2 danes in the Giro, 2 danes in the break - can't complain

I read the list a few times and there's no Jungle Bob.

It would have been too good to be true. The next two stages are his best chance to save his Giro with a stage win.

Movistar has to melt the iron while it's hot. This stage is their best opportunity to pull the hammer on Roglic.

Surely DQ is only stage hunting now?

Edit: Nevermind, read the second part now

Good to get Jungle Bob out of the way early so we don't have to get his mention again when he comes in at 20 minutes today.

Re:

Mortirolo times:

Basso-Nibali-Scarponi 44:39 in 2010, a Giro also finishing in Verona. from here, the most trusted climbing times site:

Needless to say one of those three greats is riding today.

Not much advance given to the attackers, might Carapaz try to get the stagewin for bonus seconds?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Damn, Gotti must have carbed the *** up to beat that time from little Marco with the flying ears.

Majka saying he felt horrible Sunday. Rest day helped but he knows Carapaz and Nibali are stronger for now. Today and tomorrow is for damage limitation

Aye if it was a race for fatties

The presence of Caruso and A.Nibali on the breakaway should hurt an offensive strategy of Movistar before Mortirolo. Landa's only hope is an attack of Lopez or Yates

Kirby using Contador as a metric of weight now.

Asking his co commentator if he weighted 2 Contadors at one particular moment he crashed in a descent

I guess the last time anyone considered to attack before Mortirolo was before Gavia was taken out anyway, wasn't it?!

For Landa it'll be mainly about the stage win, I guess, and that's still very much within reach - if Carapaz can jump to him and they'll move up in GC together, even better.
