Giro d'Italia - Stage 14
SportingNonsense
The mountains are nearly upon us once again, but first comes the final hilly stage of the race. 6 categorised climbs make up the road between Codogno and Casteggio. With the final climb 21km from the finish, a peloton which expects Wikipedia to do all the work, and a Wikipedia team who don't need to do any work - this stage has breakaway screaming all over it. And with the King of the Mountains classification so close, if someone who has scored already can infiltrate the breakaway, it could be a very lucrative day for them.

Surprise surprise, there are attacks from the start.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/codeggio-2.jpg

19 riders are included across the initial waves of attacks:

17th overall Thomas Faiers is an interesting involvement in the move of 8 that leads as the intermediate sprint arrives - i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/wig_zps5dbe18f9.png Teodoro Costagli taking the 6 points and bonus seconds, for all that that is worth at this stage.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/codeggio-3.jpg

But still the peloton are close behind and this group are not going to be able to stay clear longer into the stage.

The next attack involves 10 riders, and this time the breakaway has been formed.

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Pokerstars.png John Degenkolb

This time the standout rider in the move is i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/mil_zpsb1abc362.png Leopold König. He is the best placed at 20th overall, already has a 2nd place stage finish in the race, and is just 7 points off the lead in the King of the Mountains competition.

There is 10 on offer at the top of the first climb, and so for the first time since Stage 8, we will have a change of leadership of the Blue KoM jersey!

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/codeggio-6.jpg

These climbs are notable for two failures by Konig - who attacked early for both, and then relaxed - only to then find himself overtaken by others who simply relayed back up to him and past.

Onto the descent and as we already move into the final 60km of the stage, their lead is up to 9 minutes and looking quite promising. Degenkolb, Marentes and Fouquet have also successfully manage to catch them up again.

Crash in the peloton!

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/codeggio-7.jpg

It's triple stage winner i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/puma.png Daniele Bennati!

Stage winner i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/pearl.png Jocelin Maillet also goes down in a separate incident.

Back to the break and Konig finally wins another climb.

But yet another crash over the top, as veteran i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/srl_zps5f456879.png Mauro Facci is next to get a feel of the tarmac.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/codeggio-8.jpg

As the peloton climbed up Monte Albertini-Pizzofreddo, i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/puma.png Puma-Sap tried to bring Bennati back into contact. 5 riders were sent back to support Bennati, with Maillet in the group aswell. Nuyens remained in the peloton, while Bol is in the breakaway and Minard is further behind on the road after an earlier puncture.

They come close to regaining contact but there are concerns about i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/puma.png Bennati's potential injuries as he laboured on the wheel of Kvist at the back of the group. They didnt quite join up, and the chance was gone - the gap opening up on the descent, the peloton won't be seen again.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/codeggio-9.jpg

Climb number 5, and another win for Konig.

The stage win is definately going to the breakaway today, which is gutting for i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/srl_zps5f456879.png Mauro Facci. He has a decent sprint on him, but hasnt recovered after his crash, and trails the group by 3 minutes.

Clearly the best sprinter in there is i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Pokerstars.png John Degenkolb, but i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/cal_zpsd3e3d363.png Taylor Tolleson also has a fast finish on him. The American won 3 times last season as he helped Heineken-California Giant on the way to promotion.

The break pass through the final climb of the day, and Konig messes up to again miss maximum points. Still, he has built up an 18 point lead in the King of the Mountains competition which is a good reward for a day's work - and more could still be to come in terms of GC gains and a stage position!

i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/kng_zpsafcfbe9d.png Kevin Fouquet was distanced on the climb and crucially, just as they reached the summit, so was i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Pokerstars.png John Degenkolb!

And with this being the final hill, it almost seemed as if the peloton were going to do nothing today. Wrong.

i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/fes_zpsd43e76fa.png Diego Ulissi is the spark to light the bonfire, as i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/kng_zpsafcfbe9d.png Yuri Trofimov, i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/lot_zps2971ec30.png Dimitri Claeys and i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/ubs_zpsaf43a720.png Vincenzo Nibali set off in pursuit.

Spotting the danger, i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/akm_zps175d5d7c.png Simon Spilak then scrambles across.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/codeggio-13.jpg

There's then a pause before further moves from i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/mil_zpsb1abc362.png Sergio Luis Henao Montoya, i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/pearl.png Romain Sicard, i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/srl_zps5f456879.png Emanuele Sella, i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/fes_zpsd43e76fa.png Markus Fothen and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/bo.png Nico Keinath - but they've let the gap go.

Here are the gaps amongst them as they end the climb and go into the descent.

A powerful trio in the 'lead' could really help Trofimov - as not for the first time there is suggestions of a poor Festina relationship between Ulissi and Fothen, as the Italian rides against his team leader. Hills are Fothen's one slight weakness compared to his GC rivals, and this is being exploited again today.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/codeggio-14.jpg

The breakaway are entering the final 10km, and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Pokerstars.png Degenkolb is fighting hard to catch up. Naturally the rest of the break don't want to see him back, and now i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/mil_zpsb1abc362.png König launches an attempt for solo glory!

i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/pro_zpsc5cfa503.png Velits are leading the peloton. They trail the Phinney group by 1'20 - which shows they are reducing that gap - and they still have over 10km left to close it down further.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/codeggio-18.jpg

In the breakaway, i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/mil_zpsb1abc362.png König tried yet another move but is caught.

A perfect position for Tolleson maybe - but dangerman Degenkolb has finally made contact again.

It is quickly clear that i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Pokerstars.png John Degenkolb has given too much energy to make it back to the front group and he immediately struggles - as does i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/mil_zpsb1abc362.png Leopold König who is further behind him already.

Sicard and Sella would have lost time for sure, but i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/srl_zps5f456879.png Mauro Facci has managed to put himself in the middle of that group - perhaps through tiredness rather than choice, but it could be crucial for his team leader, as we await official gap information.

Behind the S-duo, i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/kng_zpsafcfbe9d.png Santo Anza, i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/wig_zps5dbe18f9.png Damiano Caruso and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/vesuvio.png Maciej Paterski lead in the peloton.

And controversially, NO gaps have been awarded. Ulissi's time of 4'54 behind Tolleson will count for all riders in the peloton behind him. A lucky escape for some!

Meanwhile, those near 5 minutes gained lift i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/mil_zpsb1abc362.png Leopold König up 9 places to 11th overall - now making him the best placed Milka rider. It also reduces Wikipedia's teams classification lead over Milka.

The peloton had been reduced to just 61 at the finish, the rest of the field - including Bennati - trailling in some time later. Once again there have been 198 starters and 198 finishers.
