Zakarin only with the left collarbone broken. Damn.

Re: Re:

why didn't they send 1-2 doms into the initial break?

That's a good question. Same issue with Giant at the Vuelta last year, but apparently Lotto wasn't watching.

Re:

Now that the stronger rider has crashed, Nibali is en route to another GT.

There's a pattern here.

Nibali, agent of chaos.

 

[wirral]

How many more "malocchios" does Nibali have in his bag of powers?

 

[Red Rick]

Please Kruijswijk, show Nibali how to do a sticky bottle

 

[Eclipse]

If Kruijswijk doesn't lose a huge chunk of time over the flat section he's an absolute freak.

Re: Re:

This is brutal, but Stefano is losing the Giro because of having no team

His poor descending skills are a bigger factor.

But now he will kill himself in the flat and he will still lose lots of time because he's alone, whereas Chaves, Valverde and Nibali all have teammates to help him.

Of course, he's only put in this position because of his descending skills. But this position wouldn't be so bad with a team.

This GPS is so messed up

I don't get people saying 'bad bike handlers.' These are top, top professionals. Of course their bike handling skills are good. Some are better than others, obviously, but compared to us on these boards, no comparison. The conditions, the pressure, the tiredness, the technical descent, visibility...These guys are all going all out, fighting for top spots on the GC. There was always gonna be a chance for some crashes, unfortunate as it is, but simply saying 'bike handling skills need improvement,' is rubbish.

This is by far the worst nightmare for any leader in the last week. Alone in a valley.

almost 2 minutes

If Nibali wins this Giro...

 

[goggalor]

lol these giro time checks

 

[doperhopper]

Will Scarpo win the Giro for Chaves?

 

[johnymax]

Steven catching Valverde, cmon!

 

[Nirvana]

"Maglia Rosa group"

 

[jsem94]

Not sure what to make of the GPS.. acting all kinds of strange right now.

 

[hrotha]

Time for Lotto to bring out the cheques and buy themselves a temporary team.

 

[MikeTichondrius]

These GPS times are ridiculous. Kruisjwijk in the Amador group. He's hurt though. Large gash in left arm.

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Kruiswijk bleeding from his elbow.

 

[Arredondo]

Kruijswijk gets help from Etixx.

 

[TomLPC]

Steve found some mates

 

[Climbing]

Looks like more than 2 min and half... it's a lot more.
Kind of make sense, harsh.
Chavito for picking I guess.

 

[infeXio]

He's got company in Jungels now, though

 

[Miburo]

Nibali and chavez should ride too.

 

[hfer07]

just tuned in. What the fvck happened to Kruijswijk? crash !

damn it !!
