Rain & new tarmac - not good!

 

[Climbing]

Oh wow it's raining cats and dogs!

 

[Salvarani]

Weather might cause some gaps on the climb

 

[Red Rick]

I just thought of the simple fact that the Col de Manse is also only 5%.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Wiat, is the peloton coming back?!

 

[Climbing]

Re:

Wiat, is the peloton coming back?!

No if they don't accelerate.

 

[Red Rick]

The gap will decrease faster as they get close to the top normally.

Bart de Clercq lost 24 seconds in the last km alone back in 2011, and he didn't come from the breakaway.

 

[Rollthedice]

The break is doomed.

Re:

Agree. Go Pinot for the stage win.

 

[Sestriere]

Astana preparing plan B

 

[Red Rick]

Peloton is still big and can go way faster.

 

[wirral]

Woof woof.

 

[Climbing]

Small problem for Froome, should be alright.

Re: 2018 Giro d'Italia stage 8: Praia a Mare - Montevergine

What was that

 

[Samamba]

Lol Froome.

Schachmann to win this?

I see Battaglin is still there, well...

 

[Red Rick]

Uphill crash. There can be only one.

 

[spalco]

Sky just can't catch a break in the Giro, strange how that works.

 

[Rollthedice]

Menchov is back.

 

[Climbing]

Yeah he fell on his right flank in that hairpin.

 

[Salvarani]

Crashed on same side of his body he crashed before on...
