Viviani

Twice now, his leadout man (Consonni) has left him for dead, and looked by far the faster rider. Don't know if Vivianni's old difficulties with positioning have come back, combined with a lack of confidence? Whatever it is, pretending he's a tier 1, WT sprinter isn't working at the moment. Needs to go and win some smaller races for himself, and Cofidis, and build from there I think?

It was very confusing. I went as far as I could and found no answer. That is the reason for the question.
Others responded, thanks

Consonni has outperformed Viviani last year when they actually rode for him. He got a 3rd place at the Tour and a 4th place at the Giro, without the team riding for him on most stages.
I understand that you'd go for Viviani on the really flat stages, but Consonni not getting a chance to ride for himself on something like stage 3 is BS.

Only saw the intermediate sprint now. Ganna and Bernal just went too early

Some great banter between the 2 youngsters

They will smile a lot less when Yates wakes up and takes off on Zoncolan.

Yeah, those were better parties than the ones they had in March 2012

You will have to let that go at some point

Congratulations to Peter Sagan for taking the stage win.

As for the duel. Likely neither is 100% sure on what exactly will happen in the high mountains. Such big effort invested for potential of gaining 3s today. All in all nice to see youngsters going after it in such way. Considering their respective roles, age and experience i fell that we didn't see the last of them fooling around on this race!

At least 2 minutes!
If Bernal has a bad day 3 minutes!
If Bernal has a good day 1.5 minute!

So at least 1,5 minute, if Bernal has a good day, as I wrote?
