what does :fr do?

Anyway, here's what Vebrugghe had to say for BMC's performance.

Finished Strong
BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Rik Verbrugghe said the seeds of victory were planted during three days of intensive preparation and reconnaissance of the course. "We did a lot of time trial training like we did last year in Belgium before the Tour de France," he said. "You need to have strong riders, but everything also has to be perfect. All the small details are important." Verbrugghe said the efforts by Phinney, Alessandro Ballan, and five-time Italian time trial champion Marco Pinotti were particularly important on a technical course that started with a headwind, continued with a tailwind and crosswind and finished with a tailwind. "The last three kilometers those guys did a lot of work and that made the difference," he said. "Phinney did the last 600 or 700 meters by himself. He was really strong." Wednesday's stage is 152 km featuring four categorized climbs, including a summit finish.

Will Basso finish within four minutes of the stage winner?

he would want to or Zam will cry

ram · « **Reply #69 on:** April 18, 2012, 07:26 »

Considering his form, finishing itself would be a monumental improvement. He should be good for the Giro if he finishes this withing 10 minutes of the winner.

It still should be a good stage even if it isn't the most difficult stage. These are tough long climbs!

so did I. It finished nearly 50 minutes earlier than it said it would on steephill.

ZamanAbbaticchio · « **Reply #78 on:** April 18, 2012, 13:36 »

Dont trust steephill always trust velorooms.

He pulled Cunego and then didn't contest the sprint.

Cheers Admin for the vid. Missed it live.

Interesting to see Nico Roche finish with Pinotti and Scarponi with Gadret a further 9 secs back.

I'd believe it if someone told me he had the fastest time up the final climb today.

What happened to Pozzovivo? Why was he not with the leaders? Did he have a mechanical?

I'm pretty sure he just got gapped on the descent. The race went to pieces because it was soaking wet all the way down.
