Roglic and almeida not good enough to threaten Thomas.

Roglic can be happy he has a sprint or he would have lost 10seconds here. Kind of the roglstomp after dropping. Seems in pure climbing he can't compete with Thomas, so i'm assuming if they raced hard on the previous climbs, Thomas would have won by a distance...

Bottom line to Giro, cannot have these type of stages in the third week, otherwise there is a big risk that this will happen. And in the second week there is a risk of weather issues. Well in the third as well so it is better to move the hard stages 1 week.

10s is just climbing ability here not being lucky you have a sprint.

Apparently Tre Cime didn't disappoint according to Hatch.

What race was he watching?
Come on guys, I'm sure commentators were as disgusted as us by the show, they just got paid to hde it. Not sure if we could in his position.

I'm just shaking my head at Hatch; it is so painful listening to the commentators trying to put lipstick on this pig. Uggh.
IMO he, and any other commentators sugarcoating this race, are a hindrance more than a help. Yes, it may put off some casual viewers if you're being honest about this race, but sometimes a race is so bad that it's unhealthy for there not to be proper backlash and this is one such occasion.
