Re:
Yep, see that now on replay. Just one of those things. At first it looked like a chain drop.
Gavaria gives up pretty quickly the minute he knows he's beat I notice.

Cause he beat basically every sprinter out there already in his first two seasons. He is a bit lacking this Giro so far but he has show on multiple occasions what he is capable of.
Ewan pulled a miracle to stay upright there.
Edit: Also Nibali must feel very confident, that's usually a sign of exceptional form.
Or maybe not who knows, still smart with possible lateral wind and eventual splits.

Re: Re:
He didnt give up, just not strong enough. Maybe bad shape, but I guess he lost a lot of energy trying to get to the front because his team is ***.

Re:
I'm not really a Sky fan, but that is clever riding really. Froome does the same thing to keep safe doesn't he.
Nice top ten for young Ryan Gibbons again.

Re: Re:
He keeps losing his teammates wheels though. To me he looks far from top shape, but hopefully with an easier stage tomorrow he can prove me wrong.Vroome.exe said:

This is very much an Orica strategy- They like to take the pressure off their riders.

Re:
Yes, good bike handling needed there or there would have been a huge crash. All the more impressive because he's so light and presumably got bounced more dramatically than a big lump would have been.

Re: Re:
If you don't think Ewan is the fastest man here then you must be watching a different race to me. Tell me Ewan doesn't win today from that position if not for the incident.

Re: Re:
Are you serious? Whatever you think about Ewan, it was fairly obviously not his fault that he didn't get to sprint there. And he deserves some credit for managing to stay upright in that situation rather than taking out half the peloton with a crash right at the front of a sprint.

Re: Re:
I think his only race in the last few months was Frankfurt. I don't see how he could be in shape right now.

I really don't understand why Ewan seems to attract intense hostility when as far as I can see he's just a talented kid who hasn't done anything notably obnoxious. I didn't care much about him either way, but people sneering at him for no obvious reason is starting to make me like him.
Re:
How did that happen? Katusha did such a great job of bringing him back to the peloton in the last 6 km.Alexandre B. said:
