Giro 2017, stage 16: Rovetta – Bormio 222 km

[Brullnux]

In fairness to the peloton, they did slow down (until zakarin attacked) but after a km or two they started to raise the tempo.

 

[Cancelled]

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?

They looked at each other for a bit before Zakarin took off, it wasn't like an immediate reaction.

They didn't while he was doing it. But after he got back to his bike... then (not immediately), Ilnur zakarin started attacking. Then everyone followed. So it will be a lot of discussion.

The question is, did he get the problem out or not...
According to the never accurate times he's faster then the group.

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

Yes... altho I don't think it's funny

Re: 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.

Thanks for the rundown, awful timing for sickness to creep in..

This stage just turned to ***

Dumoulin stomach problems must have disappeared, if not Izagirre wouldn't be holding his wheel.

Movistar did nothing wrong. They tried to slow it down.

Re:

What were they supposed to do? Not follow Zakarin or Bahrain when they set the pace?

Movi rider hanging on to Doumoulin to annoy him

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.

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

Are you even watching the race or are you just a Nibali-fanboy deluxe? Tom hasn't lost any time to the leaders the last 10 minutes..

Yeah.. this is going to be interesting discussion. Dumo told everyone to wait for Quintana. Now, Quintana didn't seem to tell everyone to wait for Dumo...

Yes we need to know if he had to go because he's ill or just because

 

[Irondan]

Dumoulin has gained back almost 20 seconds since I tuned back it, maybe it's not the end of his giro?

 

[woodburn]

Nibali voo doo strikes again.

 

[BetOrLose]

NOBODY WILL EVER WAIT FOR QUINTANA AGAIN !

 

[Arredondo]

Or Quintana has a bad day, or it's just the biggest coward there is. Which guy he has to fear now?? Attack dude!

 

[SeriousSam]

This is probably not how we wanted to see Dumoulin lose it

Nairo has the authority to neutralize the race for a minute

 

[Kwibus]

Well Kelderman would be useful today...

 

[Rollthedice]

Major Tom completing his transformation into Pantani by chasing down the guys and win the stage.

 

[KGB]

Tommy *** kill giro 2017.

He just has to pace himself really well without going into red.
