They chose to completely ignore everyone who got dropped this stage. No images, no graphic, no whatever, even though its actually the most interesting gap right now. Your guess is as good as mine - 15 seconds or 5 minutes? We don't know, and they dont care because they are incapable of producing a bike race like normal human beings are.Almeida must be many minutes back by now, yet no sign in the graphic whatsoever.
Yesterday was a descent finishThis Giro shows why you need descent finishes. With the best climbers unable to drop each other uphill it's the only other way to force gaps.
In hindsight.This Giro shows why you need descent finishes. With the best climbers unable to drop each other uphill it's the only other way to force gaps.
Hindley to take the few seconds needed to take the pink away from carapaz

Can only assume by the way they are riding that Almeida is just behind them?
YES, THIS IS DEFINITELY THE MOST INFURATING RACE IVE EVER WITNESSED
How? There's no bonus seconds, Carthy and Hirt won't have sat up completely.
Seriously, where's the email of the organizers. This is shameful.
There's nothing dangerous left to keep something in reserve for, so they don't have to worry about exposing themselves to each other. And no bonus seconds.Im starting to think the same thing. Otherwise this smooth swapping of hard turns is nearly inexplicable
But why spend the energy?There's nothing dangerous left to keep something in reserve for, so they don't have to worry about exposing themselves to each other.
Surely he can sprint a decent enough gap at the finish
