Wasn't he 3rd in the TT? Seems proximate to somewhere near form.

If it were a pet rat, upon which an owner had lavished care and invested emotional value to interactions: probably not dissimilar. By the same token, if it had been one of a pack of feral cats that constituted a public nuisance, charges would probably not have been brought.
It is only to be expected that popular offence at an action is a consideration in moral opinion.
Dunno i just noticed them still out on the course and was worried about the cut, maybe struggled a bit on the last climb given their rider profiles as they finished minutes behind the grupetto
I don't think it's a result he was satisfied with, though?! His stated goal from before the Giro was to win the time trial.
Just over 2 minutes from OTL - came in 38.08 and time limit 40.17. Have they both got the Pogi sniffles?
"It didn't look like it taking into consideration the results, but Tadej Pogacar fell slightly ill last week at the Giro d'Italia. However, after a much needed rest day, the leader of the race reports that he is feeling better in the meantime.
“My cold is better, we'll see how it goes and how tired I am already. The nasal congestion should clear up completely in the next two or three days," Pogacar told Eurosport this morning. "

I think the public reaction would have been quite dissimilar. Cats are cute, rats are not.
Chapeau VPP & AG2R - impressive bit of climbing by a guy who makes Froome look like Fatty Arbuckle. Bardet (himself no porker) a good second, but ride of the day, the legend himself, Pozzovivo! Tratnik did a good ride and as he's not got a contract for next year did a good piece of self-advertisement.
UAE rode tempo when they saw the composition of the breakaway and left it to Bahrain & Ineos to pull back the break. Smart? Yep, but not great TV.
Wednesday stage 11 should be a sprint, but Thursday's might be an interesting day as somebody has bound to target it.

I think it's just the way they like to ride. They also finished behind the gruppetto on stage 2, and among the very last in a couple of Vuelta 23 stages.
Sheffield is a good TTer, that 3rd there isn't special. His performance today somewhat is
VPP looked by far the strongest from the break the other day already, so I guess that was a fair assumption. Main problem for him was the flat start, but he was lucky that it took the break 60k to form.
If your blood is like jelly there is a threat of not waking up.
since those Nutrias started to invade Europe (saw my first one this Winter), you can occasionally get them over here as well now.These are a tasty treat in Louisiana!!
Nutria - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
No idea if they have made it up to San Marino yet, though.
Dude!! I was making a stupid joke!!I didn't have any idea that Nutria were an issue, video today showed an old, sweet looking dog run into the road during the stage, but have not seen any rodents running into the race course!! So far Giro has some ponies, horses and dogs included in the action but no massive rats!! They are big enough for a decent fur hat if that's your thing!!
Apparently, they were used to produce fur for things like coats, and some of them escaped/were freed from these farms and now are quite invasive, at least in the north of Italy
They’re more like a beaver except without the tail and engineering degree.
He got 3rd at US Road champs at 20. He was 6th at Ronde and 2nd in an Algarve stage this year; so his skills are building. Staying with the group is a special for a 22 year old but not out of his expectations; I'd guess.
Cats have 9 lives. That one has "just" 8, it is all good
Shockingly the whole commentator group never figured out that the most serious real race in this Giro is about WHITE jersey.
Bahrain-Victorious had 2 equal reasons to drive it - a) potentially drop Uijtdebroeks (9 seconds gained) but also to control Zana (who still gained almost 2 mins and is in challenger position).
I don't think their effort had ANYTHING to do with GC and Bardet....
P.S. Only watched it now as delayed transmission, had other things for afternoon / early evening.
