Re: 2016 Giro d'Italia, Stage 19: Pinerolo - Risoul (162 km

I'm really sorry for all dutch cycling fans. First Dumoulin in the Vuelta and now Kruijswijk in the Giro. Ofc it isnt over yet but at least its safe to say that if he hadnt crashed its extremely likely he would have won.

It's not over yet!

Notice something

Claimed ad break
Not taken. No commentators is pretty blissful

Lotto NL management are really a bunch of idiots, crap team, crap strategy (no one at the front today), shame on them.

 

[saganftw]

i wonder how much does it cost to buy a rider to pull for you few kms? anyone with insider info?

Uci should check clarke's bike, almost sure that his bike has a motor

Astana and Movi to go all out on the Agnello and isolate Kruijswijk. Then Nibali attacks on the final kilometer of the climb and get a good advantage on the descent before he joins his teammates who were up in front. Kruijswijk chases on his own for the whole 40 kilometers between the top of Agnello and the start of Rissoul and then can't follow Chaves and Valverde who attack on the first kilometers of the mtf and gain 2 minutes on Kruijswijk and almost catch Nibali again who gets a heroic stage win a bit like in La Toussuire in the tdf last year.

waw

It's probably Porte's.

 

[MovistarRider]

Valverde needs to close the gap to Nibali and Chaves as quickly as possible.

Re:

Because of that downhill? I don't think he would have used the motor on the downhill, even if he had one. He was just drafting a moto or a car most likely.

Ulissi: Nibali's next domestique?

I remember reading over a decade ago that someone had paid another team €500 per rider pulling. It was 2002 or 2003, methinks.

Re:

Just got back - Kruijswijk crash, Zakarin crash, Nibali + Chaves 1 min 30 ahead of SK. Anything else I've missed?

Well, there was a great chateau.

Lack of quality riders. Not much strategy you can put into practice like that.

Can't happen in the open although Gallopin for Thomas...There has to be a "reason", like Verona pulling the Pink/Jungels group.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Valverde group now slipping back according to GPS, they've also had to chase themselves while Nibali and Chavez get a free ride.

Kruijswijk now 2 mins back of time gaps can be trusted.

Re: Re:

I think Steven is hurt. Not looking good.

If that's true he might save the day, but tomorrow will be worse

Well, we may likely have a lot of trouble when climbing Risoul already, if he is hurt.

 

[damian13ster]

Valverde screwed. Too many riders in Nibali group and the gap is growing

 

[rainman]

Piti losing ground on Nibs, SK losing ground on Piti.

You can still put a guy in the break surely instead of having 5 guys pacing for nothing in Agnello.

EDIT - SK's face looks terrible, not sure he'll make it to the top :-(

 

[Nirvana]

1'40" between Nibali and Jungels at 20 kms to go.
I didn't see Valverde.

 

[Poursuivant]

SK will crack on final climb

Now two minutes? Really? Just went to make a sandwich
