Tomorrow we'll finally have fireworks among the GC contenders.Valv.Piti said:Nice stage, but I feel asleep once they hit the final. God damnit.

Pretty weak domestiques really; not a lot to be worried about for Roglic there. If he ends up being put in trouble by riders like Bilbao, Caruso and Carapaz then he's not going to be winning the race anyway.HelloDolly said:Pantani_lives said:Roglic lost De Plus today.

Yep and against
Nibali ,Caruso,Pozzo
Bilbao , MAl
S Yates, Chaves
Carapaz, Landa
Remember Tolek is just back from a serious illness

Astana battling QS for most wins has been the most surprising thing I've seen this season. 29-27 now. I mean, there's no way they could actually beat them, right? It seems inconceivable for a team with no sprinters and Superman as it's top GC guy. That's not meant as a shot at MAL - I actually picked him to win the Giro but he hasn't exactly been a Contador type, hoovering up GCs and stages at a high rate.Alexandre B. said:Astana. Quick-Step. Bora.

Who knows? I certainly didn't watch those. Cyclingnews is also reporting it as their 26th win but I guess it just depends on how/what you count.tobydawq said:jaylew said:https://cqranking.com/men/asp/gen/team_palm.asp?year=2019&teamcode=AST&victories=1tobydawq said:jaylew said:Astana battling QS for most wins has been the most surprising thing I've seen this season. 29-27 now.

Why would they count Asian Continental Championships? Surely, these victories were obtained in national colours?

Continental championships (as well as continental games and also regional games like Caribbean or Mediterranean one's) are always ridden with the national teams, there is no doubt that shouldn't be counted.jaylew said:Who knows?
