Re: Re:
But don't you think fully loaded sprint teams -the kind we expect in the tour- would have kept it controlled?
This stage was awesome, but I don't want the formula for awesome racing to be "all the best sprinters and leadouts are racing somewhere else"

Re: Re:
Well done by Bennett, way to earn a win.
He was on the limit, he actually got gapped with about 3km to go. If he had a little more left he would've at least tried to get on Bennett's wheel.DFA123 said:

Yeah she is incredibly hot. Still wouldn't wanna be a sprinter for various reasons tho.craigmalone said:

Second that!!
I just got to see the last 20 kilometers, but some great racing we got! I love the rain for the potential for carnage it brings!

Re:
Whereas Viviani might be sick to get dropped twice before they even reached the climb. What a turn aroundmovingtarget said:
I think most girls find the sprinter body more attractive than the climber body, tbh.
Bad news for us who likes to ride uphill.

Re: Re:
Yep, it's not really his fault if his legs are empty, but I can understand why Mohoric would be pissed off with him.carton said:
Re:
Ya, or those who have us who have bodies that help downhills go faster
Turns out I've mutual friends with Sam Bennett's on Facebook. Think I just found Sagan's actual Facebook account too cos of it

Re:
I think the form was there - both the speed and on the hills - but he was too eager to get his first GT stages and kept going too early in the first sprints. Once he relaxed it’s a different story.

Points competition is getting closer.
Viviani 184 pts
Bennett 162 pts
Noone else over 100 points.

Re:
UAE a huge disappointment in this race. Aru not being good, Ulissi invisible...EroicaStradeBianche said:
Re: Re:
All the season I would say. Kristoff, D. Martin, Rui Costa, Atapuma and Polanc have done pretty nothing. Mohoric left them and it's flying, Guardini made his only season with 0 victories with them last year, Cunego and Pozzato faded at Lampre (it's the same management) but now they don't have anymore the excuse of being a low budget team

Re: Re:
Apparently Saronni wants to sign Luca Guercilena as the new manager to replace them.EroicaStradeBianche said:
Re: Re:
What has Guercilena done except from being Cancellara's coach? Built a team for the Giro where the only relevant rider is Bambilla? Androni looks like a WT compared to Trek at this Giro. Bar Stuyven Trek has done nothing this season.
I remember also Contador going to the Vuelta with a team of ruleurs... these are not tactical problems of the Ds, these are poor-management related problems. Saronni and Guercilena should ask themselves a few question...

Just watched the final 30 kilometers and that was great. Had a little heart attack when the Eurosport Germany commentator said it was Konrad who won and was pretty disappointed when I saw it was Bennett
Anyway, the last three days really gave me the giro 2015 vibes with something happening every day. Grand tour racing just like it should be
