Froome always looks down so it's no problem for him.

Today was really textbook tactics and maybe its reversed tomorrow with Carapaz attacking or something. Its a dynamic duo and they really use to need to use it.HelloDolly said:Landa finish just 18 seconds in front of Carapaz ...if he has waited fro last 6 km he probably would have got more time ...just saying
Its heads that win bike races not just legs
Landa isn't riding against Carapaz. He's riding against Roglic and Nibali, and he succeeded in taking a lump of time back today. However he was tired in the final 3 km, when he lost about ten seconds to Zakarin surprisingly.HelloDolly said:Valv.Piti said:Cant really use that kind of logic tbh.

Well I cant really use your reply...so rude ..If Landa went at 6km ...not 1 or 2... you deliberately misread .... he could have gone harder and no it does not follow the group would stay together ..its a legitimate view
It is not about facial impression it is about good recovery. This race is still ongoing.Scarponi said:Ditto MajkaSon of Amsterhammer said:Going purely on facial expressions and bike body language, Landa and Molli could be in for a world of pain tomorrow.

Chris Froome is lucky, we in the USA have no coverage, zero. I guess Europe feels like USA are unworthy, we are not worthy of watching your Giro.Lequack said:Humblebrag from Chris Froome:

jaylew said:I don't think he was as bad as it seemed. I think there's a decent chance he'd have been with Nibali and Roglic if not for the mechanical.roundabout said:jaylew said:Maybe. I don't know. I think Nibali and Roglic were more on the limit than that. Not sure about Mollema but I think Zakarin would have been somewhere in the Carapaz/Majka/NIbali/Roglic vicinity if he hadn't been in the break. And Carapaz and Majka look to be at least as strong as Roglic and Nibali. I'd add Lopez as well - he's a bit harder to judge because of how his day went with the mechanical.luckyboy said:Roglic and Nibali never gave 100% here
Good gains for guys like Zakarin and Mollema but they won't get that from the breakaway every day. Landa and the big two still look strongest.
Iow, I don't at all think that Nibali and Roglic look like the clear strongest at this point but time will tell.
Lopez was bad. Mechanical or not, Kangert, Madouas and Polanc finished within 20 seconds of him.
