More importantly, Nizzolo increases his 2nd place tally in the giro to 8.

Don't get the Ewan bashing. When has he ever proven that he's a top sprinter anyway?

Why all the Ewan hate? He's 21...it's okay if he's getting beaten by these guys right now. He will improve.

Re:

Everybody talking about Ewan like he's some has-been. Does anyone know how old he is?

It's interesting to watch the top four's final 200m. Modolo and Ewen are even with eachother, Greipel and Nizzolo in their respective wheels. Greipel and Nizzolo both move at the same time, and suddenly Greipel is ahead by a bike length.

Ewen's sprint was nothing to do with his in/experience. He just doesn't have the power to turn the pedals. Good job by his team, though.

Greipel is just better than the rest. Him and Kittel make up the Froome/Contador/Quintana level of sprinters.

Yep I think he is doing pretty well for a 21 year old

Thing is that sprinters develop totally differently from other specialists. Sprinters start to dominate from very early on. Gavaria, who is like the same age, was there at the pointy end of MSR.

Chaves lost 9 seconds today and no reports of a mechanical or crash

It seems that there were a small cut in the end, sorry for him, but this is Giro, you gotta be awake everytime!!

He will be 22 in two months but dont worry, he will keep winning all those Aussie pre-season crits and stages at the TDU.

I have to agree with the other poster about the lead-out. Very impressive!
