I'm surprised that this thread is not staying on top of page 1 of our forum...the dude is dominating Il Giro. We are way past half of the stages, and yes the toughest has yet to come, but man! If my Tibopino was in his place right now, I'd be buying Prosecco by the case. Is it due to a lack of fan base, or some feeling that he'll Kruijswijk it? I don't know what to make of it.
So far, Simon Yates is the boss. A surprise, but what will the other riders do? For Dumoulin, it's pretty clear: smash the ITT, get an insurmountable lead, hang on. What about the rest? Counting on a bad day is putting your destiny in HIS hands (well, legs). Not a good idea IMO.
So it all revolves around the idea that he will crack at some point. I'm not following him much at all. If you do, tell me what you think...please
