Wrath of the Giro - Stage 14 &15 Results

What a weekend in the mountains! We saw flashes of brilliance from many of the top contenders. Others were working hard just to hang on. No matter where the riders were along this spectrum, the final six stages will be telling - three mountain top finishes, one mountain top time trial, and two flat stages.

This has shaped up to be one of the more entertaining grand tours in recent memory. There are six riders who could pull off the victory. See the exciting replays of the final few kilometers from steephill.tv via eurosport:

On the fantasy cycling side of things we continue to have a string of new stage winners. Congratulations to spandex league reddmption for taking the win on stage 14 and to i girini for taking the win on stage 15. Unfortunately for the rest of the contenders there has been one team on the podium since stage 4. This incredible stretch of podium finishes has extended Pink Panthers' lead to 711 points with one week to go.
