Hahaha Eurosport germany is talking about Gallopin's wife

Rightly so

 

[hrotha]

I'm amazed they haven't decided to just turn off the GPS yet. Much better to time all the gaps manually - they have folks on motorbikes for that.

Anyway, if Kruijswijk isn't hurt, it looks like he'll take a very serious blow but still remain in contention. Saved by Etixx.

Re:

Zubeldia is not happy with Monfort's ride today.

Shouldn't he be happy? Soon he will be the only real ninja left, if Monfort wins the stage

 

[Scarponi]

Pirazzi pulling lmao

 

[Volderke]

SK didn't go that slow. It was Clarke who was probably in the slipstream of the car that passed SK shortly after Clarke did.

SK is not a bad descender. He just made a mistake on that curve. It can be hard to estimate distance with snow walls left and right.
His bike change should have been faster so he could connect with the Valverde group. That is a pity he didn't ;-) , but I think nothing is lost.

pirazzi helping nibali

 

[webvan]

Jungels not pulling to save energy for the climb, makes sense, at least he's getting his teammate to help a bit.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Steven to do a Contador on Mortirolo on Risoul.

 

[jsem94]

Chaves or Nibali will win the stage.

Re: Re:

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

Orica blew the race apart on Agnello which kicked it off. Peloton went from 100+ riders down to about 7 in 500 metres.

Thanks

 

[blaxland]

Chavez and Nibali saving energy while Valverde and Steven working hard.could be telling?

Why would they do it when dodgy GPS lets commentators routinely make mountains out of molehills =)

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.

Nibali and chavez are fresh though. And did Kruiswuijk ate and drink during this? I wonder

 

[TourOfSardinia]

nice one pirazzi

 

[TomLPC]

Why is pirazzi pulling =\

Re:

This came in my mind as well. But well see how Kruijswijk manages it.

 

[Volderke]

fact is that SK is working too much to gain any time on the climb. But if he isn't working now, gaps will be even bigger.

 

[webvan]

Well the climb is close, we'll soon know how things stand...

It's not over yet!

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Can't believe Monfort has ninja'd his way into actually leading a bike race

 

[Pantani_lives]

Shouldn't Kirusjiwikisjk save his energy for the final climb?

Re: Re:

Yes, he should lose more time. But there's still tomorrow, if he's not hurt.

 

[woodburn]

Chaves can easily get in pink with good final climb.
