Giro 2017, stage 15: Valdengo – Bergamo 199 km

[kingjr]

Rensburg doesn't seem to be feeling his legs.

 

[sir fly]

Quintana could be insecure at the final downhill.

Class act by Dumoulin. This is what sport is all about.
Although I have no doubts that if Movistar was in this position they wouldn't show any class (never have done). Good for Tom!

Btw, anyone has working stream? Mine has failed me :/

Re: Re:

There's a difference between continuing to ride when there is a crash and starting to go full gas as a response to a crash.

But Nibbles' voodoo working wonders again....... Tom better get a priest or something to ward of Nibali's curses, otherwise he'll succumb to Nibali's black magic as well.......

Doesn't matter, the ones that attack usually end up winning. Quintana crashed by himself, the blockhaus crash was due to external circumstances. And yet they're waiting now

I hope you are able to see thats two very different cases, lol

Well, its clearly not about having a fair fight. Then why should they neutralize it? I@d rather win the Giro then the fair play award

Isn't that a road to the clinic, then?

Because Dumoulin apparently rather would win 'fair and square' (you can argue its fair and square had they went) than taking advantage of Quintana falling and upping the pace afterwards. And as I said, I doubt they would have been able to profit from it in the end. He will probably address that to the Dutch media so you can enlighten me on that one.

Anyways, you seem really angry that they didn't went for the K.O.

Great crowds

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

What the hell was that little cutaway?

 

[klintE]

Nice crowds on Selvino

 

[portugal11]

Boring....

 

[rick james]

Piss off Eurosport, we want to watch this descent

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Great idea: a documentary about descending instead of showing the descent.

 

[SlickMongoose]

I love how they're so busy telling us all about how interesting the descent is, that we can't see the descent. :lol:

Re:

Dumoulin waits because he is confident he will win anyways. Same as Armstrong.

Besides, I very much doubt Sunweb would have been able to out time trial Movistar in that situation..

Exactly this, it looks a good tactical decision from Dumoulin. Perhaps it's a bit cynical to view it like that, but Quintana would most probably have got back on anyway given the strength of his team. And would have been extra motivated and prepared to take advantage of any misfortune that happens to Dumoulin if he had gone hard. Now, perhaps he will feel obliged to wait in a similar situation.

Re:

The upcoming descent is going to be a battleground !

What do Eurosport do ? Show a crap report about the descent with Nibali whilst the actual descent is occurring ... useless

 

[rainman]

The live data is pretty stupid aswell, what can be taken from it?

 

[King Boonen]

How many people complaining about Eurosport coverage are actuallly paying for Eurosport coverage..?

 

[rick james]

Aye Rolland, blame the motorbike

Re:

Is it a pay service?

 

[ngent41]

5 riders in the lead group and there is 8 motorbike's directly behind them. They really need 8 of em

 

[rick james]

Crash...Sky and Cannondale, hit the big concrete wall

 

[Forever The Best]

Elissonde and Formolo fell in the descent. Elissonde looks very bad, he may abandon.

 

[TommyGun]

Nasty crash against that parapet...

 

[DFA123]

This tour has just been a disaster for Sky and Cannondale so far.

 

[benzwire]

The live feed out of Colombia is good quality, but the female announcer's voice is very annoying. They didn't cut away for the descent segment.
