Re:

Wonder if Landa will be told to wait if Thomas attacks

Still have Deignan in the chase group.

They're thinking of their own chances.

No, it's 'let's protect our top 10 on GC'

Re: Re:

Wholly cakes!

Yep, three whole cakes

whose were those other two then?

If either of them involved ice cream, I think we know the answer...

Tiramisu cake, it is the Giro after all!

Unfortunately the sponsors and DS's don't agree.

Re:

1 chance down looks like

plus pinot and mollema want podium

It would make sense if it was the final mountain stage, but Amador will have to work for Quintana and maybe Movistar will even send him on a suicide attack to put pressure on Tom. At this point of the Giro working to defend a podium spot doesn't make too much sense, it's not like he'll gain minutes on them.

lolol.. tejay again...

 

[sir fly]

So sorry for TJ.
I think he has considerable potential, but they fail to find the right formula for him.

Re:

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

 

[Pricey_sky]

Two leaders caught. They look very tired.

 

[webvan]

TVG dropped, WTH !

 

[Samamba]

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

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

teejay is always dead after the first week of a grand tour

 

[HelloDolly]

Landa is going to beat everyone ...yeah ?
Fraile wont stay with him on the Cat 2 ...yeah ?

Stupid move imo

At least Fraile was going for the KOM

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.

Re:

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

As expected
