Re: Re:

+ Polanc is a better climber and could potentially sneak a half decent GC. He was 11th in 2017

Yates is now about 8 virtual minutes down and no men in the break. Wouldn't it be wise for MS to work a bit?

Probably too busy eating pringles for backstage pass to think about it.

:lol:

Errrm, Yeh well, errrmmm, I can only, errmmmm, say 3 words errmmmm at once so, errrmmmm

Re:

UAE much better this year ..wonder if the addition of Stephens and Peiper has made the difference

Jeroen Swart, scientific VO2 max testing and healthy food.

The guys in the peloton have had it so tough the past couple of days so they deserve a rest.

Re:

Nice tactics by UAE. Let's see when Jumbo will hit the front.

UAE team change the leader of the race - Conti to Polanc
Beautiful race of the team.
If the stage was over now Roglic was virtually 5m from Polanc, it could be dangerous ...

 

[Laplaz]

Ten minutes now.

 

[fuiers]

At what point will the mountain come. How many KMs left?

Re:

About 40, 60 left.

Re:

I think it's dangerous for Roglic, 6m is virtually difficult to take on Polanc. UAE to give everything to keep the maglia rosa

Re:

Giro is over

 

[Climbing]

I think Roglic doesn't care at all, it's getting dangerous tbh.

 

[Red Rick]

Polanc was 11th in the 2017 Giro, but didn't finish top 10 in any mountain stage after winning Etna from a breakaway. Basically shipping minutes left right and centre but he got 5 minutes in a breakaway stage that Rolland won.

 

[Climbing]

There's Cataldo though, that is quite risky.

 

[Rollthedice]

Everybody is relaxed, Trek will soon move up to protect Mollema's top 10 place.

I think you overestimate Polanc a bit... Trek, MTS and Bahrein will also want to catch him, because he's more a danger for their podium. Roglic should still be quite comfortable giving Polanc a 5-6 minute advantage with all that climbing coming.

 

[spalco]

I hope Polanc crosses the finish line with 2 hours advantage, this is stupid.

Re:

Indeed. Soon.

 

[repre]

Polanc vs Bakelants for GC?)))

 

[Laplaz]

Polanc 13 minutes ahead of Yates in GC right now.

Re:

Everywhere you look lately in cycling you stumble upon at least one Slovenian.

 

[MartinGT]

Have the clocks stopped in the DS's cars?

 

[Red Rick]

I believe the only way for Conti to extend his stay in the pink jersey is to make sure he wears it for as long as possible

today.

 

[Alexandre B.]

AG2R absolutely catastrophic.

 

[MartinGT]

14 minutes now

WTF
