This is the first time we get a fair chance to assess the looks of the riders' wives in this race.

I think I regret not becoming a pro cyclist

Pinot has beautiful goats at home

This is the first time we get a fair chance to assess the looks of the riders' wives in this race.

Apparently being a stick figure GC guy is the key to getting a beautiful wife.

 

[Wyndbrook]

So everyone made a bad choice and now they are through a hellish short-stage where falls and accidents can shake up the GC contenders. Tao broke a hip with a minor fall. I'll be surprised if nothing is happening. Adam Hansen and Vegni were

When does the dangerous part of the descent come?

The part we have just seen, thankfully no incidents.

Your wife that ugly?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Ben Swift has passed the whole Peloton

Big fan of the Croix de Coeur, run it in a big stage next year imo

The part we have just seen, thankfully no incidents.

Huh, what was dangerous about it?

 

[glassmoon]

I'm hearing the Simplonpass is also in danger tomorrow... ffs

 

[Valv.Piti]

A normal Alpine descent with a bit of rain in the first part?

Aight, that just about confirmed that what I thought of these bunch of riders was true

It’s a gorgeous climb

Sauce?

 

[MrTea1976]

Cool glove moment!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Now nothing will happen until Cranz Montana. Dull stage.

 

[SafeBet]

Finally a confirmation that short stages always deliver.

 

[Red Rick]

I actually think the fact that the descent was quite technical and slow made the road quality less of an issue

 

[StryderHells]

Now nothing will happen until Cranz Montana. Dull stage.

Nothing was going to happen until Cranz Montana either way, it’s stage 13! At least it will be over reasonably quickly

 

[glassmoon]

Sauce?

[Logic-is-your-friend]

The moment Pinot takes virtual pink, he gets a flat tire, crashes, and gets an avalanche on top.

 

[Netserk]

I actually think the fact that the descent was quite technical and slow made the road quality less of an issue

If anything, it'd be more dangerous with a slick surface.

 

[Red Rick]

I wonder if Jumbo will start pacing the flat for the stage win.

 

[StryderHells]

Sauce?

What type of sauce are you after? Hopefully not tomato, I’m allergic

 

[Netserk]

I wonder if Jumbo will start pacing the flat for the stage win.

I don't think so. Pinot will win today.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Woke up a little late (West coast US), started stage from beginning...learned of the decision to effective neutralize the GC battle...now just hoping Pinot has a bit of glory in his final season. This Giro has been boring.

Any chance of Amirail getting back? Probably not, right.
