Was Gesink really 11th?

No. Harper was the last Jumbo dom to be dropped from the group.

Hi guys i couldn't watch the final climb, how did Fausto do?

I think nobody really knows or really cares for that matter...

 

[Miha81]

Remco looked strong, Mas looked back at his best, Rogla looked better than on thursday's stage. Tomorrow should be fun

 

[Riek s]

Not enough of a time gain opportunity today with how late he left it. Especially with the finish tomorrow. That is basically the last stage where I can see Remco losing this race. I though today would be the harder stage for him, and he handled it just fine

I agree about this stage on paper being a difficult one for Remco

Hi guys i couldn't watch the final climb, how did Fausto do?

dunno, still underway

TGH now with a Dutch accent.

Tao really didn't want to get interviewed but the guy just kept asking questions.

Tao was like: "Jay Vine, who is that?"

Tomorrow should be fine for him, not much harder/steeper than San Sebastian stuff. The most dangerous days start with Peñas Blancas at the earliest, IMO.

Impressive from Vine. Funny response from Tao there in the interview, no love lost there.

They have Goncalves finishing with Ayuso and not Almeida? EDIT: Nevermind, just his long name. He has like 4 names and he uses the last name. Used to Spanish surnames.

not an endearing interview that is for sure

I actually loved his response "I was riding my bike at that time". So in your face on the reporter asking him to analyze stage wins he didn't see, because he was working!

Vine has found some incredible climbing form. He makes it look so easy. Kinda reminds of Kuss style wise. He's doing what another Aussie Michael Storer did a few editions ago. Winning multiple stages and just riding away from the breaks. Remco looks solid. O'Connor and Hindley don't have it. Looks like a three horse race already. If its foggy on the finish line just pick Vine for the win.

Nothing to say about vine other than to list every employee of zwift

Never heard a man sound so miserable.

Hopefully Vine has got enough of a lead together that he can manage his GPM by picking up the leftover points from the bunch and from competing in the MTFs, because he's now close enough to be able to consider too dangerous to allow to get up the road on this form, but given how well he's riding it would be a shame for him to voluntarily drop a bunch of time to protect the KOM and not get a real handle on what he could be capable of in a GC. The Vuelta has a real problem with the Virenque method in recent years (and if they stuck to the old Giro system that they have based their GPM on without the minor tweaks, he'd have 10 more points too) so it's nice to see somebody wearing the polka dots who you feel has legitimately been the king of the mountains in the race.

Penas Blancas is a gradual climb though. I expect Remco to expand his lead there

Yes, I really wish the reporter just would've given Tao his privacy.

He's been miserable since he won the Giro...........

Don't worry, he seems to be in Sella mode.

He will likely not be in the break tomorrow, so if the stage win is not from the peloton, he will drop time there. Likewise in the ITT. So he can easily go from +6'33'' to +10'00''-15'00'' before the next breakaway stage.

This year's Giro looking really weak at this moment.
