Pity! Would be great to see George win a stage Smile
 
tsmoha
6th overall for Lance is still not that bad.. And yes, interesting stage and nice reading Smile

@Batista15
I agree, I think it is great if the national champ can win a race/stage in his home country. Maybe George had to attack a bit more, it was the only time we saw him in front.

@tsmoha
Thank you Smile Well, Lance tried an attack, but Contador closed the gap and fall back then. I would call that a "kamikaze mission"... At least, Lance was able to finish before Contador, that is a great motivation for the Tour de France. He is not unbeatable Wink

Giro d'Italia
Stage 15: Mestre - Zoncolan, 218,3 km
img576.imageshack.us/img576/9574/giroditaliaprofiles15.jpg
There are many hard mountain stage at the Giro d'Italia 2010, but I think I am not wrong if I would say that the fifteenth stage is the hardest one. Before the rider reach the final climb, the Monte Zoncolan (10,1 km; 11,9%), which was already part of the Giro 2003 and 2007 (both Zoncolan-stages won Gilberto Simoni), they have already three hard climbs in the legs, the Sella Chianzutan (10,65 km; 5,4%), the Passo Duron (4,45 km; 9,5%) and the Sella Valcalda (4,95 km; 7,2%). Only a really good climber can win here (in real life, it was Basso). If we still hold the leader jersey after this stage, then I am convinced that we have a real chance to win the Giro d'Italia.

Team goals:
- No time loss / Gain time if possible ( Defend the leader jersey (Leipheimer)
- No time loss / Help Levi in critical situations (Paulinho, Machado)

Favourites: Ivan Basso, Vincenzo Nibali, Simon Spilak, Domenico Pozzovivo, Levi Leipheimer.
My tip: Just like irl, Ivan Basso will win here.
 
Batista15
Hope Levi can defend his jersey! Good luck, that stage, especially the final climb is soooo hard :lol:
 
lluuiiggii
ow here it comes the zoncolan stage!! good luck and hope you'll still have the jersey after this Wink
 
janne_837
Thank you both Smile
Just started the stage, but I played a bit with the image filtering. Until now, I always played with high dynamic contrast. Does it not look a bit to bright? I have tried a few filters, and I think that the second looks much better.
Whats your opinion?
(1) No filter
img121.imageshack.us/img121/9233/pcm0003z.jpg
(2) light and saturated

I would take the first or second one..you´re right the 3rd is really bright. But it´s up to you Wink
 
tsmoha
2nd.
 
Tuco the Ugly
Agreed with tsmoha, light and saturated is the way to go.
 
roturn
Also agree. Just changed it in my story, too Wink
 
janne_837
Thank you all for the feedback Smile So I present now the first stage report with the image filter "Light and saturated"! (I think it is way better, it is not so bright and the game even run more fluently).

Depart in Mestre.

The early break in Oderzo, the rider: Mauricio Ardila (Rabobank), Geraint Thomas (Sky), Oliver Zaugg (Liquigas), Paul Voss (Milram), Daniel Lloyd (Cervélo), who was the most dangerous rider with 26 minutes behind, Craig Lewis (Colombia), Daniel Sesma (Euskaltel), Mario Aerts (Omega Pharma) and Dominik Klemme (SaxoBank).

The early group reached the first mountain, the Sella Chianzutan. Though the pace is not very high, Paul Voss dropped. The peloton is already 17 minutes behind, as long as Dan Lloyd was not a thread for the leader jersey, we decided to do nothing.

While Ardila and Zaugg are already at the top, we see a first attack in the favourites group, Stefano Garzelli accelerated!

Gruppo Maglia rosa reachs the final destination, the Monte Zoncolan! Dario Cataldo (QuickStep) seems strong today, he already attacked.
The rider in the group behind: Tiago Machado, Levi Leipheimer and Sérgio Paulinho (RadioShack), Vincenzo Nibali and Ivan Basso (Liquigas), Luis Leon Sánchez and Marzio Bruseghin (Caisse d'Epargne, surprisingly no Moreau!), Kevin Seeldraeyers (QuickStep), Domenico Pozzovivo (Colnago), Michele Scarponi and José Serpa (Androni), Simon Spilak (Lampre, the next surprise: No Cunego!), Marco Pinotti (Colombia), Stefano Garzelli (Acqua&Sapone), Daniel Martin (Garmin), Bauke Mollema (Rabobank), Bradley Wiggins (Sky) and two rider we did not expected, Alexsandr Dyachenko (Astana) and Przemyslaw Niemiec (Miche).

One of the infamous +20% sections... While Ardila and Zaugg are fighting against the climb...

img190.imageshack.us/img190/9960/k2pcm0017u.jpg
But he was able to stay in the group, it seems that all were run out of energy... Well, not all: With 2,3km to the finish, Michele Scarponi attacked, and only Vincenzo Nibali and Ivan Basso seem able to follow!

Mauricio Ardila... Certainly the man of the day, already in the early group, he did most of the work, and now, even Oliver Zaugg can not follow the colombian. Behind them, Basso, Nibali and Scarponi build up their gap, they are already 40 seconds ahead Levi.

Mauricio was too tired to celebrate, but at least, he made his biggest victory in his career today... Great performance! Zaugg finished 1 minute later.

img35.imageshack.us/img35/5540/k2pcm0020.jpg
Ivan Basso had most energy left and wins the sprint against Scarponi. Nibali even lost contact in the sprint, but still finished fifth.

img716.imageshack.us/img716/7775/k2pcm0021.jpg
Bauke Mollema, Sérgio Paulinho, Stefano Garzelli, Levi Leipheimer and Marco Pinotti are the next, 2'48" behind Ardila and 56 seconds behind Basso.

img403.imageshack.us/img403/7900/k2pcm0022.jpg
It was a hard race for our young portuguese climber, but Tiago Machado did not gave up and finished as 20th, 5'52" behind Ardila.

img263.imageshack.us/img263/4083/k2pcm0023.jpg
The loser of the day: Damiano Cunego finished 27th, +12'18", and Christophe Moreau 28th, 12'38".

Good job gaining time on Sanchez,
 
valverde321
I didn't even think this was your story at first , when I saw the image filtering, but its definately better like this than when it was previously.

________________________

Yours and Squire's are the best stories currently. Both go above and beyond. I mean no offense to others because you are all still much better than me and not far behind Janne and Squire, but as I story-writer I have to admit defeat to those two. Hopefully LL Sanchez can take the maglia rosa from you. Shock

ha, I think exactly the same ^^ that's why both are my favourite stories (also because both teams have lance armstrong Grin) but take that LL Sanchez thinking away!!

Great job keeping the maglia. convinced now you have a real chance to win the giro?? Wink

Good job keeping the Maglia Rosa and gaining time on Sánchez.
 
Batista15
Great to see Levi keeping the maglia rosa! I really hope he´ll win this Giro Smile
 
tsmoha
Agree with Batista15! Exciting stage, and good to see Levi fighting for jersey!

@Roturn, Pellizotti2, Batista15 and Tsmoha
Thank you all Smile But it is still a long way to go...

@valverde321
Thank you very much Smile But I have to disagree, I do not think that my story is as good as you said... And I really like your story Wink
You are Caisse d'Epargne-Fan, aren't you? :lol: Well, no problem, we will see which rider will take it finally.

@lluuiiggii
Well, not really... Maybe we perform well at the last stage, but there are still a few mountain stages and we can not lost always one minute to the superior climber like Basso or Nibali...

The ASO announced the 20 teams which have the honour to compete at the most important cycling event of the world, the Tour de France:

Pro Tour
AG2R La Mondiale
Astana
Caisse d'Epargne
Euskaltel-Euskadi
Footon - Servetto
Française des Jeux
Garmin - Transitions
HTC - Colombia
Katusha
Lampre - Farnese Vini
Liquigas - Doimo
Milram
Omega Pharma - Lotto
Quick Step
Rabobank
RadioShack
Sky Professional Cycling Team
Saxo Bank

Wildcards
Bbox Bouygues Telecom
Cofidis

The ASO only award two wildcards, and (what a surprise), they gone to the french teams. So: Without BMC (with rider like two times runner-up and world champ Cadel Evans, Alessandro Ballan, George Hincapie) and the Cervélo Test Team (Points jersey 2009 Thor Hushovd and Tour winner 2008 Carlos Sastre), we will miss two of the best cycling teams worldwide.

Giro d'Italia

Giro d'Italia
Stage 16: San Vigilio di Marebbe - Plan de Corones, 13km ITT
img814.imageshack.us/img814/7042/giroditaliaprofiles16.jpg
Even it is only a 13km long time trial, it will be a hard stage. From the start to the finish at the top of the Plan de Corones, the rider will go up almost 1100 meters of height. A good chance for Basso, Nibali and Sánchez to gain time on Levi and Sérgio.

Team goals:
- Top 10 / Damage limitation (Leipheimer, Paulinho)

Favourites: Ivan Basso, Vincenzp Nibali, Michele Scarponi, Levi Leipheimer, Stefano Garzelli
My tip: Stefano Garzelli wins irl here, he is also a good bet for the victory today.
 
FreitasPCM
What a douchebag I was on forgetting to check how The Shack was doing in Italy. :lol:

You're doing a great job, but you must be careful with LLS who is the biggest danger right now. Smile
 
janne_837
@FreitasPCm
No problem :) Thank you... LLS is dangerous, but it seems that he is a bit weaker on the mountains than Levi or Sérgio. Thats our chance.

img88.imageshack.us/img88/903/k2pcm0001a.jpg
The first good time was set by SaxoBank captain Jakob Fuglsang - 39'25"

img525.imageshack.us/img525/4853/k2pcm0002k.jpg
Sylwester Szmyd beats him with a 38'35"

img59.imageshack.us/img59/4479/k2pcm0003.jpg
A surprisingly strong performance by Philip Deignan - 38'30"

img405.imageshack.us/img405/2259/k2pcm0005.jpg
After a poor performance at the last stage, Damiano Cunego seems to be alright again - 37'50"

img829.imageshack.us/img829/9694/k2pcm0006.jpg
Bradley Wiggins also lost much time at the last stage, so I did not expect much of him. But he performs quite well - 38'04"

img594.imageshack.us/img594/1475/k2pcm0007.jpg
Tiago Machado in his beautiful jersey - 38'30"

img827.imageshack.us/img827/5046/k2pcm0008.jpg
My tip for todays stage win failed. Stefano Garzelli - 37'54"

img152.imageshack.us/img152/5137/k2pcm0009.jpg
Dario Cataldo was probably the biggest surprise today - 37'40"

img526.imageshack.us/img526/2645/k2pcm0010x.jpg
Domenico Pozzovivo showed his great climbing abilities - 37'29"

img692.imageshack.us/img692/5613/k2pcm0011.jpg
Michele Scarponi was the only non-Liquigas rider who was able to gain time on Levi at the Zoncolan-Stage, so he was one of the favourites for today. Rightly. He sets the new besttime - 37'19"

img72.imageshack.us/img72/9766/k2pcm0012.jpg
Bauke Mollema - 38'18"

img189.imageshack.us/img189/8837/k2pcm0013.jpg
Vincenzo Nibali on fire! He beats the currently best time from Scarponi with 1'27" (35'52"). Marco Pinotti - 37'35"

img33.imageshack.us/img33/5669/k2pcm00140.jpg
Even his team mate Ivan Basso, who is probably the strongest climber in the competition, was helplessly against the shark. Ivan Basso - 37'10"

img205.imageshack.us/img205/9707/k2pcm0016.jpg
Simon Spilak - 37'27"

img256.imageshack.us/img256/9122/k2pcm0004.jpg
Luis León Sánchez at the start. It was not his day, only a 37'50" for the spaniard.

img577.imageshack.us/img577/7869/k2pcm0017.jpg
Sérgio Paulinho with a quite good time - 37'19", the same time like Scarponi, only Nibali and Basso were faster.

img217.imageshack.us/img217/4673/k2pcm0018.jpg
La Maglia Rosa, Levi Leipheimer. He finished with the same time as Paulinho - 37'19"

Well, Nibali was without competition today. Ivan Basso was weaker than I expected, he was only 9 seconds before Levi and Sérgio, which were able to finish with the same time as the third best climber in the field, Michele Scarponi.

Sánchez lost time today, but of course he is still in the race. But we have a "new" opponent. Hopefully, Nibali may not show again such a strong performance, otherwise he will conquer the leader jersey soon.
