Quintana on a casual saturday stroll.

 

[Simurgh]

Pinot 46 seconds behind Quintana...he didn't look good today at any point on the climb, if you ask me

 

[DNP-Old]

What a ride by Egan Bernal!

his pain face didn't look like it was an easy ride...

Beautiful win by Nairo, so casual...

 

[portugal11]

Dennis still could be a threat

 

[Red Rick]

Tom Dumoulin with a good ride. Coud've been a bit better if he hadn't wasted as much energy.

 

[huangho]

Impressive Thomas if you ask me...

Re:

Those attacks from Quintana are pathetic.

He might win this anyway today, but clearly a long way to go in regards to form.

:lol: :lol:

Have you ever ridden on your bike in a headwind? Seems not!

Quintana as strong as expected, astute tactically and really in good shape, but probably only at 90-95%.

 

[DNP-Old]

13th for Bernal in the end, formidable performance.

 

[Hayabusa]

Good stage, nice result for Yates and Thomas. Quintana was never going to be stopped.

Seems like Quintana can destroy the field whichever way he wants on climbs these days. Go from the bottom like on Covadonga or Mas de la Costa, or just drop everyone in the final stages. Difficult to see how the Giro won't be an absolute walk over - with the amount of climbs he could easily win it by well over 5 minutes.

Where the hell did TJ end up?

I know quintana is your second favourite rider but do you think that he should not be in great shape, like he is, for a guy who is attempting giro-tour? I think he will be overcooked after il giro

I still think Froome will have the upperhand in the Tour, with or without Giro in the legs.

 

[DNP-Old]

Castroviejo at 1.01 and Dennis at 1.06 could still very well be threats.

Yup, Quintana cannot TT.

 

[frisenfruitig]

Who are the other top favorites for the Giro? I'm not quite up to speed on who is riding the Giro or the Tour (or both). If guys like Pinot/Nibali etc are hoping to beat Quintana... God have mercy on their souls

 

[Netserk]

It really is a shame that he rides as generously as Valverde.

Re: Re:

G learned from the best about measuring your efforts.

Team Sky's team doctor?

What an f'in joke that guy is.

Shouldn't these sort of posts be in the clinic ? Or is this forum now going to be polluted with the same stuff from now on ?

Calm down a bit....lets see him face a fully fit Dawg in July then you can say he " can destroy the field whichever way he wants on climbs"
