2016 Giro d'Italia, Stage 18: Muggiò - Pinerolo (240 km)

[Kwibus]

Friday and saturday is what everyone is waiting for.

I hope the chasers catch brambilla and moser. Atleast we get some more tactics.

Re:

Toothless from Chaves. No surprises from Valverde though, Mr. Podium.

Much better to try something big tomorrow or Saturday than a pointless attack that may gain a handful of seconds today.

Problem is that Kruijswijk still has a domestique so even on the descent nobody wants to attack. Sad since I really expected attacks at least there.

Trentin got this, right?

Tommorow will be an epic stage. Everyone was saving energies

Re: Re:

Like i said, nobody (Valverde. Chaves, Nibali, Zakarin) will try to win this Giro anymore.

Kruijswijk does look like he could easily answer any attack, but at least they could try. Now they didn't even use the clilmb to isolate him, so it's beginning to look like they've already accepted that Kruijswijk is going to win the Giro.

This was the best chance for Valverde to put Kruijswijk under pressure. He will lose time anyway in the next stages. So he's happy with 3rd.

I understand Chaves. First podium up for grabs. But Bala is 36 and normally this is his last chance to win a GT.

But i even understand Valverde. It's not Contador.

Gap has stayed around 16s for the last k so not totally nailed on the front 2 get caught.

Re:

Just realized that if Nibali is out if shape there's nobody else who dares to do anything.

That's often the case, bunch of pussies.

 

[Kwibus]

Look at them giving it all. Awesome.

 

[infeXio]

Tense!

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Yes! Brambilla cannot drop Moreno!

 

[ILovecycling]

good uphill sprint !

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Great duel between the front two!

 

[Eclipse]

That was a nice battle up that last wall, probably going to come down to who has the most left and not necessarily who is the fastest now

Yeah, looks like they'll hold them off.

 

[Sciatic]

I see that all of the "nothing will happen" naysayers have been starved for attention this Giro because this past week things keep happening. But out in force today when it makes sense for all contenders to keep their powder dry for the next two days of monster climbing. But at least you got to spout your NWH today

 

[carolina]

trentin!

 

[Cance > TheRest]

For goodness sake. What an anticlimax...

 

[Kwibus]

Oh boy....
Poor Moser.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Brilliant from Trentin!!!!!!!

 

[ILovecycling]

Holy *** !!!!!!!
*** Trentin!!!!!!!!!
My god!
