Similar fidelity, okay.

I have no idea what this means.

Ewan had a mechanical when Alpecin upped the pace. Explains why he was even behind Cav.

 

[ice&fire]

Sounded like both him and Richeze had gearing issues. He was quite cryptic about it in the interview

He doesn't want to get a direct call from Ernesto

 

[Lequack]

Colnago - good enough to win multiple Tour de Frances, not good enough for a sprint against a reduced spring bunch at the Giro.

Cazzo di bici!

Sam Oomen wanted to give a bottle to fan, didn't end well. The fan even seemed angry at Oomen.

I'd say the fan was mainly angry at himself. It wasn't the most handy of Oomen either to give the bottle with his right hand to someone left of him.

Campag not Colnogo (gear issues).

The fan is certainly pissed at himself here. Just an silly incident, that's all. Hope Oomen is ok though, would be rough to get injured like that.

When you watch the overhead you see Sctosson took the last corner so well that he got a big gap. So even though it looked like he didnt hit the front until 400m, Sinkledam basically pulls Demare to the front past 2 or 3 riders from 700m, and then leads out from 450m into a headwind.

Giant leadout by Sinkeldam. Guess where he learned that?

Also, you gotta love Bardiani and AG2R in these bunch sprints. Today, they managed to occupy five out of the six spots between 14th and 19th.

too bad Fiorelli abandoned, would have fit in there perfectly

Fiorelli was actually super motivated for today's stage because he's from Sicily and hoped that they'd drop as many sprinters as possible.
Sadly he's got health related problems and had to stop.

Aru approves!

Aru approves!

talking about former pros... accidentally saw the Giro E podium yesterday, with guys like Cunego, Colli (looked very former pro) and Ferrari on there. About time for Aru to start smashing some dreams again.

Hadn't even realized that Ferrari retired, btw. Modolo at least could still benefit from his leadouts, I guess

I am aware.

I'm just the type of person who likes doing things myself. For example, I like learning languages even though Google translate exists.

I also like doing cycling statistics even if there are websites that do the same.

Learning a language from Google translate is probably the worst thing you could do.

Ernesto doesn't own it anymore. His UAE overlords own it all. Him, too.
Sounds more like mechanic setup problems that plagued Quickstep during a Tour or two....
I've got Campy mechanical stuff that is totally reliable. Can't say the same for my wife's Di2 or Ultegra. Battery, connection programming updates????? Since when did derailleurs require updates? No surprise bikes ridden hard every day for a month have issues.

even though google translate exists, he prefers to actually learn a language.
Not learn through google translate

 

[Escarabajo]

Did Gaviria have a mechanical issue? His gear seemed much too low.

I came here to comment about it and see that other people noticed it. His cadence was too high for that sprint. I'll keep reading though!

They didn't say that they learned the language from Google, they said that they learned the language even though Google can translate.
