2018 Giro d'Italia - STAGE 10: Penne – Gualdo Tadino 239 km

Re: Re:

Utterly breathtaking views

QS have now given it up, Chaves riding himself, game over.

MS need to now take the day off and rest up to support Yates - any more effort today is throwing good money after bad

They guys in the second group has no way to support Yates anyway, so they may as well keep riding.

Stuff can still happen, someone can crash in the front group and change the dynamics

Are you trolling?

The Giro doesn't finish today. Every effort stays with you for the rest of the race. It's time to rest up as they have lots of pulling to do in the next 2 weeks, and there is absolutely nothing to gain today.

This is going to be a looooooooong day for Chris Juul

 

[Laplaz]

Chaves done. MS should save their men, the rest of the Giro will be hard enough.

 

[Lexman]

almost 3 minutes again...

 

[Red Rick]

Yates now has 2 teammates in a group that can't be controlled with 2 riders.

I'd really put in attacks in the final 30km if I were the other GC riders.

 

[Netserk]

6km to the bonus seconds. Will anyone challenge Froome there?

Well, he likes pulling.








(He's weird.)

 

[bigcog]

3.30 now

 

[MrTea1976]

That growing time gap shows what great engines the QS riders have.

For real, this needs to happen

Isolate him

 

[SafeBet]

I sense a Froome attack in the final.

There'll be someone with a reasonable sprint in the group so likely to be a team or 2 with an interest in this staying together now

And tomorrow is a hard day again.

Meanwhile, 4 minutes.

 

[Salvarani]

The MS riders with Chaves is done, they wont be able to go much longer or they will be completely dead in the coming days

Trolling?

That seems like an odd, borderline aggressive way to reply....... like you are emotional and upset?

What is to gain today, is not yet set in stone, and keeping Chavez in contention is important to the team.

Losing 3-4 minutes overall is still workable, because he will still be a threat to many contenders, 10 minutes is not.

A GC contender basically giving up his race, with 100K to go on stage 11, will not happen (if the is healthy)..... stuff can always happen, people can crash.... heck, even Yates can crash, today or another day.

Also, none of the heavy guys are much use tomorrow, with 3 GPMs, so they might as well spend the energy today, and then "rest" in the gruppetto tomorrow.

Yates for green jersey in July?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

what a boss

Re: Re:

What Mitchelton can do now is give up, or try and lose their team strength by wasting as much energy as possible for no gain at all

Indeed. If Chaves is the great team player I'm told, he'll surely be one of the first to realise they need to now save their energy to support Yates.

It's not his call for sure. White need to realize that.

 

[Carols]

Yates thumbing his nose at them!

 

[Der Effe]

Lol is there anything that muppet can't do?

 

[ontheroad]

Yates is like a machine in this Giro, gone to a different level.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yates going for bonus seconds!

Solo it home?

Pinot cooked. Yates was a great track cyclist...most of them can sprint.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Danish commentators just informed me, that Yates has won the worlds points race on track.

Did not know that.... now it makes sense he totally owned Pinot in that sprint

He will win the time trial and next year focus on winning E3 Harelbeke. Geraint Thomas 2.0
