Giro d'Italia 2013 Stage 7

Route：San Salvo - Pescara 177km

1 Adam Hansen (Aus) Lotto Belisol
2 Enrico Battaglin (Ita) Bardiani Valvole-CSF Inox
3 Danilo Di Luca (Ita) Vini Fantini-Selle Italia

這路是新鋪的嗎？ 還是抹了油？


出發時天氣還好好的...


還沒放行，Mattia Cattaneo (Lampre - Merida)，就摔到送醫...DNF


本站只有一點點平路，幸運六人行：Emanuele Sella (Androni Giocattoli), Ioannis Tamouridis (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Maarten Tjallingii (Blanco), Dominique Rollin (FDJ), Adam Hansen (Lotto Belisol), Pim Ligthart (Vacansoleil-DCM) 順利暗渡陳倉

其中Emanuele Sella (Androni Giocattoli) 只落GC 榜6:52...但整個peloton 居然放他走了

兔子們拉開超過7 分鐘差距，Emanuele Sella (Androni Giocattoli) 順勢披上國王的新衣

通過了滑不溜丟的山區，Adam Hanson (Lotto Belisol) 在Santa Maria di Criptis 山區把Emanuele Sella (Androni Giocattoli) 海放...駛入偉大的航道中...


距離拉得夠開，可以穩穩下坡


Danilo di Luca (Vini Fantini-Selle Italia) 這時才想要追擊，看能不能抓單站，為時已晚


其他GC favorites 黏在一起穩穩下坡


大後方上演滑滑樂，一堆人轉倒

威鯨轉倒後！ 下坡變超慢，他的競爭力一點一滴的流失...點這裡看


最終，昆士蘭之光Adam Hansen (Lotto Belisol) 單飛進終點，笑納生涯中最大的單站勝利


他賽後表示：Today looked like a breakaway stage. I was motivated this morning, and I shaved my head to be ready for it. Getting into the breakaway is one of the hardest things in cycling. When we led by 7 minutes I thought there was a chance. When our lead came down, I though there was no chance. Sella was the strongest rider on the climbs. I didn’t think he would expect a rider like me to ride on the climbs. I tried to break him mentally. I was surprised he cracked. The whole time I didn’t believe it. I thought the bunch would come back. When I heard my lead was still 2 minutes 30 seconds with 6km to go, I though: it’s real, this time I’m bringing it home.



喔喔...請讓Q 半仙播一下澳洲國歌




一分鐘後集團衝線，GC favorites 們幾乎都在


本來有機會穿上粉紅衫的愛曼紐先生，開掉之後就後繼乏力，落後1m52s，34th 進終點



Hansen 在頒獎台上拿著澳洲國旗，感性的表示：I can’t speak Italian but I come from an Italian background. My grandparents migrated to Australia from Fossano. They settled in North Queensland, where my mother was born, into a sugar cane family, although they were related to the Italian Ambassador in Australia. I have dual passports, Italian and Australian.


本站跑完，損失最大的莫過於威鯨，落後GC 榜1m32s...明天的ITT 能掙回多少？


尤其不妙的是，ITT 當天有60% 降雨機率...
