How good of TTer is Carapaz?

Yes, Nibali always has so much luck. So much so he literally got his back broken by a dumb fan's camera strap :rolleyes:

I think Nibs rightly know the only way he wins the Giro is by dropping Rogic. Having Rogic now having to worry about movistar is great news for Nibali's hopes. I still doubt whether he has the ability to sustain a big attack like we've been him as his peak, but if he can he still has a chance if...

Re: I think Nibali realises that Roglic is strong and the only way he can beat him is if he is forced to work to keep Majka, Landa and co in check. And the only way that happens is if those guys pull back time on him like today. Also, I agree. I don't think is he particularly worried about...

I think Nibali's tactics of simply watching Rogic could very well play out. All his direct rivals have now expended a lot of energy by riding solo, but also now Rogic has several other riders he and his team have to be watchful of. The issue is UAE and their willingness to work to keep pink

Re: Re: I get the feeling that the time earned back from each of Nibs rivals will end up hurting them tomorrow where both him and Rog both seems to be riding within themselves. So I do not think it's nearly that bad for Nibs

Does anyone have a good stream? I'm struggling to find one

Koren out of the Giro. Not a lot of big engines on the flat if bahrain is forced to work on the flats

Re: I haven't even heard of Andrea Garosio :D . This looks like his weakest GT team in a long time

I doubt he is ever going to take risk against on a descent ever again, but understandable so How will the teams of the other Giro contenders stack up against Bahrain?

I think we should just hope he can return to being the same great rider. Putting hopes on him performing at Innsbruck? I think people are being way too optimistic

hugely disappointing. I'll be tuning out from here on in. Hopefully there are no long term ramifications

I missed the stage. Did he seem hurt at all from the crash?

No point in watching any more of this Tour unless this was his "bad day". Kinda sad if at his best he's no match for Froome even with a Giro in his legs though

Pozzovivo was the only one to be seen today for nibs. I too think the brothers seemingly don’t give to ducks about nibs GC.
