Nibali bad legs

 

[Simurgh]

Carapaz takes 6-7 seconds on Nibali

Re:

Nibali and Roglic already racing for 2nd place

They were cooked.
Nibali just said on RAI that he wasn't on a good day and he's happy to have limited his losses.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Yeah Nibali definitely looked troubled, and you could see that he talked on the radio when Pozzovivo went to the front. Probably calling him to ease off a bit. 7 seconds loss is fairly good, considering this.

 

[Scarponi]

Can’t believe the commentators are saying Landa would be pissed at Carapez for taking the extra seconds

Stage

Caparaz 4:38
Nibali 4:45

 

[RattaKuningas]

There is no stopping Carapaz now. Nobody can beat him at the moment.

 

[Rollthedice]

Well, that's it then.

 

[hfer07]

good to see Chavito back in action

 

[Laplaz]

Peters won with an incredible gap. Impressive!

Nibali not so good today. Will strike back for sure on Saturday!

Re:

Movistar riding so brilliantly in this Giro.

Tactics become just that bit easier when you have the strongest riders.

GC:

 

[Simurgh]

Kind of lucky, that Nibali is having an off-day today and losing a couple of seconds only.

 

[hfer07]

What we have here is Carapaz a the GC winner while Nibs and Landa fight for podium honors

Re:

Unless he crashes out, Carapaz has got this one sewn up. Interestingly, positions 2, 3, and 4 are wide open. Landa looks like a good shot for the podium. Nibali probably needs a few more seconds on Roglic before the TT. . . . If it weren't for Carapaz ruining the party, this would be a barn-burner for the Giro title. :lol: Chapeau to Carapaz. He is the strongest and has earned every bit of his lead for the pink jersey.

Majka lost 1'20" to Landa in a couple of km. Might a tough weekend for him.

Everyone saying it's over lol everything can still change, Giro 2016 and 2018 docet.

Indeed, it's not over until it is over!

Re:

You don't think Roglic will top Landa? Given likely TT finish, Landa will need to find 2 minutes on Roglic. Not that he can't but Roglic looked OK today.

On another note -- given how much time Masnada has spent out front on mountain stages in the last month, is he a PT prospect? Or just picking his spots? I'd barely heard of him before the Tour of the Alps.

 

[Scarponi]

Stage 20 still has me slightly scared for Carapez

 

[HelloDolly]

What we have here are a group of people who just love to be pessimistic

And who you would think have never seen a GT ....Everyone has a bad day and if this is Nnibali's then I would take that

Remember Carapaz has not had one yet

I still stand by my believe the race will be won in Verona and Friday & Saturday are the days for Nibali ...not a one climb that's suits Carapaz
And Landa is the main threat

Addy Ingles is about 1 million times more positive than you lot
Its not over till its over

 

[Simurgh]

On Danish Eurosport Riis really have confidence in himself hahaha :lol: Don't know about that Jesper guy though

 

[Bolder]

Also -- how is Bauke Mollema ahead of Lopez? By rights Lopez should be in 2nd-3rd-4th right now. He's a really strong rider who might not be applying his skills in the most efficient way.

 

[SafeBet]

I actually think this was a really good day for Nibali. If Movistar had attacked earlier he could've lost a minute.

So unless he has bad luck in a crash or illness or just randomly blows up with no energy then it's over. Anything can happen, but in a normal situation it's Carapaz's Giro.

Stage 3 was a pretty bad day. He lost 46 seconds lol. If that doesn't count then Nibali losing a few seconds doesn't eithe.
