2016 Giro d'Italia - Stage 8 Foligno – Arezzo 186 km

[ILovecycling]

Action by Valverde

Pozzo back!

 

[Scarponi]

Puncture for Scarponi or bird

 

[Eclipse]

Really good stuff from Valverde today forcing this selection. Don't think it's too hard for him to go again during the finale either.

Re:

Fuglsang mechanical . No no no no

Chain dropped during a shift

 

[TomLPC]

These lot might come to regret not helping Bala here

 

[The Blues]

Fuglsang problems with the chain seconds before he rejoined Valverde-Nibali-group. Damn.

 

[markene2]

Noooo birdsong puncture

 

[Vroome.exe]

Brambilla super strong

 

[Arredondo]

Landa's back

 

[Scarponi]

Teams put people on the top with wheels. Too high for bird song lol

Re:

Brambilla, like Rosa in 2014, auditioning for the Astana train.

He still has a year left on his contract with Etixx and I doubt they want to let him go after this season. It's the first he's performing up to his potential in 4 years

Re:

That's what I was thinking. Landa is back now and he'll probably only get better as the race goes on.

 

[gunara]

Dumoulin worse than expected.

Yes, and I'm not even one of his GC-aspiration believer.

 

[pink_jersey]

Bad luck for Birdsong...
Landa is back. But he'll be the first to get dropped again.

 

[Climbing]

Moviestar perfect tactic, well done.
Landa and Dum ain't far back though, 15-20 sec.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Etixx leading the pink jersey group?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

But the gap is only 15secs

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Fuglsang back with Dumoulin. Dammit, Maglia rosa lost because of a chain drop

 

[rainman]

TD lost the wheel

Me neither but I thought he could hang in there until Corvara. Valverde clearly thought otherwise

 

[The Blues]

Fuglsang just rode away from MR-group, it seems. So he's feeling good.

 

[gunara]

Dumoulin look really bad, something's wrong.

Unbelievable. He was a chance to get the pink jersey

 

[Akuryo]

Re:

They want to keep Jungels in white.

 

[Domulec]

So all the people saying Dumoulin was just playing a game were just plain wrong.
