lot of wind today, that is very bad for pozzovivo and quintana

 

[Better Call Saul]

What role do you guys think risk-taking on the descents will play? Who will be prepared to crash for those few extra seconds?

 

[GuyIncognito]

So, Gretsch nowhere in the 2nd intermediate but by far the fastest at the finish.

Something tells me the Giro site is ****ed again.
Gretsch was good at the 1st intermediate tho

Mechanical. Lost a lot of time midway but recovered it by the finish

[Rajna31]

Mechanical. Lost a lot of time midway but recovered it by the finish

So he gained 3+ minutes on Flens over 13 km?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Absolutely horrible weather with lots of rain and wind.

 

[Netserk]

Mechanical. Lost a lot of time midway but recovered it by the finish

No. Then we would have his time from the 2nd intermediate. We don't.

So annoying when there's strong/wind rain in time trials, as riders get completely different conditions. If the rain stops then no one has a chance except the last 20...

[Ryo Hazuki]

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Smash? Nope..

 

[maltiv]

So there are 0 intermediate times today or what?

 

[blackcat]

don't know if they have been off, but I reckon durbridge gets this, or tuft.

I would write about this post in the Clinic forum, but this is the right post, forum I mean

 

[Der Effe]

Does anyone know whether the rain will stop anytime soon?
