2017 Giro d'Italia, Stage 3 - Tortoli - Cagliari 148km

[Flamin]

Gaviria!! And Jungels MOTM, incredible ride.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Quickstep worked that sprint very well. Looked like they deliberately boxed Nizzolo in.

Gav ! What a way to respond to the doubters.

Jungels really is a beast. Wasted trying to be a GT GC contender. Should be doing the cobbled classics.

 

[Carols]

Darned exciting final 12 km! QS does everything Right, Kudos!

 

[Arredondo]

Kruijswijk, Nibali, Dumoulin, Zakarin, Pozzo all in the first group for sure

Anyone missing?

 

[mcduff]

That was one hell of a burst of speed

 

[portugal11]

Who was the hotstepper who blocked nizzolo?

Re:

Gav is much better than the overhyped Ewan.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Very poor to not let Jungels get the win.

 

[sir fly]

Entertaining dozen kilometres. The gains could've been more significant, though.
Every region should provide a stage of GC importance. That's how the race should look alike.

Congrats to Gaviria and QS.
Excellent team.

Apparently Richeze.

 

[Flamin]

Why on earth does Jungels want to be a climber??

Re:

On the replay it looked less clever than simply like deliberate cheating by Richeze.

 

[Carols]

Was Narito in the 2nd group?

Ewan is maybe faster in a flat sprint. But Gaviria is the completer rider without a doubt.

yes.

Quintana, Pinot and Thomas as well.
Landa missed the split.

Gaviria silencing the doubters with a stage win & maglia Rosa

 

[johnymax]

Jungels is such a beast!

 

[Eagle]

Why didn't Siutsou wait for Nibali's group?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Re:

Not sure that Nizzolo and Selig would have just sat back to allow that.

 

[Orbit501]

Good racing!
Your top sprinter isn't in top form for a flat out head to head sprint, cross winds, your team are great in cross winds. All makes perfect sense.

Great ride by Nizzolo to to make that split after yesterdays performance. Very encouraging for him after the lay off.

Re:

No point. No GC threats in the first group.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

I like Gaviria and think he's a huge talent, but beating Selig in a two up sprint says nothing much about his sprint form. That he was there to do it shows he's a strong guy in the wind, but it would have been a disaster had he managed to lose the sprint.

Meh, not good for Landa
