Kwiatkowski proving he's still Kwiatkowski.
Well done on all that work, Sky.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Who's Plan B for Sky?

 

[Brullnux]

Battaglin wheel sucking like a boss

In fairness he is a pretty crap time trialler, not close to Jungels in that regard

Re:

KitKatowski gone.

apparently he's as bored as everyone watching

 

[Kwibus]

Orica in prime position with all their competition getting dropped.

 

[DFA123]

This has turned into a really good edition; hopefully attacks will continue all the way until the line. Not too many teams with enough riders left to control the peloton.

 

[Orbit501]

Kwiat out the back. All in for Henao or banking on a Swift sprint for second.

 

[jsem94]

Kwiat hunger knock?

Sky? Plan B?
Listen to yourself man, you're delusional!

Seriously though, Henao

 

[Scarponi]

Gerrans win incoming

 

[SeriousSam]

Fantastic racing, best race since PR. Now even pre-race cofavourite Mike Kwiat is gone

 

[Kwibus]

Peloton is smaller then last years though. That's something I guess.....

 

[ILovecycling]

Pretty weird dropping...

 

[rehy90]

well, at least the backstage pass will be fun

 

[Gigs_98]

Seriously Kwiat? I thought he would be in way better shape than last year but he can't even follow such a huge group. And if he feels so bad why did Sky work so hard?

Remember the last time we had a hilly 250+km one day race on a rainy day?
Sky-GB put everyone on the front for ages and with 100km to day every single rider had DNFed

Gilbert, Dumoulin and even Kwiat not being able to follow the peloton is certainly unexpected

 

[burning]

Meh, I tuned in 10 km's earlier than necessary.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Have to say that Kwiatko's inconsistency is starting to look Mayo'ish

Hasn't exactly been that rainy today. Or as hard. Or as exciting.

 

[Squirbos_19]

Purito could win this

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Old Phil is dead. Long live new Phil.

His palmarès is already way better than Iban's.

Up vote.

 

[Kwibus]

How many to control the race are left? It might be nice ifnal
