Re:

Is that Urán or Cardoso?

Cardoso is with Dumoulin. Uran is up there.

Re: Re:

Brambilla needs 2:36 on Zakarin (incl bonus) to get pink. Zakarin will wear it tomorrow.

He only needs 1'18''.

I had a brainfart: I added the 28' instead of subtracting it. D'oh

Danish commentators made the same mistake a while ago

Landa doing more work than he should given how much weaker than everyone else he will be tomorrow.

Has anyone seen Hesjedal?

You scared me earlier, haha.

Dropped a long time ago.

 

[reindeery]

Yes, Brambilla! Great ride!

Dropped a long time ago.

And now in the second big group I think.

 

[TomLPC]

Show the *** group

 

[Eclipse]

Awesome ride from Brambilla. It'll be great if he gets into pink off it

 

[Max Rockatansky]

Dumoulin so cooked today.

Well, he still has a good chance to get Rosa back tomorrow.

Sorry

I wonder if du Moulin wishes he'd kept on pretending he was only at the Giro for the TTing.

 

[T-Nielsen]

Movistar throwing away another possible win.

 

[SeriousSam]

Good god what happened to Tom, struggling in the flat now

Why would he? There's no shame in getting dropped.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Italian boys top 3

 

[Rollthedice]

Obviously Dumoulin is not here to win the Giro. He told us this many times.

 

[StryderHells]

Good god what happened to Tom, struggling in the flat now

Exactly what was always going to happen in this race, he cracked as he just didn't do the prep to be a serious contender for the GC. I still think he will have a big TT tomorrow

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Annoying. Bad luck is a part of the sport, but damn.. Anyway. Congratz to Brambilla. He's a more worthy wearer of Maglia Rosa than the russian freak, afterall

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Dumoulin +2.52


GC

11th Dumoulin

Yep he didn't lie but many seemed to have been fooled into believing he was here to win.

Because when he finally stops bull****ting and admits he's here for GC, he does about as bad a ride as any GC rider I've seen this season. If he'd kept up the pretence of being here for TTs, people wouldn't have cared that he got dropped like a stone, but this is now a humiliation.

There's some middle ground between not able to ride for GC and being this bad. Surely he must be ill or forgot to eat or something to be like that.

 

[Carols]

Chapeau Brambilla, stage and Pink!!!

Bala looks dangerous....hopefully he has a good TT tomorrow.

Tom D. well he was never lying as so many claimed......
