Dombrowski called back to help save ill Uran's twelfth place...

don't think so Dombrowski was really in a bad mood when he realised he let the others ride and wasn't able to close a gap

Eurosport is such a great way to watch all the latest ads, live. I don't know why they bother with the cycling nonsense.



Anyone else feel like betting ?

Don't worry, RAI is doing the same.

These constant breaks on Eurosport are getting old fast
Again though, this is a long-standing Eurosport policy: they have to show x number of adverts, and so they try to squeeze them all in earlier in the stage coverage so that they don't have to break away from the important parts of the stage. Because the riders are doing this stage so quickly, they're having to really cram them in to get them in in that time.

Alberto and Peter should beat Majka about the head and shoulders, steal his jersey, and tell Oleg that they refuse to allow him to be on the same team as them.

Nibali/Valverde should attack on the flat right now if they want to win the Giro. Kruijswijk isolated, this is exactly the same situation as Contador's fuente de attack (with the exception that AC had teammates up the road, but I don't think Nibs/Valv are gonna crack SK uphill)
Chaves is also ahead of them in the GC, remember. Can't waste this chance to distance Chaves in the hopes that they'll succeed in distancing Kruijswijk.

Chaves is 45 seconds down already and doesn't look invincible, while Kruijswijk hasn't put a foot wrong in 16 days

There aren't going to be many better opportunities to put pressure on SK

It's just a really, really bad policy. Greed, that's all.

Of course there will be. He's going to be just as isolated in every remaining mountain stage.

Kruijswijk now gives Zakarin a pat on the back. Why is he patting everyone on the back?!

That's a very good question!

I've given up trying to keep track of what happens...

Indeed yes, though that dosen't mean we can't complain on the internet about them anyway
