This reminds me of when Blel Kadri won a TDF stage out of a group of weak breakers no one cared to chase. Biggest meh feeling in cycling.

Especially considering how all that turned out. Contador never even won a stage again

Was really a underwhelming break, especially since it was rather clear that its one for the break. Lafay did well. 40s on such a short climb is huge but on the other hand also a direct result of the low climbing level among the other riders.

Do you think any attacks will happen tomorrow from any of the GC favorites? or will they wait for middle of next week?

The last 1.5-2k of the stage are very steep so that could be enough if a rider attacks there to cause gaps and maybe drop Valter by 11-16 seconds but I'm expecting same as today with a breakaway win and nothing major in GC

Probably a break will take it tomorrow too.

Climbs not that tough. I doubt much will happen.

Giro gotta be better at placing some more exciting stages on the weekend.
They are too interested in making hipster breakaway stages to please strade bianche enthusiasts, and backlogging all the climbing to final week.

Yeah the route is not as successful this year imo. Giro has been much better designed in previous years.

Seems like they are just are waiting for the rest day and are content just to not loose time.
Can we fast forward to Wednesday please :)
