Re: Certainly gaps like that are not out of the question - and it may be pretty close to how it actually ends up after this stage. This would be awesome - it would make for one hell of a TT...!!!

Nairo has really tried this Giro but it seems Dumo is just a stronger rider. Hats off to Nairo though - he should be able to hold down second spot and another podium finish, take a good break, then freshen up and I think he'll still do fairly well in the TDF

Are people on here still thinking he can take the Giro?

I'm farily new in here - I like Nairo, always have and thought he was way over the odds yesterday prior to stage 16 which has has proven correct. Im not sure he is over the odds any more though.... Sure he can - and probably should still win this Giro, and he has these things in his favour;-...

Great stage - all fair n square I think - Quintana still the man to beat but Nibali in the mix now. Dummo will likely lose the pink jersey tomorrow

Re: Great ride today - should have plenty of energy left for remaining mountain stages. Not sure why dummy stopped for a break before the big climb but Nario did nothing wrong and just kept cool in the peloton. It was always going to be that he took a couple of minutes off dummo in this stage...

Nibali and few others to attack, Dummo to lose time, and Quintana in pink tomorrow I think is a very likely outcome

I just had a look at the odds and I'm shocked Dummo is the short priced favorite at $1.60, and Nario is $2.50. I thought it would be much close than that.... Im going to have a decent amount of $$ on Nario at those juicy odds of $2.50. I know Dummo has a 2.41min advantage on Nario, but the real...

Nario is still in great shape to take out this Giro. Only 2 and a half minutes of Dumoulin - and we all know we wont start seeing the best of Nario until stage 16. I'm pretty confident at some point after stage 16 Dumoulin will be isolated and crack - its really not a matter of if but when. He...

I think he's perfectly placed for an assault during the last week - we wont see the best of Nario until stage 14 or so. If he can limit time losses in the stage 10 time trial he should win with a leg in the air

Quintana really SHOULD win. If you look at who he will come up against in the Tour de France - the likes of Froome, Chaves, Contador & Richie Porte - none of those guys are in the Giro. If he cant beat the likes of Kruijswijk, Nibali, Landa & Yates who are a fair way behind his opposition in...
