Re:
Not good but Viviani was in a perfect position anyway. Bennett was faster today.Dekker_Tifosi said:
Re:
DvP probably could not decide whether to follow Modolo to the left or Venturini to the right and that slight hesitation has cost him. And then it closed in front of him and there were a few quite close moments between some of the sprinters so little he could do to get to the front.Dekker_Tifosi said:
And after time trial at 25 minutes back upto Etna, Wilier-Triestina managed to mass-disappear in a run-in.
Mareczko somehow managed to spring for 6th place, but he was horribly positioned and with no help from something like 800 metres out. Pitiful team, which doesn't belong in Giro (I got no problem with the rest of Wild Cards).

Great sprint by both Bennett and Viviani. For a slice of a moment it looked like Venturini would make it. But he simply ain't got the speed!
Wilier Triestina is such a useless team. Mareczko certainly has the power to beat Viviani if at least once he would be placed probably during the sprints.

Re: Re:
Boivin at least contested for the former intergiro classification with Androni Giocattoli in the first stages...Dekker_Tifosi said:
Re: Re:
About 6 or 7 teams have GC ambitions so they don't care.
Legs are still pretty fresh aswell, the break will get its chance later on.
Bennett just showed us Viviani can be beaten fair and square.
There are enough teams with a decent sprinter to neutralize possibly dangerous breaks. Eventhough Cavagna can probably just do it on his own.Lequack said:

Re:
This stage was fine. A great sprint stage; no dumb corners. Really let the sprinters measure up.
The stages in Israel needed something, and next Thursday Friday don't need to be a flat stage duo, but I think this non-complicated sprint stage was well placed.

Re: Re:
Hermans showed up fighting in Etna, too... He was both aggressive and finished with a respectable 11th position at 40 seconds back.
Ditto to Ciccone (Bardiani).
But Wilier-Triestina is only out there for Mareczko and they can not even steer him to adequate position - actually no other Wilier-rider finished in a 80+-strong bunch again today. Next one came in 1:19 back which just shows that poor Jakub was completely alone in a decisive moments.
And that after whole team spent their time on a "Sunday ride" at gruppetto throughout Sicily. :redface: :redface: :redface:

Betancur must really have messed up, probably creating a little gap at around 1-2 sec up to De la Parte and Sepulveda who were the last riders in the peloton before the split....
Oh gosh Carlos.
Oh gosh Carlos.
A remarkable fact about Bora's season so far:
They are 13th on the victory ranking but they have only won WT races so far and it is only QuickStep who have won more WT races than them.

Morkov lost that one for Viviani. He had a position to prevent Bennett from getting Elia's backwheel, but relented to more determined rider.
....I'm not saying it was bad decision in a wider picture. Bennett wasn't to let up so it could have ended in a pile-up if Michael didn't budge...
