Pellizotti has been good in this Giro, still there and strong. But the rest of the Baharin team have been bad.

Re:

Can someone give me a quick tactical update?

Movi have 3 in front of the peloton, Sunweb 1 (but behind the leaders).

Bahrein looks weak.

I hope the Trek team is as strong on the TDF as on the Giro, Bertie's had useless teams for years !

Among others Landa, Crushweak and 2 Movi in front, thin peloton led by Trek chasing, everybidy waits for Quintana to do something, anything.

I'm very worried for Dumoulin, it's looking better and better for Movistar imo.

 

[Scarponi]

How long to the top?

 

[Velolover2]

Anacona attack?

 

[PremierAndrew]

Nibali and Quintana need to start attacking soon

 

[Squirbos_19]

Cataldo going to help Nibali today maybe?

 

[SeriousSam]

Wow, so some really strong riders are ahead of the peloton. Seems like Dumoulin is in great danger then if Quintana or Nibali can shake him off and bridge to the front.

have you seen that reddish house the group passed by some minutes ago? In case somebody might wonder:
They're called "case cantoniere" (Cantoniere Houses) and they are disseminated throughout the peninsula. They are abandoned and they were used as temporary homes for workers in charge of road maintenance

they're are basically part of the landscape.

Pace in the GC group not high enough.

Yes but it all relies on the most boring rider in the peloton launching an attack so idk ... :lol:

Nice, a bit like Bothies in the UK

TVG on attack

 

[Kafviar]

TJ on the attack! Great day!

 

[glassmoon]

too slow for TJ apparently

 

[MartinGT]

Hahaha so slow TJ goes

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Weird spot to attack. TJ is not exactly a splendid descender.
