The time gaps are so small. It's literally the last mountain stage of the Giro and every gc rider is in 40s of each other.

The entire Jumbo teamKuss was useless today really
Yeah I don't buy this. They would probably get told off if they like mercilessly trashed the whole peloton and called them names or whatever but there's a lot of room between that and shameless hagiography. Plenty of commentators have been critical before and they weren't thrown in jail or anything. It's a choice commentators like Hatch make.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.
Top 3 all attacked once?Roglic again the most aggressive of the GC guys today.
I've told you this before, don't refresh the page, click on the "Live" button:You guys always say that... I would still have liked to be able to watch it.
The worst part is that it was because my finger spassed, so I accidentally paused it (which is possible for live coverage, for... some weird reason), so when I had to renew the page, I got thrown off, but couldn't get back on...
Mind you, I saw Dennis pulling for 5s.The entire Jumbo team
Roglic is more likely to pass Thomas than Almeida is to pass Roglic.Looks like G has this Giro in the bag.....
Primoz & Joao battling out for the runner up honors it seems...
Roglic gained 3 seconds by wheelsucking?Top 3 all attacked once?
Yes indeed. It's so obvious Roglic simply can't do any better, he arrives at the finish line white as a sheet. He tried, but he just can't do it at the moment. That's unfortunate, but somehow all the frustration of a lot of guys on this forum is reserved for him and Jumbo. They can't work wonders. Yes, they maybe could have increased the gap on Thomas by 4 seconds more. Well, whoopty doo.He would have been destroyed but the Remco degenerates on here can’t grasp he is struggling
Mind you, I saw Dennis pulling for 5s.
Clicking "live bottom" is a mistake I don't want to make again.I've told you this before, don't refresh the page, click on the "Live" bottom:

Did any of those GC riders aside from Thomas strike you as having the legs to simply try harder? I don't think anyone on this forum actually watches what's going on. Just play pro cycling manager instead of constantly doing the "I would simply attack" thing.I'm happy just because there's a very high probability that one or more riders will be after tomorrow thinking 'if only I've tried harder at some stage"
Didn't know a sprint counted as an attack. In that case they all attacked twice.Roglic gained 3 seconds by wheelsucking?
Ok totally agree then, though not sure if that's apathy or just the kind of racers and teams we currently have outside of Pogacar. We were having similar discussions ten years ago with reference to ten years before that, too. But yeah, this has been a terribly raced GiroI'm not talking about field quality, I'm talking about the racing. 2015-2018 was a series of good to fantastic years. 2019-2021 was already a step down on the whole, then now we've had a very bad and an atrocious edition back to back. The growing apathy in the Giro pelotons is reflected by both that and the number of breakaway wins rising sharply.
