Giro 2017, stage 16: Rovetta – Bormio 222 km

[capuldemetal]

no more ten dam in the front group?

 

[SlickMongoose]

Those Bora adverts never fail to crack me up.

Really good situation for Movistar, but Dumo is doing the right think by controlling the break in the valley so it limits the possibilities for the Movistar-riders to survive Stelvio when the peloton will go full gas at Stelvio.

Edit: Damn, I dislike Mollema.

 

[WheelofGear]

Break needs to get their sh*t to together.

Lots of teams with more than 2 riders. Some even have 3 or 4.

 

[Koba80]

Does Sky have more riders in this one break than in their cumulative Grand Tours to-date?

Quintana could do like he did in l'Alpe d'Huez and reach Anacona during Stelvio.

Sivtsov spotted with other 2 riders between the break and the p.eloton

Vasil the machine

 

[Ataraxus]

Movi breakers getting a free ride by Vasil. Nairo's GC interests are bigger then Landa's Interests in winning the stage and still they are drafting behind Vasil.

 

[del1962]

TJ still in peloton?

 

[webvan]

Mollema shows what he's made of, hope he cracks big time later on today !

It's a marathon, not a sprint. Why wouldn't they make the most of a machine like Kiryienka at this point in proceedings?

Seems to make perfect sense to me.

What did he do?

 

[phil-i-am]

Looking good for Movi. Two stongest helpers are two minutes up the road with another teammate. More important they didn't even worked hard, because of Lulu's work on Mortirolo and Sky's tempo in valley.

Trek are leading the chase...

He tries to finish this race as high as possible in the GC

No problem with that with Amador up the road. They are not here to help Movistar

yeh and it's nearly a crime as only the race leader team should supposedly work on the front!

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

I'm watching English Eurosport right now, is Dom DeMillen Tom Dumoulin? ^^

What is wrong of that? At least someone is not happy with crapy Sunweb tempo

 

[MightyWheelSucker]

The only logic thing Trek can do. Plus they ride against Quintana which helps Contador.

And the problem is what?

 

[sir fly]

Nice touch with the finish line on 100k mark.

Thunders here.

 

[spalco]

I don't really understand why Sunweb is chasing at all. I mean, there's a certain amount of obligation to at least pretend as the race leader, but otherwise I would say to let the break go if they want to go.
