Re: Re:

I hope Ackermann can continue.

I think he looked ok.

Yeah, looked ok although he might be aching tomorrow.

Moschetti couldn't stand up minutes after the crash. It was a bit worrying. Anybody's got news on his health?

According to Selig Guarnieri gave him a wave, he had to slam the breaks and try to avoid him and Ackermann behind him couldn't do anything anymore. Typical sprint crash.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Thanks god we saw Moschetti sitting up... that looked so bad hope he isn't too badly hurt

 

[F_Cance]

Moschetti always with bad luck. Never causing it, but most of the time crashing bc of others mistakes. Hope it isn't as bad as it looked like.

I suspect Ackermann will be out of the running for The Sprint Jersey if Demare sprints well as he will struggle in tomorrow's stage - And Demare will finish the Giro.

Chad Haga with a average heart rate of 88. If you're not really into all that science stuff, your heart rate is probably around 50-70 while sitting on your pc reading this post and your max heart rate is probably around 180-200.

Damn Po Valley.

Hard to imagine Ackermann finishing this bike race.

My annoyance at the stage caused a higher HR than a rider in the stage

Démare gaining three votes after the race finished

At least they got it right))

Bora say there are no fractures, "only abrasions and contusions".

Re:

Well, I think he's a pretty likely bet ... I also just voted for him ...

 

[Scarponi]

10 stages and not a single QS victory. Last time this happened was in 2015.

Which is weird because 2015 Astana went mental even on medium stages and transition stages while this giro is 12 stages of yawn

Mentally not physically. But I guess that won't help Yates he will still be "de-training" himself. Tomorrow is another pancake flat snoozefest - except its 206km. Another 5 hours of de-training coming up if the teams go as slow as today.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I have never heard of such a thing as de-training before today when Yates mentioned it (resting/training lightly the last week toward a GT) and then not really putting in big efforts in the first week apart from stage 9 (and the 12 minutes on stage 1), but it somewhat made sense to me. I think its a thing you at least gotta consider when training for a GT - if it has a light beginning, you can maybe go a bit harder the week leading up to the event.

 

[Red Rick]

Why not do work on the rollers or extra work on the rest day to prevent that from happening?

He's describing tapering and extending it into the first week of the GT.

Lopez, Landa and a few others were also "detraining" and that's why they cracked in San Marino? I think the explanation lies in 200km + stages apparently boring and easy but with lots of bad weather, about 15.000 m elevation combined (didn't check but read somewhere), a few light crashes for some and then the big day in San Marino with real bad rain, weather and a brutal effort. The hard men survived, Roglic proved to be tough, Nibali we knew and suprise Mollema. The others didn't, Yates the most striking example.

Re:

Haha, i was one of two who voted for Démare.

I was the other - I assumed Tonton had picked him too. Good pick!

I didn't told you personally. I told the whole community nothing personal
