1. Giro d’Italia 2012 | Stage 19

    A stage win for Roman Kreuziger! A small consolation for him in race in which he was meant to be up there competing in the GC, only to crack in a spectacular and painful fashion on stage 17.

    Astana’s DS Guiseppe Martinelli did not mince his words:

    After stage 17, Astana’s directeur sportif Giuseppe Martinelli had expressed his disappointment. “In his two-year contract with Astana, he has only won a stage of the 2010 Giro del Trentino,” Martinelli said. “We expected more from him. I’m disappointed.”

    Asked about the possibility of a stage win at one of the two big mountain stages, Martinelli answered: “We didn’t bring Kreuziger for a stage win. We brought him for the podium. We got the stage win we wanted with Paolo Tiralongo.” 

    Roman, the fans are still cheering for you! Great ride today.
