2019 Giro d'Italia, stage 7: Vasto - L'Aquila 185 km

[Climbing]

Mid section of the climb is quite hard, if my legs remember correctly (not that the rest would be easy for my standard )

 

[Rollthedice]

The hardest climb yet in this Giro?

 

[spalco]

Hm, gap's closing in on 1 minute now. Are they really that concerned about Formolo?

Re:

Break is not gonna get caught, is it? UAE will be satisfied with keeping them within 2 minutes and I dont see any contenders wanting to go for it 100%.

It's a technical final, the GC guys will use their trains to stay on the front, naturally making the speed very high in the chase.

Re: Re:

Gaviria, disappionting season again so far, expected him to take a step this year but nothing special.

amazing how many riders seem to regress with they leave QS

He wasn't that good last year, if you ask me. The regression has been going on almost since he turned pro.

But fair enough if this is an injury. It wouldn't make sense to leave the race today, otherwise.

Before the Giro he wasn't good also. Just expected a lot more from him after 2017.

Formolo gonna sneak in an easy grab of a minute or two on GC.

 

[Lequack]

Tomorrow Yates should go in the break. He's already 6 minutes behind so no threat in the GC.

 

[Blanco]

Rojas will be in pink tomorrow

 

[Red Rick]

And they literally let the break have it

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Anyboby have a clue what trek are doing???

Trek are worried for Mollema's GC?

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Oh hang on, Trek want to sign Conti so they are giving him a favour so he signs for them

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Trek is already defending Mollema's virtual 7th on GC.

Re:

Mollema has a 1% chance to won this stage

Worth it imo

Better than a 0% chance when they do nothing.

 

[Ciddaman]

Trek is running for Ciccone

Re:

just now or the whole season so far?

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Re:

makes more sense, now Katusha for Battaglin

 

[Rollthedice]

Anyway, some chaos is to be expected soon.

 

[Oliver]

Formolo is gonna win i think

 

[King Boonen]

DOGGO!!!

Re:

Yes, think this one's for Formolino.
