Great win for Benedetti, first Austro-Hungarian stage win at this Giro.

Disappointed in Jungels and Formolo here.. Yikes

Zakarin not much better.

Roglic played good poker today, saving up for tough stages to come, including tomorrow's. Landa and MAL invested a lot to recoup 29 seconds, but at least they got something for their efforts, and their teams were ready with support riders on the long flat to help save their legs a bit. Nibali and Yates held serve well. It's nice to see this Giro awaken.

Roglic said he didn't felt good on Montoso

6 of top 10 in the stage
Italiano

Hope he's good tomorrow then..........

 

[Son of Amsterhammer]

Jungels will never be what he wants,I fear. Great rider, but these long steep climbs seem to be too hard for him.

Rogla looked so calm, but his lack of team mates has to be a concern and this was only the first test of many!!

Glad Landa and MAL showed something.

Tomorrow should be fun again.

 

[ice&fire]

We need all attacking riders to overtake Mollema in GC ASAP

Re:

Why would he say that if it was true?

 

[F_Cance]

Shame that Brambilla didn't win today. No doubt that he was the strongest today.

No idea honestly, but he said it, so...

 

[Lequack]

A pat on the butt for good work.

 

[HelloDolly]

Yes Roglic was not at his best on climb...pity MS didnt put down the hammer

Last year all attack...this year nada just chase Landa & MAL...sigh

 

[HelloDolly]

But Roglic will probably be strongest tomorrow ....weakness does not follow a plan...sigh

Cause other will work for him, possibly.
Or to justify not pulling 1 meter to avoid creating enemies.
A cyclist never say he feels bad if he does really feel bad
First and Second rule of the Cycling Club.

I'm still surprised how quickly the Jumbo Visma guys fell off basically at the early slopes. But now the other teams know and there's no hiding the weakness in the team. But then again if Jumbo was bossing it with like 3 teammates everyone would be saying it's all over, Sky 2.0, and such.

Exactly as expected for me.
If Pozzo doesn't step up Nibbles is in trouble as well.

 

[HelloDolly]

First rule of cycling club is never to speak about cycling club

Remember Roglic is very honest and also is not very long a cyclist so doesn't understand the subtleties and lies teams tell

Yeah Astana, Movistar and Michelton all with numbers in the end. Especially Chavez looked really good, it's good to see him back in some form.

Roglic is 4’07” behind the pink jersey. Ignoring those unlikely to finish in the Top 10, here are the gaps:

Nibali @ 1’44
Mollema @ 1’55”
Majka @2’53”
Carapaz @3’16”
Carthy @ 3’25”
Zakarin @ 3’38”
Yates @ 3’46”
Lopez @ 4’01”
Kangert @ 4’01”
Sivakov @ 4’11”
Landa @ 4’24”
Chaves @ 4’30”
Jungels @ 4’52”
Formolo @ 5’26”
Oomen @ 5’46”

 

[Lequack]

Obviously Polanc will win this Giro now.

Pozzo was there on the climb and Caruso looked good up ahead .. not an issue

Big losers today are Bilbao ,O' Connor, TG Hart,Jungles & Formolo

 

[Pantani_lives]

Polanc is more likely to finish in the top 10 than Formolo or Jungels after today. He was 11th in the Giro a few years ago.

No surprises here either. But i'm sure Kuss will snap into gear next week
