Utterly crazy stage, Never imagined

Re: Re:

Rog/Nib at 2:56.

They both tried 2/3 times each, but they're pretty level at the moment.

Yep. Good for Rog, not for Nibs.

I get the feeling that the time earned back from each of Nibs rivals will end up hurting them tomorrow where both him and Rog both seems to be riding within themselves. So I do not think it's nearly that bad for Nibs

Is it good for Roglic though? We kept saying he only has to care about Nibali but Mollema and more importantly Landa (together with his teammate Carapaz) are way too dangerous now to keep ignoring them. He will have to start defending against more than just one rider and with his team that could be very hard.
On the other hand, Yates and Lopez seem to be out of the equation for good.

Or simply as I suspected, neither of them is the best climber in the race...

Don't forget Zaka.

Re:

Zaka around 40 seconds behind Roglic now

Don't forget the bonus seconds

 

[Poursuivant]

Carapaz the winner of the day.

 

[HelloDolly]

Some of those riders looked shattered .....Nibali is wise ...its a long game
Some will pay tomorrow ..Majka, Mollema, Landa looked knackered

I think he and Roglic looked good ...just both know the other is the one to watch

 

[pink_jersey]

Landa was great today. I think the GC is now:
1. Polanc
2. Roglic
3. Mollema
4. Nibali
6, Carapaz

Carapaz seems to in incredible form. If tomorrow race blows from the start he can win this. He is climbing at an insanely level.

 

[Lequack]

Imagine Zakarin winning the Giro.

Landa was great today. I think the GC is now:
1. Polanc
2. Roglic
3. Mollema
4. Nibali
6, Carapaz

Carapaz seems to in incredible form. If tomorrow race blows from the start he can win this. He is climbing at an insanely level.

I think Zakarin is in third no? He should have 1 minute advantage on Nibali now.

 

[Arked]

I'm glad Majka and Carapaz are ok. I was a bit worried they fell of the cliff or something, since I didn't see them even once after they dropped Roglic and Nibali.

I think Zakarin is between Nibali and Mollema

Why not Zakarin? Stage win and moved up the most on GC.

Landa quality, lose a packet in the tt then attack like a madman in the mountains, old school climber

Re:

After the show I can forgive RCS for not going to the top of Nivolet

Would have been epic if they could have cleared it

Yeah, already edited my post, he looked incredible today. Hardly lost any time to Landa and actually gained time on him once he attacked Mollema

Re:

Landani is like Pantani.

Not even Close!

 

[Eshnar]

I'm pretty sure both Nibali and Roglic could have done more than they did, but still didn't feel great and didn't want to risk blowing up.
Movistar duo looking the strongest, tomorrow Carapaz is gonna look like Robobasso on San Carlo.

 

[Lequack]

Zakarin should ne now about 28 seconds behind Roglic, well into 2nd place.

 

[HelloDolly]

Mollema rode well...remember he was riding to make the break and keep it going....cracked at the end but looked good too

But Zakarin benefited most from Treks work

 

[fuiers]

Love it. Landa saying in interview he will continue like this until race reaches Verona and at the same time looks like he could cough his lungs out.

They both think the other is one to watch, but they will end up wrong cause neither of them will win this Giro!

Nibali played a risky card tactically but I guess he is very confident in what he can do. He forced Roglic to work and let him decide how close he wants to be to Landa/Carapaz and a few more. Roglic will have a lot on his hands next days.

Re: Re:

Great day for Zakarin but Carapaz followed wheels all day, sat in when team mate Landa attacked, ends up putting very nice time into Nibali and Roglic, and lost only 18 seconds to Landa after all his hard work.

The camera never showed them but he also put 30” into Majka in a relatively short period of time, I’m very impressed.

History repeats for Mitchelton Scott - Last year at the TDF, surprisingly Nieve got into the break of the second mountain stage and A.Yates popped - Today, Nieve gets into the break of the second mountain stage which suggests MS knew their leaders had problems on both days.

He'll be on Mortirolo, no worries
