Re:

Great ride from Tom all things considered. Should still retian the pink jersey. Epic stage and will make for a great next few days.

He will be so tired for next stages, while Nairo didn't even had to make a great attack today

Zakarin playing it safe, but losing some time

 

[Rollthedice]

Almost his rear wheel slipped.

 

[Velolover2]

Landa should be the fastest man in a sprint. But how spent is he?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Around 10 seconds gap to Quintana

 

[Forever The Best]

Dumoulin is still the biggest favourite for the overall win but a stage win would be good for Nibali.

 

[perico]

Didn't Pozzovivo go head first into a rock going downhill a few years ago?

Tomorrow is not gonna have any GC action though.

Landa looks like he is out for a leisurely bike ride

Hope Robert Millar blogs about this.

 

[Ikbengodniet]

Nibali saving the Italian stage win.

 

[SeriousSam]

Is Landa a good sprinter?

 

[Scarponi]

Zak'a could have died last year don't blame him for skirting it

Poor old Zakarin. Must be horrible watching everyone gap you on the descent, and there's just nothing you can do.

Re:

Must surely be better than Nibali.

 

[Velolover2]

The downhill section more fun to watch than the uphill.

How about learning to descend :lol:

 

[meat puppet]

Hope Landa gets the stage.

Re:

He also crashed because a black cat jumped on the road on the stelvio descent (durning a training ride) a few years ago, when he missed the Vuelta because of a broken femur.

Re:

He's got a decent kick, but in a uphill finish.

But i think he's faster then Nibbles.

Quintana might do a Cummings on them.

It's probably a good idea considering his poor bike handling. Either way he's still gaining a little bit on the chase group, which could prove handy in his quest for a top 5

Astana boys like in the old days (....)

 

[Vroome.exe]

Its obvious Quintana is a better decender than Dumoulin
