Giro 2017, stage 16: Rovetta – Bormio 222 km

[SafeBet]

Ten Dam is cooked. This looks bad

 

[Forever The Best]

They shouldn't be waiting. They can't neutralize Umbrail.

 

[spalco]

That's *** ridiculous.

Re:

After what Doumolin did for Quintana last stage, this is horrific sportsmanship. I don't expect teams working very hard or a team attacking to stop for a rider that crashes, but this is horrible

They waited for him for a good while, but he must be really sick that's why they are not waiting for him

Re: Re:

I just can't believe this is happening... heart broken once again

Still a long way to go, dont give up hope yet!

No no, it's done. He is probably ill. Figures.

Re:

Are the peloton waiting? And why if they are?

How long can they wait for? He's not closing the gap. It will be 3/4 up the climb before he gets back on.

 

[BetOrLose]

They are waiting as the danish commentators are saying because Quintana needs to do it after Dumoulin waited for him.

 

[SlickMongoose]

Show me one other sport where stuff like that happens? Holy s*it :lol:

Gary Linekar *** himself in a world cup match, Paula Radcliffe in the London marathon....

 

[saganftw]

im definitely not high fiving tom in the finish

 

[Scarponi]

How long can you wait? Leaders stop at bottom of climbs you could see it happening.

 

[benzwire]

If he is sick or has gastrointestinal problems, this is going to be bad for Tom D. Think about it, how many of us call in sick when we have that issue. He has to climb the Stelvio. Ugghhh

 

[Andro]

Re:

Hey Quintana isn't attacking. The other riders are.

Don't worry, people will find a way to blame Movistar/Quintana for it anyway.

 

[Kafviar]

Just wow.

 

[bigcog]

Tom D looks ill to me.

 

[TomekA]

Tom is one minute down, wow

 

[Climbing]

Yeah he looks bad. We'll see.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Quintana must be so happy that Bahrain is working

 

[Gigs_98]

I want Dumoulin to win the giro, but it's ridiculous that a few riders wanted to wait. He didn't even crash or something like that and there surely isn't an unwritten rule that you don't attack when the leader has to take a s*it

 

[spalco]

More than a *** minute.

Pull down your pants and *** yourself, who cares?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Man has to take a sh!t, then gets dumped on.

 

[woodburn]

Basso had same issues in 2005 on Stelvio stage and lost 40 minutes.

 

[jaylew]

Can't wait anymore. Dumo isn't well

 

[WheelofGear]

Landa should win the sprint.

Re:

He doesn't NEED to. It's the last climb of the queen stage. Can't neutralise the queen stage because one person had to take a dump.

 

[Irondan]

I left to drive to work, what the hell happened?
