You think they'd know of all people, I mean Bol looks about twice as big as Dainese on the bikeDutch commentators got it wrong aswell.
I dont remember any of the winsI mean, Bol does have one really impressive sprint victory every year and then does little for the rest of the season.
Yeah he’s just out of sorts, wasn’t bad the Tour of Turkey but still didn’t look right. Guess it’s all about the tour now.Great win by Dainese. Just not happening for Ewan, he had a clear run up the inside if he was good enough but was freewheeling a long way from the line. nice effort by de Bondt to last that long.
I think he's actually better after a hilly stage, when the pure sprinters are worn out. When both he a Viviani rode for Cofidis he actually outperformed the later when he was allowed to ride for himself in GTs, a podium in the 2020 Tour and a 4th place in the 2020 Giro and last year he scored a 2nd place (after the hard hilly stage that Bettiol won from the breakaway) and a 4th place at the Giro.Would love to see Consonni pick up a win, such a hard working honest sprinter.
Yeah best win I can think of by Bol was at Paris-NiceI dont remember any of the wins

Can’t argue with that, he gets over the hills well enough that he’d make a good reduced bunch sprinter.I think he's actually better after a hilly stage, when the pure sprinters are worn out.

He should probably try to become more of a Trentin/Matthews type of rider, at least in my opinion.
Thomas Bay called it correctly, falsely corrected to Bol, then realised he'd been right the first time around.
They got it right on the call in AustraliaAs did Rob Hatch - It's not important.
The Germans first said Bol, and then switched to "Albanese" lolThomas Bay called it correctly, falsely corrected to Bol, then realised he'd been right the first time around.
...and for the ItaliansWow, Dainese saves the Giro for my CQ team!!!
(And for himself, of course)

Well I can’t be expected to hear all the calls can I?Technically, so did Bay and Hatch (separately).
Just point the cork away from your face and you should be fine.Dainese looking tired and somewhat bewildered by his win in his interview, hopefully he knows how to open a bottle correctly!
(Why don't they just put a towel over the cork and gently pull it out while opening the bottle, this should prevent any mishaps.)
Is going for bonus seconds rare for top GC riders? I haven't seen it before in a GT but in smaller races. (noob is noob)
I suppose they could be thinking that with the evenly matched top GC contenders in this race, the final winning margin may be a matter of seconds not minutes.It's not unheard of, but I would say most don't do it unless it only takes minimal effort. Froome used to it sometimes, others never do it.
