Surprised Roglic came back at the finish while Almeida paid for his attack after he got dropped.Ineos doms did the job. Everyone looked tired in the final km.

Hopefully a catastrophic bike change decides the GC tomorrow and we get a farcical winner. Come back Gazprom all is forgiven.
How many time between the start of the GC guys tomorrow? Still hoping Almeida is gonna LPBF this one.

In that case you can hold the little circle indicating the time and just move it to the right. Gives you a couple of seconds usually.
Almeida paced a bit. Roglic then attacked. Then Thomas attacked, Roglic chased him back and then attacked him, dropping Thomas.

4 seconds would have been good, and a stage win always helps morale. But yes, he is trying, they all are. It's just really close and that's part exciting and part boring. Similar to last year, until that last mountain stage... So tomorrow it is. G in poll position to take the giro.
Seriously the only logical hope here is that Jumbo didn't pace cause Roglic told them he felt ***.
Thomas is the legitimate winner of this Giro d'Italia.
Almeida isn't even 2nd fiddle at UAE
Roglic & Jumbo are outright pathetic this Giro d'Italia.

Or I could just assume I won't randomly get logged off, and be unable to log back in, with no explanation.
There were like 194 guys in that group with 1.5 km to go, of course they could have tried harder. And of course they're going to be knackered at the finish line anyway because they sprinted there instead of upping the pace from afar, but it's still not the same kind of effort.
Exactly. And with speed-capped Almeida as the third man. It's almost as dull a podium as you can possibly get.
Being delayed by maybe 1 second means that you must refresh the page?!
Thomas deserves this giro. I still have a fair bit of Sky PTSD but *** me, no one has even tried.
With an average speed below 34km you know everyone worked hard. Any acceleration that got a gap after 5.5 hrs of racing and 18% final grades counts as an attack!
That has to hurt, hard.
Not that Thomas had to attack but he clearly wasn’t super duper either. If he felt amazing he could ridden away from the other two
Indeed, Thomas is the winner we all deserve.
All the Roglic-hype and no risk no glory bs makes me vomit. He has always been like this, a conservative flame rouge type of rider.
I mean he didn’t really try either outside of one attack to follow Almeida.
He's had a good race. Looks like he will finish with a top 10 plus the KOM in his final season.
Well, at least we have the post-race 'Rate the Giro' thread to look forward to; that should be fun! 
Roglic sucked but can’t believe anyone is praising Thomas lmao. Bloke did absolutely nothing all race either
Let's see about trying: most of the stages conducted in rain and threat of Covid along with some hail today and huge climbs. Nope, I guess no one even tried. Stated like a hardened Belgian pro analyzing club racers. Sorry.
Yeah.
Did it earlier without any issue (yeah, my finger spassed twice... ), but now I'm seriously wondering if I got hacked...
