Ackermann is the best leadout man so farMore Strides than Rides said:Ackerman gave a great leadout for Ewen
Peloton safe and sound, though!
Anderis said:Nice to see Sean Bennett in the top10. As someone above said, he is not a typical sprinter so to see him involved in the sprints in his first ever GT means he seems to cope well with GT levels of fatigue, which bodes well for his future development.

I would wager that the Giro thus far does not reflect normal GT levels of fatigue...
Calm down, we're talking about a neo-pro who hasn't been expected to show anything special this year. It's not that easy to hold wheels and finish top10 in a sprint stage in a middle of a GT if you're a neo-pro and not a pure sprinter or one-in-generation talent.search said:yeah, and 10th in GT sprint is always a good result of course, but it's not like he had to beat many sprinters (that didn't crash yesterday) to achieve that, to be honest.
de Buyst was confirmed to abandon the race as well, but maybe he'll stay around until the rest day. What about Mareczko?tobydawq said:del1962 said:How many DNS tomorrow?
Probably 2.

This result doesn't necessarily forecast big things for him in the future but at least is an indication he has the potential to be a competent pro which is positive enough for a guy who wasn't regularly fighting for wins at u-23 level. I've seen more experienced guys with more sprint-oriented skillset failing to finish inside top10 in stages/races they were supposed to perform. The recent form of his team-mate Sacha Modolo is a good example.
Lol, my dad always used to say the same abou Cipos stage wins at the Tour.Red Rick said:Petition to scrap results of those who abandon Giro for later goals
