Re: Re:

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

If they had slowed for 300 meters....
What happened to the classic respect the leaders jersey has always received from his opponents
Once again Movistar (though I know Bahrain and Zakarin are as much to blame) show their lack of sportsmanship.

Next minute riders will be pulling over to take a dump so they can have a 5 minute rest at the bottom of the final climb. You have to draw a line.

 

[bigcog]

Movistar now cashing in ...

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Nice tactics by Domoulin. Neutralize the climb by letting the other teams wait for him the whole climb.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Tom needs some help from a moto...

Are you watching how Dumoulin is pedaling? There is no waiting for him, he's sick as a dog.

 

[MrTea1976]

10 minutes in an editorial meeting and this happens! Not happy. Missed it all.

Giro never fail to surprise me. Last year Kreuskwijk crashed. Now, Dumoulin had to do nature break on the wrong time. I can't believe it how this could be how he will loose his time.. Wow.

They attacked while he was on a nature break?

 

[Bolder]

Well, all isn't lost yet. But the steep part is coming I believe?

Re: Re:

Tom D is gaining time?

But riding by himself and spending more energy than Quintana who's just following wheels.

Tommy D isn't Contador . Still, the front group are the big hitter climber.

 

[BetOrLose]

Quintana again shows no class !

he took a *** on the side of the road at the start of umbrail...

 

[Gigs_98]

As funny as this is, this might kill the remaining giro

Re:

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

Tom D. had to pull over, strip off his jersey and bibs to take an emergency dump. Looked like a 911 situation, aka diarrhea situation to me. The camera cut away quickly but he is now 1 minute down. Looks like he has major GI distress.

Maybe driven by Kimi Räikkönen...

 

[markene2]

Delfino looking super sharp

He's finished. Even if he somehow limits losses today, he'll get destroyed in the next few days. Especially so if he's got the s***s.

 

[sir fly]

Now Movi has an informer and a troll...

 

[rick james]

don't sit too long on the wheel of Tom D, he has a stinky bum

Wow! Terrible timing for that to happen...

 

[Iker_Baqueiro]

I hope Doumolin learns his lesson today:

"There are no friends at the Tour."

 

[WheelofGear]

Neutralizing the stage is stupid.

At least a lesser GC man should attack like Yates.

 

[fowlyetti]

Movistar is a classy team :/

This. And the pace is very slow anyways.
Dumo will probably keep his pink.

It can happen in the future. Never rule it out
