Wow. Considering how little action we have seen, this sets the stage nicely for all out warfare from the likes of Nibs, Yates, Astana and Movistar.

Unbelievable. A few days ago there seemed to be four equal favorites and now if Nibali, who wasn't even one of them, wasn't there I'd argue this race is over. This race hasn't even been massively chaotic so far yet somehow this happened

Well, there IS Dumoulin crashing out, that part was pretty chaotic..... and is probably the main reason many now feel Roglic will run away with it.

With Dumoulin riding today, we would probably all feel different as for the GC outlook

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.

If Roglic doesn't fade, there is now way anybody in the world even take one second from him.

Yes thanks for that from the university of the bleeding obvious

If Yates , LAnda (if he can get his act together) and MAL attack and this is how Roglic may fade ...esp after a few very hard days

Otherwise we can all turn off the TV now
But the Giro is the Gior and we can expect the unexpected

there is no reason to follow them, he should just follow Nibali

Depends on when they attack and how much time they get back

A minute here or there over a few days

All 3 are able for a long range attack .He will have to chase if they are gaining time

Mollema will chase before Roglic needs to worry.

Remember when nobody could decide who of roglic, dumoulin, yates and bernal would win this giro. Feels like that was hardly more than a week ago...wait...

Not a huge difference in votes between Nibali ans Yates in the poll

Re:

If Roglic smashes everyone in the first mountain stage it will be pretty detrimental to the rest of the race, if it not already were after this ITT. The others will ride conservatively for podium against each other instead of tryna break Jumbo and Roglic.

Landa, for example, is better off going for KOM and stages. Maybe get invited back in with gaining back time from a long break or something.

Nibali will race to win it. A podium does nothing for him!

Yeah it hasn't happened yet but I guarantee I'm going to complain about mollema chasing stronger riders a few dozen times in the last week. I'm already annoyed he did so well

 

[rick james]

The mountains can’t come quick enough

 

[Poursuivant]

Can’t believe we’ve got two more pancake stages before anything uphill, I understand the backloading but this is just too much.

 

[F_Cance]

really great TT. The one and only TGBM

Yeah yates was rated a little lower than roglic and dumoulin by most but Nibali's votes are probably massively misleading due to cyclingnews forum fanboyism towards Nibali

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Provisional podium for TGBM!

Simo Yates 3m something

Surprised by Cattaneo and Carthy

Conditions just getting worse for the last few here.

Its not that big honestly, considering he barely got more votes tham MAL and what has that dude ever done in GTs?

 

[Amazinmets87]

Conti nearly as good as Yates despite riding in poorer conditions

Yeah, he will but will everyone else? Because that was mainly my point and not talking about what one rider will or wont do.

Sucking dumoulin's wheel?

 

[yaco]

The right rider won the ITT - Yes, Campaenerts lost 20 to 30 seconds with the bike change, but at the same time, he had much better weather conditions - When he rode the flat part was dry which probably gave him an extra 30 seconds.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Great TT overall despite the weather. Now 3 rest day, then Pinerolo.

 

[spalco]

Conti keeps the maglia rosa pretty easily, well done; maybe he can survive a mountain stage or two.

I voted Nibali. And he looked pretty good in the buildup to simply put most votes down to fanboyism.

 

[Escarabajo]

Imagine a longer TT?

Some important riders laying an egg here. This weather is something.

50km MTTs would be a bit ridiculous

 

[Valv.Piti]

Are you seriously suggesting Lopez is a glorified Meintjens Rick? Like really?
