Ciccone rules!

 

[Salvarani]

Lopez dropped

 

[fuiers]

What a rider!

 

[Climbing]

Extremely well deserved for Ciccone!

 

[Scarponi]

Wow what a win !

 

[Carols]

Yes, Yes Ciccone!!! He earned that Big Time

 

[armchairclimber]

Get in Ciccone. Deserved stage victory. Fast becoming one of my favourite riders.

Re:

The damages of this stage will be known this weekend... Flu issues coming soon...

Yup, even if you dont get sick you need a good recovery to not crack or get dropped in the coming days.

 

[VWeekend21]

Congrats to Ciccone!

Motorpacing today was just pathetic.The literllay stole the Giro today from Roglič.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Masnada 3rd = no bonus seconds for the GC guys

 

[Scarponi]

That would have been the loneliest last 30km for Masnada

Re: Re:

No team cars behind the Carapaz/Nibs group, so gap is probably short to Roglic.

It is plenty of cars behind

No TEAM cars dude - which means the gap is less than a minute

You're wrong. He's 1'20" behind.

Which is why the team cars have NOW been moved forward...... I don't even know why you want to debate this? - Everyone knows team cars behind you require 1 minute + gap

It's not even a debate. They handclocked the gap while you're assuming things based on no evidence.

I missed MAL getting dropped on a flat.

Re:

Me too! He is grabbing me this race

 

[Scarponi]

Majka is a looooong way back

 

[Laplaz]

Nibali looked fresh as a daisy at the finish line

 

[sir fly]

Excellent stage!
Great ride from everybody.

Based on no team cars being behind the group....... for the whole world to see, on live TV.... but hey, if you wanna argue about it, go ahead

 

[TourOfSardinia]

in the end just 1m20s taken by Nibali from Roglic

 

[Simurgh]

Majka back to earth - two or three levels below the best as expected

 

[Climbing]

Nibali looked fresh as a daisy, there's still hope.
Look out tomorrow after an harsh day.

 

[Salvarani]

Re:

He was speeding right after finish line, probably to get to the bus but still... Looked like he was "fresh" or at least had energy left. Hopefully a good omen.

 

[fuiers]

So happy for Trek and Ciccone.

So the answers are getting revealed:

Nibs vs Carapaz

anybody else is fighting for 3rd

 

[RedheadDane]

Nice win by Ciccone.
