If Nibali is even gonna lose time to Quintana in this stage then I don't have an idea how he can even have a relatively chance of winning the Giro. 
Also great ride by Konrad.

Great and deserved win for Bobby although I was rooting for Tibo. Quintana rode Jungels' slipstream to 2nd and grabs 6 seconds!
Good rides by Konrad, Nibali and a superb one by Jungels. Thought Yates or Pinot would win but Adam launched way too early and Jungels was way too strong.

Re:
I don't see how losing time in a sprint means he has no chance of winning the Giro, on a stage where nobody was expecting much. Yesterday showed he can't win it, today didn't.Forever The Best said:If Nibali is even gonna lose time to Quintana in this stage then I don't have an idea how he can even have a relatively chance of winning the Giro.

Exactly, Dumoulin's arrogance will cost him so much next week, cannot wait for Tuesday.

I think that Pinot could have won that stage pretty easily, but he seemed very scared in the sprint.
Re: Re:
So you saying that Nairo shouldnt compete anymore because Dumoulin waited for him?
Dumoulin didn't wanted to get into the sprint

Re:
I don't think he does. He's mostly likely going to win or lose by minutes not seconds. His main aim in these stages should be conserving as much energy as possible, not wasting it going for a handful of seconds.Moviefan1203 said:
When you have a big lead it's a silly idea to redline in a sprint, risk a crash and spend energy. Especially with tomorrow looming large in Big Tam's mind. Keep out of it and keep in the race.
Re:
Dumoulin just picked the wrong side of the road while Quintana went the open side.

Re: Re:
It was not only the sprint, it was the waiting for Quintana when he crashed, as if he was already sure that Quintana would never make back the time loss.

Tom D. is smart not to get into the sprint mix. Why take a risk for a few bonus seconds? Better safe than sorry at this point.

A 150 meter sprint will surely not be the deciding factor in terms of fatigue in a three week race.
