He rode the Tour de l'Ain cyclo earlier today.Climbing said:Alberto and Vincenzo having a chat, just because.
Alberto still super thin.

This is crazy. I wasn't paying attention and then thought, 'wait, was that Berto'. I thought I was hallucinating because he was in France this morningAlexandre B. said:He rode the Tour de l'Ain cyclo earlier today.Climbing said:Alberto and Vincenzo having a chat, just because.

Agreed, even looked like Pedrero dropped him at one point. Herculean ride from him, even the Giro's graphics said it was Héctor, but bib #6 is Pedrero and it does make more sense given Pedrero has been 5th on Acebo when domestiquing for Carapaz and had very creditable finishes on Sierra Nevada, Cumbre del Sol and Los Machucos in the 2017 Vuelta. They're going to rely a lot on Amador and Pedrero I think, Sütterlin and Rojas will handle the flats, Carretero and Más the middle part.HelloDolly said:BTW Landa didnt look so hot today on the climb
He still rides about 300 to 400 km per week, so not that surprisingsilvergrenade said:Surprising that Contador is so fit even now.
I don't know if he made the call or if Rabofail convinced him to stay on the bike.TourOfSardinia said:inexperience.Ciddaman said:Roglic 6 seconda sticky bottle deserve a penalty for sure.

I was thinking, if Roglic didn't think about changing, it could be inexperience. But the DS's should have guided him in this instance.Mayomaniac said:I don't know if he made the call or if Rabofail convinced him to stay on the bike.TourOfSardinia said:inexperience.Ciddaman said:Roglic 6 seconda sticky bottle deserve a penalty for sure.

Didn't work for Carapaz, got dropped, and then gave Roglic something to bridge over to on the climb. 10/10 :lol:HelloDolly said:BTW Landa didnt look so hot today on the climb
Then again carapaz doesn't look nearly as strong as Yates last year. Nibali didn't even try to follow his attacks on stage 13 and 14 and I doubt carapaz could have dropped Nibali today. In fact I think Nibali looked a bit stronger than him. Still fun times ahead. There are more comfy places to be than 1:40 in front of Nibali who is looking to get better and better.Escarabajo said:Carapaz reminds me how Yates was dominating last year. Anything can happen, but I don't think Carapaz will crack. He looks more confident than Yates was at this point. It was probably that TT. The one for this year is too short and Carapaz looks to be on supreme form so I doubt that he will lose too much time on the TT.
I really wanted to see him against Bernal in this shape. Damn crash. And Tom for that matterLaplaz said:Carapaz said before the Giro that he wants to do better than last year (4.). I thought he was crazy, but he proved me wrong.
