Ricco.
I think they'll try, but won't be able to shake off of Cunego (Ricco could launch few lead out attacks but Cunego will follow), then they could try with 1 - 2 attack in final km. where Ricco is 2 'cause of better sprinting.Smilf said:Think Ricco is going to pull a Cunego on Gibo?
I'm not sure about Cunego, it appears he is really focusing on the third week. Maybe his plan is to win the Giro with the last two big mountain stages and the final ITT.lwedge said:I think Simoni takes this stage.

Ricco will be seething having to abandon the break in stage 9, then his DS had a go at him for not consulting him before he dropped back to the peloton...he'll have extra motivation in stage 10.Bro Deal said:The course looks good for a break. It would need enough time to hold off the contenders on the final climb.
I think I will go for Perez.
I think this stage could go to Cunego. But right there will be all the others, there will be no big separations. However we should be able to see who cannot win the giro. Also with possibility for this stage in my opinion are DiLuca, Garzelli, and Ricco.Walrus said:Ricco will be seething having to abandon the break in stage 9, then his DS had a go at him for not consulting him before he dropped back to the peloton...he'll have extra motivation in stage 10.
Yes, that's what he said in some interview few days ago. He'll try to build up solid advantage on first two mountain top finishes and then just to try to keep that advantage in third week. I'm not sure if this is enough, maybe after TT he'll have bigger advantage, but what really interests me is if he burned too many matches too early. That first attack today was so miscalculated.Bro Deal said:Di Luca must want to gain as much time as possible before the big mountains.
Eldrack said:Good stage today. Pancake flat one tomorrow (or at least there's no catagorised climbs) then the **** will hit the fan on thursday with two real sized mountains.
Looks like there's going to be a fight for every place in the top 10 this year, so many quality riders around.

Me too. Simoni is looking strong. Cunego on the other hand I am not so sure of.limerickman said:Looking forward to Thursday.
I think Gibo is too.
