BASSANO DEL GRAPPA, Italy -- Colombias Nairo Quintana showed off his climbing strength and increased his lead in the Giro dItalia with a victory Friday in the 19th stage, a mountain time trial. Jason Kidd Jersey . Quintana, runner-up at last years Tour de France, clocked 1 hour, 5 minutes, 37 seconds over the 26.8-kilometre (16.7-mile) route from Bassano del Grappa to Cima Grappa. Italys Fabio Aru finished second, 17 seconds behind, and Colombias Rigoberto Uran was third, 1:26 behind. "I had a great feeling and I took full advantage of it," said Quintana, who rides for the Movistar team. "I was really well prepared." After his second stage win in this years race, Quintana moved 3:07 ahead of Uran in the overall standings. Aru moved ahead of Pierre Roland into third, 3:48 back. Victorias Ryder Hesjedal dropped to ninth overall after finishing 26th in Fridays stage. Svein Tuft of Langley, B.C., was 138th Friday and sat 155th overall. Giuseppe Martinelli, Arus team director with Astana, continued to discuss the controversial 16th stage, which was also won by Quintana amid questions whether the dangerous descent from the Stelvio pass was supposed to be neutralized or not. "I think that conditioned the race," Martinelli said. "Quintana probably would still have won but not with a three-minute advantage (on Aru)." The opening five kilometres (three miles) of the time trial were nearly flat but then the road tilted uphill dramatically, reaching a gradient of 14 per cent at one point. Many riders changed bikes after the flat section, going from a specialized time trial version to their regular road bikes for the climb. Quintana even changed his helmet. "It only cost me a few seconds," Quintana said. "I was really calm. We practiced it." Stage 20 on Saturday is the races last mountain leg, a 167-kilometre (104-mile) route that starts in Maniago and finishes with a climb up the demanding Monte Zoncolan. "I think I already did today what the fans wanted to see," Quintana said. "Tomorrow I hope me and my team can control the stage." The race ends on flatter ground Sunday in the northeastern port city of Trieste. Dirk Nowitzki Jersey . LOUIS -- St. Jalen Brunson Jersey . -- Deshorn Brown scored twice, the first coming 13 seconds into the game, and the Colorado Rapids beat the undermanned Seattle Sounders 5-1 Saturday night. http://www.officialmavericksfanstore.com/customized/ . PETERSBURG, Fla.ALLEN PARK, Mich. - After days of cabin fever, the Buffalo Bills were finally able to practice.Then they changed clothes at portable lockers in a hallway — a makeshift setup that underscored just how different this road trip is going to be.The Bills arrived in the Detroit area Friday and held practice that night at the Lions headquarters in Allen Park. The teams schedule has been in flux because of a lake-effect storm that dumped more than 5 feet of snow on the Buffalo region since Monday. This weekends game against the New York Jets was moved from Buffalo to Detroit and will be played Monday night.It felt really good. Being laid up in the house for a while is not fun, tight end Scott Chandler said. It was good to get to just focus on football for a few hours, and not have to worry about anything else.Chandler needed a snowmobile ride to leave his neighbourhood, and he said some of his teammates did too.A local guy, lives around the corner from a lot of us, and they were able to flag him down at a gas station, and he was willing to come help us out. They were trying to plow the road, but it wasnt going to get done fast enough, Chandler said. He was able to come get us and just take us around the corner to where we could get in a car and get to the stadium.Coach Doug Marrone and his staff had been living at the Bills headquarters, going over the game plan and consulting with the team by phone and computer because players were snowed in. Now the Lions are letting the Bills in their practice facility, where Detroit had a workout earlier Friday.Theyve been outstanding, Marrone said. Opening everything up, thats really not heard of in this league, unless they force you to do it. Detroit wasnt forced to do that, so I have a great appreciation for the organization here. We have everything. We have the locker room right behind us, we have the meeting rooms and things of that nature.The venue is a familiar one for Buffalo defensive co-ordinator Jim Schwartz, who was fired in December after five seasons as Detroits coach. Schwartz was carried off the fieldd by the Bills after they beat the Lions in Detroit in October. Kostas Antetokounmpo Jersey. Hell coach at Ford Field again Monday.Schwartz was not available to reporters Friday.Fans are being offered free tickets to Mondays game, and Bills running back Fred Jackson said hes not sure what kind of environment to expect.Im kind of excited to see what happens, he said. Itll be a different experience for everybody.This is the second time in four years Ford Field has hosted a neutral site game. In 2010, a game between the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants was moved to Detroit because the Metrodome roof collapsed.Fans who showed up for that game witnessed a bit of history. Brett Favres streak of 297 regular-season starts came to an end that night.The Bills are hoping conditions will be less harsh back home next week, but next weekends home game against Cleveland also could be affected by the weather.Bills President Russ Brandon says the team is planning to return to Buffalo after Monday nights game in Detroit.Our plan is to get right back to Buffalo after the game, Brandon said. Well have a short work week as we prepare for Cleveland, but well stay nimble and see how the situation evolves and well go from there.Lions President Tom Lewand was asked Friday if Ford Field could be available for the Bills again next weekend. Detroit hosts Chicago on Thanksgiving, and there are high school championship games scheduled for the venue Friday and Saturday.I dont want to get into projections. Lets deal with whats in front of us right now, Lewand said. I know the folks at the Bills organization are working awfully hard to get themselves prepared not only to play the Jets on Monday night, but the Browns next week. It wouldnt be fair on me to comment beyond trying to get them as successful as possible for a great game on Monday night.___AP Sports Writers John Wawrow in Buffalo, New York, Dennis Waszak Jr., in Florham Park, New Jersey, and AP freelance reporter Mark Ludwiczak contributed to this report.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Authentic Nike Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Tennessee Titans Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Washington Redskins Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Denver Broncos Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Green Bay Packers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike New England Patriots Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Oakland Raiders Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Seattle Seahawks Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Carolina Panthers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Cleveland Browns Jerseys Cheap Cheap Throwback Baseball Arizona Diamondbacks Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Atlanta Braves Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Baltimore Orioles Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Boston Red Sox Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Chicago Cubs Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Chicago White Sox Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Cincinnati Reds Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Cleveland Indians Jerseys ' ' '
