Beautiful win by Purito!!! And in Pink!!!

Yes. AMAZING win, wheelsucking the entire stage for a sprint of 200m. Amazing. Really beautiful.

Great ride by Hesjedal. I wasn't sure how well he'd go on today's steeper climbs but he looked solid.

Still hoping he can pull this one out.

Henao didnt blow that much. Comes with Tira and Cataldo.

 

[Parrulo]

Yes. AMAZING win, wheelsucking the entire stage for a sprint of 200m. Amazing. Really beautiful.

indeed, basso deserved this one, and he actually wasn't all that far from getting it

2'50" for Henao.
Impressive ride by Failli.

 

[WinterRider]

Yes. AMAZING win, wheelsucking the entire stage for a sprint of 200m. Amazing. Really beautiful.

Well he was in the pink and it was up to everyone else to try and do something. Don't hate him for riding tactically well.

He has often been the animator in stages such as this.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Henao didnt blow that much. Comes with Tira and Cataldo.

He blew more than enough to remove any chance of a podium.

 

[nvpacchi]

Fun stage today

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Henao limits his loses, this giro despite some ridicilious podium claims was always going to be a learning curve. He'll be some rider down the road.

 

[The Sheep]

Well, so much for "Purito disrespecting the Pink Jersey", right, Zam??

He does it like cav tbh waiting till the last km.

 

[c&cfan]

Yes. AMAZING win, wheelsucking the entire stage for a sprint of 200m. Amazing. Really beautiful.

well.. he has a brain. he looked like at his limit at giau and he has the best sprint.

only if he was as stupid as your post you would see him working..

 

[will10]

Who says they had a choice?

Great effort by Scarponi.

They let him back by not working hard from 8k to go onwards.

 

[Gloin22]

He blew more than enough to remove any chance of a podium.

But Uran is still there

 

[cineteq]

Yes. AMAZING win, wheelsucking the entire stage for a sprint of 200m. Amazing. Really beautiful.

Thanks for agreeing with me LOL!!!

 

[UpTheRoad]

Yes. AMAZING win, wheelsucking the entire stage for a sprint of 200m. Amazing. Really beautiful.

He is in pink, so all he has to do is defend. It's up to others to ride him off their wheel.

Hey guys what did I miss. Was this good enough? I only came back in time to watch the final 6 km.

 

[nvpacchi]

Yes. AMAZING win, wheelsucking the entire stage for a sprint of 200m. Amazing. Really beautiful.

JROd did exactly what the Maglia Rosa was supposed to do

 

[maltiv]

Too bad the strongest rider in this Giro has no acceleration whatsoever.

 

[will10]

well.. he has a brain. he looked like at his limit at giau and he has the best sprint.

only if he was as stupid as your post you would see him working..

Yes but it was hardly a beautiful win. If he had danced clear at 1km to go and held everyone off on the descent then maybe. But following all day and winning sprint? Beautiful win? nah.

 

[Pippo_San]

Now just hoping for someone to screw JRod

 

[rxgqgxnyfz]

Purito kissing Basso

they want to be just like Alberto and Andy!

 

[Parrulo]

my man domenico clearly waiting for his favorite climb, i expect to see him attacking big time on the pampeago stage

 

[vcampbell]

Actually this stage was really boring. Nothing really happened. The only good thing that Hesjedal is one more step closer to win or at least reach a podium spot.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

So are we down to four serious contenders now?

JRod
Hesjedal
Basso
Scarponi

If you want epicness I fear you're gonna be disapoointed.
