Giro 2017, stage 10: Foligno - Montefalco 39,8km (ITT)

[Hugo Koblet]

Nibali gaining on Dumoulin in a time trial or GPS trolling? I'm betting on the latter.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Everyone keeps going on about Dumoulin losing weight.

How many times do I need to repeat: Dumoulin is the same weight as Vuelta 2015. He hasn't become lighter. He's just trained more on climbs...

Quintana putting in a Dan Martin time trial.

Re: Re:

Dumo!!!!

This is going to be bloody like everyone wanted!!!

I dont understand why anyone would want it. If Dumoulin takes 5-6 minutes out of Quintana on both itts this giro is done.

He's not going to get anything like six minutes plus he has a weak climbing team facing into multi mountain stages against one of the world's two best climbers.

If Quintana didn't have to make up significant time this race really would be over.

He will lose more than 3 minutes today. And the final itt is 30km of flat, it could easily be around 3minutes loss.

Re: Re:

Looks like it's going to just be Nibali v Quintana for the overall.

That's a bold statement.

I don't think so. They're the only two guys in this race to have won a GT before and are comfortably the best two climbers in the field. Simply on a different level to everyone else in the third week.

Nibali is the only guy that has a chance of holding Quintana's wheel in the mountains. The likes of Dumoulin and Pinot will lose huge time on Stelvio stage when Movistar unleash carnage.

Did Pozzo just beat TJVG?

It won't be six but if it is, great. Let's see him go bananas in the mountains.

Nibali very good TT, nice proper build up.

 

[woodburn]

That GPS on Nibali-Dumoulin was wrong or Dumoulin really slowed.

Still good showing by Nibs.

Decent time for Nibali.

 

[Bavarianrider]

People who say he pulled a Wiggins have no clue hwat they are talking abot. They have no eyes in their head either.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Well done, Vincenzo.

 

[rick james]

Re:

Nibs was at +20 on Thomas on the first time check and people was writing that he was doing a "very bad ITT"...
