Re: Re:

I thought Yates was supposed to be better than Nibali... when will people learn to not underestimate the shark...
Now Rogla, is another matter...

Yeah, because this time of Yates was predictable

Mollema is better than Nibali.

Mollema was always similar or slightly better TTer than Vincenzo.
Yeah ofc, Yates totally crumbled in the last part, but he was never going to be better than Nibali imho.

Edit: and Primoz gonna trash everybody anyway, for today...

Wtf, why do you feel the need to say British dream? I doubt you’d do that for any other nationality

Gotta get it in now before July happens I suppose :lol:

Re:

Roglic is flying.

He's been doing it since New Year's Day.

I did not expect Landa to do a better TT than Yates. Carapaz did a better TT than I expected from him. However, I think Landa, Yates, and Lopez are done for GC in this Giro. Carapaz might still be in it.

Just ignore the xenophobia.

Last I checked, there were still two weeks to go and we've seen strange things happen in Giros. Anyone can still win it.

Rolgitch really motoring.

Re:

Great situation with Lopez, Meana and Yates losing 3 minutes today and lots of mountains left.

Moreno, Meana and Philip, don't you mean?

Re:

ates was 40th fastest up the climb to the finish, at 26:34. Just behind Tobias Ludvigsson and over two minutes down on Mollema. Bizarre

Still suffering from that crash, cold, or just went out way too fast?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Roglic is gonna take it.... could have been close without the mechanical.

 

[SafeBet]

Official: Campanerts lost the TT on that bike change.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

This is really sad for Campenaerts, he definitely lost more than 11 seconds with that bike change.

 

[Climbing]

OUT OF THIS WORLD.
But Nibali in line or better than predicted.

 

[luckyboy]

Slongo just a tad optimistic with his prediction then...

Re: Re:

Campenaerts had a bike change.

Good job by the mech, pushing him before he got on the bike (while he was running) and then not when he had mounted it.

That was embarrassing.
Hope Roglic beats him by at least 30 seconds, otherwise there will be some regrets on that team bus.

Yikes. Your own mechanic pulls a GT stage win out from under you

 

[Rollthedice]

Finish - GC favorites

Roglic
V.Nibali +1:05
S.Yates +3:11
M.A.Lopez +3:45

Roglic simply in incredible shape right now. Can't wait for the mountains, I just hope yates, landa and mal aren't so far down that they decide to only ride for the podium. That could kill the race

 

[HelloDolly]

All very good for the shark

es pwith Yates, MAL and Landa so far down...Means they will attack and Roglic (with no one will have to chase)
While the shark waits to bounce when the skier is bushed

Re: 2019 Giro d'Italia stage 9: Riccione - San Marino 34.7km

If Roglic doesn't fade in the last week, there is no way that Nibali is going to take 2 mins plus from him in the mountains. Quite the opposite, actually, from what we've just seen.

Re:

Yeah, extremely well timed effort. It's really an impressive ability for a cyclist to have.

The good news he was the slowest of 5 Brits up the climb

 

[Carols]

Primoz!!!!! Great Ride
Nibali limited his losses well and put Minutes into the other GC guys! Good Ride Vince!

Looking like a 2 man race.....

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Everyone but Mollema, Nibali and Jungels just got murdered in GC.

Wondering if Astana is start riding for Bilbao now - unless Lopez has had a technical during the TT.

 

[HelloDolly]

Yates will ride to win ...esp after all his talk
