Did Caruso attack on the descent or climb?

On descent, joined DSM who were at the front

Did Caruso attack on the descent or climb?

On the descent. First Bardet went with 2 teammates, then Bilbao and Caruso went.

Still Msocon, Narvaez,Castro and Martinez. This will be tough

 

[Mayomaniac]

I swear, if Astana also starts pulling I hope that Vlasov cracks badly...

 

[Broccolidwarf]

But not that many pros...
Visconti and Nibali were rivals before they turned pro, even their fan clubs hated eachother back in the day.

Which is why it was significant, that Visconti and Caruso are old friends.....

 

[HelloDolly]

Moscon does my nut ...how is he at his weight climbing better than light GC leaders

 

[Red Rick]

Mollema, wait for Nibali you little rat.

 

[limak_]

Anyway Caruso will pay for that in the last climb I'm afraid

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Vervaeke's a better DSM rider than two years ago.

Power to weight ratio..... but as for all heavy guys, he will fade on the final mountain, because as your power drops off, the weight becomes an increasing problem.

 

[Red Rick]

Yates needs to attack, drop Bernal and close the gap on the Caruso group on this climb.

0% chance of happening

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Game seems to be on

he didnt even smell the wind

 

[titan31]

Descent off here will likely gain more time for Caruso and Bardet here too

He is a final climb man !!!

 

[Forever The Best]

Huge respect for Damiano Caruso.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

he didnt even smell the wind

Except when Bilbao activated the afterburner.

 

[HelloDolly]

Moscon power/weight is unreal on climbs is my point

 

[postmanhat]

Bardet hasn't looked too comfortable since the start of the climb. Hope I'm reading too much into it as would love him to win the stage

 

[Gigs_98]

Yates better have a bad day. If it turns out he is stronger than Bernal but never tried to bridge anyway that's honestly sad

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

C'mon Yates! Do something man.

 

[Bonimenier]

Yates needs to attack, drop Bernal and close the gap on the Caruso group on this climb.

0% chance of happening

Your positivity is really contagious!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Rick is right.

The final climb is not enough, he needs to be at least 30 seconds ahead of Bernal on the overall, going into the TT tomorrow, if he wants a shot at the win.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

The sheer prospect of rain is already making Yatesy quiver

Bilbao will be done until the end of this climb, Caruso will be in the wind for the whole upcoming descent (together with Bardet)
