It doesn't make that much sense to attack on the descent when Bernal is the leader and one of the best descenders.

Just for laughs.

 

[Carols]

If Ciccone were closer, I bet Trek would have tried something on one of the descents.

Ciccone was a DNS today.

 

[Bonimenier]

Ciccone was a DNS today.

Maybe shalgo literally meant closer.

 

[shalgo]

Ha! Missed the DNS. Then yes, he would have needed to be much closer.

Consonni is a classy rider on hilly routes, when he get the chance to ride for himself he usually gets good results.

 

[Black Betsy]

Grande Eurosport, not commercial breaks in the last 25Ks!

 

[Breezy1985]

Just for laughs.

Attack out of boredom

 

[Breezy1985]

Zana and Mosca look like unlicensed PCM riders

 

[Bushman]

A guy with his class only 3 wins is a bit absurd.
Not the hardest of workers I've heard...

Has been working his ass of this Giro, though

Ponomar is holding up really well. He seems to have amazing endurance for his age, not only did he go in the break today in the 18th stage of a GT at 18years old, he also did that in the longest stage... and he also did MSR... so that seems to be a strength of him for now.

 

[Anderis]

Ganna first from the peloton. I didn't know he was such a good sprinter.

Sagan fined 1000 CHF and -50 UCI points for intimidation, improper conduct against other riders.

Yeah, what's that about?

 

[Red Rick]

Yeah, what's that about?

Probably something with the roadblocking?

 

[Breezy1985]

Yeah, what's that about?

The other riders find his good looks to be intimidating to their masculinity

 

[hayneplane]

Probably something with the roadblocking?

Would spice things up if they started cracking down on Ineos and Jumbo Visma road blocking when they have the GC favourite

Been in at least 5 breaks through the Giro so must be a candidate for most TV time other than the GC leaders.

 

[Lequack]

I think the UCI took offence that the peloton was on a easy Sunday ride, and took it out on Sagan. Understandably so, it's supposed to be a race in the end.

 

[Pantani_lives]

Just his 3rd pro win

He clearly values quality over quantity. Only, what was he thinking when he won that petty stage in Bessèges??
