Nibali has a big chance to take the pink.

Re: Re:

Landa beating Nibali in TT affects my appetite for this race a little

He isn't (yet). Nibali 3 secs quicker.

well, that is a vicotory for Landa anyway

 

[tristecsinamigos]

Urán just said he fell and had to change bike...

 

[TMP402]

Valverde 7 secs slower than Landa at intermediate 3 though.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Chaves behind Pozzovivo
+1.28 from Landa

Bob Jungels to be the Dumoulin of this Giro. I hope he surprises us all.

 

[saganftw]

soooo Jungels in pink now?

 

[b.broadhurst]

Nibali gains 7s on Landa

 

[Arredondo]

Landa the big winner!

Re: Re:

Yes! Igor Anton crushes Uran in the long TT.

Beaten by less than 5 seconds isn't being crushed. But it's funny nonetheless.

It is when Igor Anton is just going through the motions and still beats you

Not strong from Chaves. Going to need to work hard in the mountains. Nibali on the other hand very strong. Loves the rain and the corners.

 

[carolina]

nibali 7 seconds faster then landa

 

[TMP402]

There you go. Nibali 7 secs quicker than Landa at the finale.

 

[del1962]

How far on time was Jungels down?

7 seconds on Landa doesn't represent a great ride from Nibali, Landa has put in the best performance versus expectation of all the GC men.

 

[SeriousSam]

Do we know whether Landa is the same weight as last year

 

[Poursuivant]

I am loving the fact there won't be that much of a GC shakeup, the more in the mix the better.

 

[GdaG]

thank god i put 20 euros on Landa back when he was at 5.8 in february!!

 

[Climbing]

Nibali very sad, one of his team guys died in a car accident today, 14 years old.

 

[b.broadhurst]

Landa gains 4s on Valverde.

I disagree. This was not a bad time from Nibali. Landa just grotesquely fast

Would have been better for the race if the best climber lost more time tbf

 

[Guybrush]

Nibali talking in 3rd person, of course he isn't arrogant!

 

[KyoGrey]

Landa and Valverde perfectly placed in the GC after the timetrial.

 

[Rollthedice]

Cycling as we know it is over. Landa better than Valverde ina 40 k ITT.
