I hate eurosport commercials

 

[huangho]

The pace is preety high... Too hard to attack!

 

[HelloDolly]

Getting down safe is the main thing today

 

[SafeBet]

It does not make sense for Nibali to attack now. Carapaz has Amador who can pull in the false flat. It'd be useless.

 

[HelloDolly]

Amador is also a demon descender

This stage, yes. It would be madness to risk it all on the descent.

No way...today he gets rid of Primoz there is time to get rid of Carapaz

Movistar has really had the tactics right so far this Giro.

Why is Nibali not trying to bridge to MAL?

MAL is behind Nibali

MAL is not a threat for him ATM, his race is with Carapez

 

[IndianCyclist]

Carapaz vs Nibali now

Re:

in the gc yes, in the stage very much no

True but what about a bridge to the MAL group? Then he's not just working solo against the Movistar group.

Riding with the 2 Astana guys would give him a chance to get some time over Carapaz

went for a pee

Thought MAL dropped

Not because he's concerned with MAL but to get help in making time on Carapaz.

Contador would have loved Cicionne as a domestique at Trek

Ciccone would have loved Contador as a domestique at Trek
