50 secs

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The Madesimo stage design looks very promising all of a sudden.

 

[roundabout]

Carthy losing 3 minutes plus. Oh dear

 

[titan31]

I guess Bharain were riding against Yates, not against Bernal

It helps him to get Yates closer if he wants to win thought. Two teams to attack Bernal then. Ride to win not to get 2nd imo. He'll take loads of time out of Yates in the TT anyway

 

[Mayomaniac]

Ulissi's ride is the weirdest thing on this very weird day.

The guy has done some great rides on unipublic stages but yes, that was unexpected.
Bettiol being clearly stronger than Carthy on this kind of climb is also pretty wild stuff.

 

[topt]

Thing is, Bernal is managing this well. He's got 4:20 on Yates and he's not losing anything to Caruso

Dont know, this doesnt look good for next stages

 

[Gigs_98]

This is where the attrition kicks in. Race f*cking in. Bernal better hope this was only a bad day

 

[trevim]

Almeida’s strongest point is actually the head which is not bad at all for a GC rider

 

[Melo]

Damn, Bernal looked absolutely spent at the finish line.

 

[BlueRoads]

dramatic day

 

[Red Rick]

This is what happens to Bernal when you don't shorten a hard stage.

 

[Bonimenier]

Ulissi and Bettiol the weirdest riders to be up there in such a stage.

 

[Bolder]

Magnifique from Martin, Almeida and Yates.

 

[Poursuivant]

Amazing win by Martin that

 

[hfer07]

Egan getting off the bike looked completely empty......

 

[TMP402]

Carthy losing 3 minutes plus. Oh dear

He and Yates keep leapfrogging each other. The Lancashire leapfroggers.

 

[limak_]

I'm just praying it was not a back issue for Bernal. Don't want to see '20 Tour repeat..

 

[Red Rick]

This is where the attrition kicks in. Race f*cking in. Bernal better hope this was only a bad day

Ineos? More than one bad day?

They didn't buy Simon Yates

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Almeida is a world class rider!!

Nah, he can't climb hard mountains. I read it somewhere

 

[carton]

Great win by Dan Martin, well deserved. Good show by Simon Yates. Looks like we're gonna have a fun final week.

 

[jaylew]

Dont know, this doesnt look good for next stages

Maybe, but he only lost time to Almeida who is out of it and Yates who is over 3 minutes back. And Yates hasn't exactly been consistent this Giro.

 

[Carols]

The Giro, it's Never over until the finish line

 

[roundabout]

Poor Ciccone

 

[Savant12]

Yates is getting better but he had two teammates crash today. Will he have the team to do something or will Ineos just pace Bernal around until the last stage.

 

[Riek s]

Almeida super ride. If he didn't *** up the first mountain ride, he could very well be in contest for podium.

wondering if his better form now is due to the fact he had to wait for Remco and thus had less build up fatigue.. (we will never know about that ofcourse).

He must at least be pissed of that he lost 5minutes in the beginning and as a result needed to tow Evenepoel.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Who on here said Almeida gets dropped on every climb and that's why he needed to work for Remco? I hope Lefevre's happy after watching that

Also jeers to Caruso for riding to defend 2nd place from Yates when he could've let Ineos do the job and at least gained a few seconds on Bernal at the end.
