Like you could conceivably gain 30 seconds back if you're 2 minutes down here because they probably won't chase anyway.

Bais doing some wheel sucking here.

I am probably the only one who doesn't like this landscape.

Why not like?

It occurs to me that the composition of the breaks shapes the nature of today’s race. If a rider or two who posed even a minimal threat they probably wouldn’t be given 10-12 minutes or whatever. And if they kept them close and got within reach of catching them it could at least animate some riders/teams with possibly they could still catch them for the stage win. But with such a huge gap it eliminates any incentive to attack from the peloton.

Vamos!

Because I like trees, ocean... this is too moonlike for me.

 

[Escarabajo]

Movistar pulling!!!!
Well, that was unexpected, but good for cycling!

 

[Sciatic]

Almeida: “time to drop to the back”

 

[Lequack]

Movistar why even try? It's too late, might as well not try.

 

[Salvarani]

Movistar!

You must love them

Three things can all be true:
- The Giro is usually slow to get going due to backloading
- This Giro isn't more backloaded than usual
- The racing in the first week is worse than usual this year

For the fans

I am probably the only one who doesn't like this landscape.

I know he is not at this Giro but I am guessing Steven Kruijswijk doesnt like it either

 

[noob]

Pinot was on point lol

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Vacek used to be pretty quick.

Rubio should just attack. I doubt they'll even chase him down at this stage

 

[Samamba]

Is Petilli really going to loose this

 

[Pantani_lives]

Quickstep working for Leknessund.

They have to. If they go any slower Evenepoel would fall off his bike.

 

[Salvarani]

Bais easy win

 

[saunaking]

YOLO EOLO

Well done Bais
