2016 Giro d'Italia - Stage 5 Praia a Mare – Benevento 233km

To me there was a gap of over a second between Greipel and Demare, so Valverde should only have gained 3 seconds on Nibali and Landa

How Chaves and Uran have the same time in GT is a mystery to me!!

Yes, I was surprised that they gave Greipel and Demare the same time. That looked like a big gap.

Re: Re:

Mehh I rewatched it carefully but I never see a 4" gap there. Anyway kinda surprising, I did not expect GC guys losing time, eventhough 4" is quite okay.

There doesn't have to be a 4" gap. But there is a 1" gap which means the next guy is placed in the time he lost on the winner.

Thanks Billie, actually I did mess up this part of the rule. You're absolutely right !

Yeah, they never do that in a bunch sprint. Only time I remember is MSR 2009 when Cav and Haussler got a 2 second gap.

Kittel nowhere.
Greipel just destroyed them
Also great sprint by Jungels.
Also Zaka gaining a few seconds along with Valverde is very good.
