2012 Giro d’Italia – Stage 11

Final Kilometers

Photos

: Joaquin Rodriguez signs in wearing the maglia rosa after winning it from Hesjedal on yesterday’s hilltop finish in Assisi

: Goss starts the day as the leader of the points competition jersey (Maglia Rossa) but Cavendish finishes 8 points ahead by the end of the stage

: There’s no doubt that Basso is still extremely popular in Italy. Dozens of photos of him are shot every day

: Trofeo Senza Fine – the trophy without end

: The riders start in the historic town of Assisi, the same as yesterday’s finish

: Is Phinney having good luck or bad luck this Giro? I can’t quite decide…

: By the look of those trees in the background the bunch had a roaring tailwind

: The break group got an early start but never got more than a 5 minute gap. At approximately 30km remaining they were swollowed by the chasing peloton. In the group was Olivier Kaisen (Lotto Belisol), Adrian Saez (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Simone Ponzi (Astana), Stefan Denifl (Vacansoleil-DCM), Manuele Boaro (Saxo Bank) and Mickaël Delage (FDJ-BigMat).

: Roberto Ferrari, the same man who took out Cavendish on stage 3 took out today’s sprint. Behind was Francesco Chicchi (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) and Tomas Vaitkus (GreenEdge). Geraint Thomas, who was leading out Cavendish, seemed to come into the final corner too hot and unclipped which threw off Cavendish which resulted in him finishing 4th

Stage 12 Preview

Stage 12 is a medium mountain stage with four categorised climbs before a technical 11km descent to the finish. A great day for a break to succeed!

  It sounds like he hasn’t recovered well after the crash a couple days ago

Whats the story with Phinney, no RD on his bike by the looks of things….He hasnt seemed to have a lot of luck with mechanicals etc…
- Michal
  
  Is that di2?
- jules
  
  how do you lose a RD? it’s tethered by the chain threaded through the pulley cage. maybe he’s a magician
Tim

Might be me, but Basso is looking fit.

Is there a reason Goss hasn’t been contesting intermediate points? Like he just let Cav trundle up for 2 pts the other night.
Tim David

That’s a good question Andy / Jules – I’m thinking rear mech goes into spokes, spokes rip off mech (mech hanger snaps, di2 cable disconnects) and at the same time fracture the pulley cage enough for lower jockey wheel to pop off. Rear Mech then drops off bike.
- Jordan Gibbons
  
  If you look closely you can see his rear mech nicely nestled under his front chain rings- which is my preferred place for it. The ‘rear’ part of rear derailleur is vastly over rated.

    Looks like his other pedal tbh…

TDF vs Giro……..I think the Giro podium women are leading just at the moment.

  i might be biased as i’m part italian but i’m most impressed with the Giro women this year. also italy is more progressive than other countries as their beauties get elected into parliament (joke).

  also in the art of lipsticking the winners cheeks…. it seems to be a Giro trademark.

It could just be the photo angle and the camber of the road, but is that really Phinney’s bike. Looks a little small!
- KU
  
  It’s a 51cm 650c bike.

Cali podiumgirls may be nice, but the girls of the Giro are better: http://youtu.be/UnByeC67GDo

Getting a lot of respect for Phinney. Not just his riding but his attitude to the whole thing: he clearly just loves riding and racing, and also seems to maintain a sense of humour. Could do with more like him down at the local club crits!
Five-55

Phinney is taking the whole single speed / fixie thing a bit far isn’t he?????
