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

[WKA311]

Yeah, there is probably no one deserving this win more than Benedetti. The ultimate teamplayer and workhorse.

Amstel reprise

Nice to see Landa and Lopez attacking early on. Whats not nice is to see forums crash in 2019 when 10 or more users are online. Get this act together already.

Lopez and Landa getting back what they will lose on the final TT

30-35 seconds gap

[Hugo Koblet]

29 seconds won.

Not a massive recovery from Lopez and Landa, but half a minute is just fine for a stage like this. And for their self-confidence.

 

[Salvarani]

Only 28 seconds in the end. At least they didnt have to spend a lot energy on the flat though with helpers.

Roglic probably spent the least amount of energy today though

Disappointed in Jungels and Formolo here.. Yikes

The mods have said they brought it up with the site administration, but nothing is being done.

If you're listening, and if it's any leverage, I will turn off my ad-blocker for a forum that can handle more traffic during this Giro

Jungels clearly did the right thing by ditching the Ardennes classics, eh?

Using a VPN usually solves the problem for what is worth.
I'm using the Opera built in one when it happens for example.

Congrats for Roglic for saving as much energy as he possibly could. Majka looked sharp and lively, but finished s.t.

 

[repre]

O'Connor blew up and lost all chances for top-10?

 

[Laplaz]

There will be some sore legs in the next three days

 

[SafeBet]

You spend your whole career working for others and then get your first pro win at the freaking Giro d'Italia.
Nicely done Benedetti, you gave me goosebumps.

 

[HelloDolly]

where was Pello Bilabo ?

 

[fuiers]

I'm sure somebody from Bora can give Benedetti a lesson how to properly open up a bottle of champagne.

The team has certainly opened a lot of campaign this year

That's a missed opportunity for Nibali and Yates. They had Roglic isolated, but instead of attacking on the flat they told their teammates to work. Roglic doesn't have to worry about a lack of support. About five other teams have done the work for him today.

Great attack by López and Landa. Hopefully Astana and Movistar will continue attacking like this.

 

[Carols]

UAE=Big Winners, great plan and it worked! Chapeau Benedetti, great ride.

Roglic left isolated early. The only man he needs to watch right now is Nibali and as soon as Nibali moved he was there. LOL he did nothing except keep up with Nibali. Good move save the legs for when they are needed.

Forza Vince, he looked good .

I agree. One thing the Finnish commentators said that Roglic seemed to be alone in the group. Yates and Nibali had domestiques both. That is one thing what will exploit Roglic even more in the coming days in my opinion.
