2016 Giro d'Italia - Stage 10 Campi Bisenzio - Sestola 219km

Sky at the Giro... marginal gains have the opposite effect in Italy apparently.

RIP Giro.

Liking Kruijswijk's chances

I know the new Team Sky thread was created for me because I post a few line ups from time to time.

But can we please just appreciate this:

Froome Landa Thomas Poels Intxausti Konig Kwiatkowski Stannard Rowe

All fresh and with not many race days in their legs.

 

[Red Rick]

Zakarin is supposedly carrying injury from the TT. Kruijswijk looking pretty good now, but it starts to look for a good opportunity for a lot of riders

Thank you, but this is Il Giro right now. Feel free to come back in mid-june.

Re:

Why?

 

[pablopaul]

Apparently Landa suffering with severe abdominal pain. Taken from twitter so pinch of salt and all that.

Re: Re:

Why?

Cause Nibali will win easily

Looks like game over for Landa in #Giro This might be the size of the sausage he had last night.

So it may be that barbecue yesterday.

 

[jens_attacks]

yeah i think too that nibali has no rivals left now. only zakarin maybe but he's an unknown yet for the grand tours.
i was really looking to see landani flying up the mountains

I fear a big borefest. Nobody has a big disadvantage so nobody will risk a lot and try a solo from Pian del Falco. Nibali wasnt super strong in the first week so I doubt Astana will go full La Spezia and since Kruswijk is still in front of Nibali they also can't just set a high pace to drop the Etixx guys to get pink, because Nibali would still only be 2nd. Best thing that could happen to us would be a big weakness by a gc contender (Landa most likely considering that he was also in troubles in stage 8) because then we would already get some decent gaps on the penultimate climb. However I doubt anyone would drop before the final 4 kilometers so even if someone has a bad day we wouldnt have action for a very long time.
Besides that we can still hope that Nibali tries an attack before the descent to get a gap. That might work but if he isnt the strongest and gets caught again he will most likely loose time, so if I was him I don't think I would try it.

Landa isn't weak, he's clearly recovered and is very strong, he'll be stronger than Nibali in the mountains
Depends so much. Mostly on whether you're watching or not

oh boy. prophetic this was not

 

[46&twoWheels]

abdominal pain:

differential diagnosis
infection? sausages? gas!? brailsforditis? Nibali's jinx?

 

[Rollthedice]

I can't believe the sausagegate. Surely Sky know what they're doing nutrition wise.

How about him, G, Poels and Nieve putting on a clinic in the execution of climbing trains?

Sky's BBQ chef is looking for a new job

Well as a biomedical student who happens to do med's course right now.....


I dunno lol, see a doctor.

 

[markene2]

It would be absolute irony if Sky poisoned Landa with a sausage considering they are touting marginal gains all day long. To bad, i like Landa

Re:

Me too. Not easy, but one can hope!

 

[Laplaz]

Looking forward to Kruijswijk, Majka and Chavez. All of those can podium.

 

[blackmamba]

Landa should never have gone to Sky, sky have a tendency to ruin great talents sadly..theres plenty of evidence out there
