The moto on the stirrato was too close to the pack - making even the dom on the front breath dust.

Yesterday the stage finished almost 2 kms before the pass, you can't compare ascent times.postmanhat said:Cance > TheRest said:Nice, anyone who has an idea of the ascent time up Giau?

Someone posted the Strava times on twitter. Soasa 's attack in the final 2.28km was over a minute quicker than Nibali/Dombrowski/Kruijswijk in 2016. Both he and Arslanov were quicker in the first part of the climb, but only by a few seconds

Agree.Valv.Piti said:Nice little race, but I hope they will make a more interesting route next year. A TTT, 3 sprint stages and one MTF is pretty bad.
