Like the overhead shot of the trees covering the riders.That last turn of Bouwman was a bit shady.
He admitted in his interview he entered too fast. That's the only reason he was ahead because he was out of control already.Bouwman was in front & was carrying more speed.
Schmid is the one who made a mistake.
Or just for grumpy Patrick's reaction.Relegate Schmid for comedy reasons
Yes, to me it also looks like Schmid is the one to blameSchmid is the one taking the impossible line and trying to force himself in there.
Remember when Nibali beat Landa and we called him dumb for letting Nibali in through the inside with 75m to go?
A missing Giro win will mean nothing for Enric in four months time when he’s sitting there with Tour and Vuelta victoryMas and Vingegaard must be kicking themselves for not racing this Giro.
Nothing!What did I miss today?
Bouwman chopped schmid and forced him to slam the breaks and lock his back wheel.Yes, to me it also looks like Schmid is the one to blame
I have never seen Mas being better than Carapaz or Landa in a GT where all of them were competitive.Mas and Vingegaard must be kicking themselves for not racing this Giro.
Is that Mas German cousin?A missing Giro win will mean nothing for Enrich in three months time when he’s sitting there with Tour and Vuelta victory
That's because they're incompetent.If it were F1, Bouwman would definitely get a 5 second penalty
Fully expect Vendrame to come motoring past in the last 50m.
I drifted away from the race a bit after Bardet left . . . But increasingly I suspect that I'm not missing much.Nothing!
Everytime I turned to watch the cameras were showing the break!
The real winner is Tonelli, its his 30th Birthday on Sunday !!!I think the whole break should be disqualified for slowing down that much in the final kilometres. BORA were trying their best in order to have them finish before the GC action began, but they just wouldn't comply.
So Bayer is the real winner of the stage.
