"Today we have real mountain, he'll lose the jersey"

Matthews pulled a Voeckler better than Voeckler ever did.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

I think we really can stop classifying Bling as a sprinter now. And it's a good choice by him to focus on harder parcours.

I wonder how many people remember Valverde completely leaving Evans when he had a mechanical? Nobody waited for Evans then, but now Evans is supposed to wait for Movistar?

Are people kidding me? What goes around...

They shouldn't wait, it was raining, it was obvious a crash was gonna happen. SHould have paid more attention.

It sucks though that purito is prob out

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kelderman best of the 2nd group. Says enough really

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

The only thing that today has done for the GC is ensured that we will have aggressive racing on the steep climbs. Evans could lose major time on the Zoncolan or Grappa, which is a f**king beast.

 

[Vino's Mum]

Matthews takes it. Will be interesting to see what the riders have to say about this attack.

Don't think there's much to say. Yeah, it doesn't look great, but the race was on.

 

[Arnout]

Quintana did not look good.

I was thinking the same.

 

[Afrank]

Pretty good stage action-wise in the end. For the wrong reasons though of course.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I'm so bummed... Kelderman was so strong, but the stupid fall ruined the stage

 

[gmedina]

Quintana can get that time back in 1km on grappa or zoncolan.

assuming weather is nice and stages are not shortened like last year :/

 

[Hugo87]

At least M.Matthews got the win and got at least more 2 days in pink, till the end of the 8th stage.

 

[Akuryo]

If Evans now goes on to win the Giro ...

 

[Lupi33]

In Australia this is known as "doing a Bradbury"

Aussie cycling fans will get that reference
the rest can enjoy finding out via google

 

[hfer07]

Duarte gained all the time he lost yesterday- but overall - It was a massacre...

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Yikes that wound on Cuego's leg doesn't look good.

 

[christopherrowe]

The Maglia Rosa was in the front group, the crash occurred after the windup in the last 10K. BMC and Evans have nothing to be ashamed of. That wasn't an attack, it was a continuation. It was racing.

 

[Miburo]

Kelderman best of the 2nd group. Says enough really

On this kinda climb it doesn't say much at all. Maybe for stage win i guess but not GC-wise.

 

[classicomano]

Cuddles in cruise control to the overall victory, what a GOD!

 

[cineteq]

Evans doing everything right, congratulations!
Quintana is starting to realize that being considered a big favorite is not enough to win a GT.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Scarponi looks pretty knackered too.

 

[gossymat]

It's going to be Swift tomorrow assuming they don't crash

 

[T-Nielsen]

Where was Roche.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Poor Scarponi

 

[FellOff]

Well done to Evans for staying out of trouble - gnarly old pro

 

[Lupi33]

anyone catch Sven Tuft's injuries?
hard to look at
