Im allready amazed that Movistar attacked hard on the Blockhaus instead of waiting for week 3 what Quintana likes to do. Obviously they knew they needed time everywhere possible.

No, because Wiggins dropped 10 Kilos plus, became ultra ultra skinny and yet had the same power as he had before. Dumolin simply improved in the mountains and kept his weight and power.
He has the same weight compared to 2015.

Mediocre. I was expecting a lot better . Still, he remains in the mix. Huge performance by Dumoulin.huangho said:Tibopino :redface:

I think it would have ideal for Quintana to peak in the 1st week, crush on Etna and Blockhaus, then ride defensively to recover for the Tour. Now he will have to work really hard in the Giro's 3rd week and try to recover to challenge Froome in July. I don't think that's going to work out well for Nairo.
