Giro 2017, stage 11: Ponte a Ema – Bagno di Romagna 161 km

Re: Re:

they're wrong, imho

What do they gain by allowing the favourite, Quintana, to strengthen his position and put a teammate in a threatening GC position?

Sunweb is clearly the weakest team for the mountains, it was a good chance to isolete and then atttack him

They will still see racing Quintana as racing to win and view Dumoulin as a secondary issue.

Re: Re:

Cross your fingers: teams aspiring to a top-5 might chase Amador "on behalf of" Sunweb

As expected

Yeah....

Landani only testing legs now, I think that was the whole point of that move. Can win already on Oropa if Movi catches the break.

Re:

Two leaders caught. They look very tired.

Landa not caught yet

 

[WheelofGear]

Tejay dropped, lol.

 

[Oliver]

Landa solo

 

[Samamba]

What's Landa doing lol

 

[WheelofGear]

Man, this is a weird.

 

[Arredondo]

Landa is a great, but also weird rider. That's why he's so interesting to follow!

But this is actually a smart move. He put Fraile into sleep, and he's on his own now. Now he can just ride his own tempo.

 

[sir fly]

If it continues like this, Nibali will take it.
My only pick of double digits odds in hypothetical betting.

Edit:
Speaking rubbish...
The peloton won'tr catch the group.

 

[Singer01]

Landa is just trolling now.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

What is Landa doing?

Trying to neutralise Fraile's advantage in KOM

Re:

Like i said, Landa is a strange strange rider

 

[WheelofGear]

The Cataldo-Kanget duo could both go in top 10 today. They should be helping Movistar.

Conserving energy to try another day...

This stage went from potentially legendary stage to snoozefest

 

[70kmph]

Watch out for Moviestar now

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Prepare yourselves for some crazy Amador descending.

FDJ pulling the peloton ? Ridiculous tactics as if it wasn't enough for Tibopino to make a fool of himself yesterday !

 

[Valv.Piti]

Well at least Pinot and Mollema know they are not winning this bike race.

Amador can take his podium spot.

Re: Re:

Stage 11 and they're already protecting their places, pathetic. It's Amador ffs.

It's not only protecting their current position, it's preventing the favourite from strengthening his position. It's completely reasonable. They aren't fans watching for entertainment.

I don't really think it will strengthen Quintana to have Amador in pink. He would have to have a big lead to be more dangerous. Short of that, it could perhaps seed doubt in Movistar, say if Amador gets in pink with 40'' to Tom.

 

[WheelofGear]

Amador should attack. So should Cataldo-Kangert.

They are missing an opportunity to move up in the GC.
