Suppose the one positive is the other two GTs can't be worse than this.

The only surprise about this stage so far is people being surprised nothing happened on the Giau

 

[Red Rick]

Ive been very entertained by people who expected different from today all stage

I'm not surprised tbf. I still can be disappointed and bored though.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Who can fire Mauro Vegni?

Not surprised, I've watched the same first 18 stages as the rest of us, but still disappointed because any other peloton would have produced something less *** at the bare minimum so far. And I think that goes for most of us.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Things can of course still happen on Tre Croci and Tre Crime, but it looks like the small time differences will make the top 3 hesitant to go all out ahead of the MTT. They should have placed it before this stage instead, and possibly in an easier version.

Ineos have always ridden the same way in GT's when they have the leader's jersey - They slowly let the margin of the break to go out - They never have interest in the stage win.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Yeah I don't think anyone was expecting anything big on the Giau, hoping would be a better way of describing it.

I was expecting a little more than Puccio still being there though I must say.

Its obvious every dice has fallen wrongly for action this Giro

the race has always exploded on the Giau. Did in 2007, 2008, 2011, etc

Actually the trident of mountain stages should have been 16-18 and stage 19 should have been a sprint stage - Then GC riders would have gone all out in these mountain stages.

Rob Hatch drooling over Puccio and Swift is doing my nut in

Sure they are doing a good job for INEOS but having them there shows that the racing is very poor

I wish he'd shut up about it

 

[johnymax]

Whoever doesn't win this Giro, he really deserves to lose

There are different shades of nothing. I was honestly expecting Formolo to pace it.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Caruso running out of descents

 

[Samamba]

Actually falling asleep

 

[Riek s]

The problem is that all 3 of them believe they can still do something tomorrow with the current time differences. So they don't want to try something big... no risk, just glory kind of mentality.

 

[Red Rick]

Surely Almeida is *** again

Yup, only there cos no one else is bothered. They were blown out at the start

Also the organizers gave them like 2d4 at most

Not necessarily if the MTT were still the last one, but it would probably still have been better than this.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

The top ten in GC have won one stage between them

 

[Andre]

This is a queen stage?!?! It looks like a progression ride for Ineos. Could this be the biggest failure Giro in 20 years? No Remco, rain, crashes, illness, no attacks...etc.

I don't mind a team sticking to their strengths.... its the other teams who sit on their wheels who we should be annoyed with.
