2019 Giro d'Italia Stage 12: Cuneo - Pinerolo 158km

[BalearicBeats]

Wowo Katusha actually seem to have a good team here

 

[Scarponi]

Why are Ineos pulling ?

 

[Salvarani]

Great... now Knees and Haller will chase

 

[Forever The Best]

So many mercenaries.

Re:

Why would Roglic work? The attackers are 5+ minutes down and far more of a threat to other riders in the group, and it's better for him to stay out of pink for another day at least.

This.

Roglic should just sit back and relax.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I think they should be able to gain 20-30 seconds from this. Not much, but still... at least it shows they are up to the task.

They don't know how to do anything else

I think people were more saying "why are the other teams chasing", and not "why is Roglic not chasing".

 

[Valv.Piti]

Also happy to see Chaves in great shape again. Thats good for the sport.

I guess it gives a slight mental edge, but really they cannot even be safe in the knowledge that they were actually stronger today, because they were let go by the biggest rivals

Sutterlin blows

 

[Salvarani]

Damn, Sutterlin done

 

[woodburn]

If Landa and Lopez get closer to Roglic that benefits the other contenders since it forces Roglic to potentially take more people seriously with no team.

Especially true for Yates and Nibali who are looking at race as win or nothing. Fighting for second or third really isn't important.

 

[luckyboy]

Brambilla should win then

 

[Scarponi]

Wow that’s steep

Nibali yeah, he doesn't care I guess. But Yates' palmares isn't really impressive enough yet to snub his nose at a GT podium.

 

[Salvarani]

Cataldo

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Cataldo was positioned to win the stage, and Astana asks him to stop and wait for 10 minutes.

Insane decision

 

[glassmoon]

lol

 

[Forever The Best]

Benedetti, wow. Amazing for a non-climber like him.

 

[Salvarani]

Benedetti

That was great

 

[Laplaz]

Woow, what a finale! So happy for Benedetti.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Nice win for Benedetti, worked out perfectly for him.

 

[Climbing]

Great masterpiece!

 

[sir fly]

Excellent ride by Benedetti.
Knows himself very well.

A good introduction to the mountains.
