Wonder if the weather over the past week has resulted in one or two riders getting the sniffles

Why would it? :confused:

Because you tend to get a cold when the weather is bad? :confused:

LOL there is zero evidence for that. :lol: One gets a cold from a virus, not the weather. You guys need to stop listening to the likes of Oliver Naesen.

Riiight. :rolleyes:

There's a correlation between bad weather but I don't remember the explanation anymore.

It's not cause>effect in any case.

Your body gets cold -> immune system is diminished -> easier to pick up illness. That's basic primary school medical knowledge. Ask José Rujano.

Carthy 5th in GC among guys who didn't gain any time in breakaways. He's always had problems with recovery in stage races. I wonder if he's made some progress there because I doubt anyone had expected him to be in such a good positon before the mountains have started.

So when you are cycling in ****** conditions with wet clothes and stuff, youre not more likely to get sick?

No
Of course you do. In the cold your body expends more energy to keep your core temperature high enough so it struggles more to fight viruses. You get more vulnerable to those so it's easier to get sick. The combination of cold and extreme effort is even worse.

Correct.
 
Very good ride by Mollema. Nibali will be happy with his ride. Roglic did what he had to do. The rides by Lopez, Landa and co were not unexpected but Yates will be very disappointed. Roglic now doesn't have to attack, or use up his team with two more flat stages. The mountain stages should be busy. Nibali is also well positioned and doesn't really need to be an instigator with obvious attacks to come from Movistar, Astana and Michelton.

Back to normal for Lopez then.

Nibali would beat Mollema if the rain held off. Started up right after Mollema finished..
***, that was pure uphill. Just admit Mollema climbed faster today. Sjeesjh

11 seconds difference over a 13km climb. One was dry, one was wet. Mollema had a great ride but come on.. No need to be so defensive.
 
I called Kangert doing pretty well, the TT was perfect for him.
Masnada managed to finish in the top 10, that's a great performance for him. He should try to ride for the gc at least until the first big MTF, if he looses many minutes he can still go stagehunting.

Both him and Cattaneo with a good performance today. I think the latter will be the GC rider with Masnada stage hunting and perhaps targeting the blue jersey.

I believe there's evidence that when riders spend a long time riding in the rain, they are more vulnerable to illness caused by involuntary ingestion of road spray -- which is coming off the ground and may contain contaminants (bacterial, etc.).

Before the start of the Giro Savio said that both would go for GC, trying to get a Top 15 or so (besides going for stages). I guess that's still the plan.
 
Surprised Yates exploded big on the climb and MAL also did a bad ITT. The rest pretty much as expected. Nibali defended himself really well. Roglič really is a joy to watch with his position on a TT bike.

Before yesterday I thought the profile was too difficult for Campenaerts but on a second thought I could see him doing well and he's done just that. He would have won without the mechanical but then again, Rogla would be faster if he had the same conditions as Victor. There's another chance in Verona.

If you ride in the wet you get cold, if you're cold then your body temperature is lower, if your body temperature is lower then you become more susceptible to viruses, hence you become more likely to get ill.

And you have the not so good stuff sprayed on your bottle to add to it

It’s one of those things.
 
Was Campanaerts' bike change planned, or a mechanical? If the former, seems like a poor choice of TT to do a portion on the road bike; the road doesn't look nearly steep enough for long enough to get a benefit of weight vs aero. If the latter, surely a national and European TT champ and Hour record holder would have a spare TT bike on top of the car. Along with the clearly pretty unpracticed bike change, it seems like a lot of things left to chance.

It was a mechanical but with only 1.5 kms left which were pretty steep so it made sense to change to a road bike. However, that was the only good thing to say about that change.
