Giro 2017, stage 16: Rovetta – Bormio 222 km

[deValtos]

If this were any other rider in this situation I feel like they'd launch the attack on the first pass of Stelvio, I have my doubts about Quintana though ...

Re:

The slow tempo set by Sunweb at the moment will instigate movements soon.

Waiting for a pre-Quintana attack from someone a bit further down the GC like Yates or Polanc.

Re:

So, Zaka also with no help up front??

Indeed, at least he has some in his group

Re: Re:

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

Yeah and just heads up: sometimes it's even Du'laan, Kraiswejk is Kruijswijk, Eeenyo is Henao, rejdrz are riders...

What about Seeeeeeemon Geschke

Well the I in Simon is long. So that could be ok.

I think it's pretty funny most of the time. Especially Kelly and his struggles to pronounce Philipe Gilbert. I think he even said Flippy Pow Pow once in this years Ronde.

Most of the time I can figure out what they turned into funny sounds this time, but DeMillen from Dumoulin I was just not sure, and well, it's kinda important do know when they are talking about the Pink Jersey. Actually had he not said Dom DeMillin but just DeMillin I'd not even asked myself.

Calm down people. Just count the kilometres Quintana would need to cover on his own should he attack on Stelvio.
Too far and finishing on the downhill.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Everyone - or at least many of us - is hoping for Quintana to light it up on Stelvio, but he isn't superman. And also isn't guaranteed to be on a great day. Given how hard the Stelvio is, the riders will be super tired by the beginning of Umbrail. Even to attack from the bottom of that is a pretty big move (13 kms; going to be a forty minute plus effort), and he could take three minutes on Dumoulin on that climb alone potentially. To attack all out though as far out as halfway up the Stelvio......even with teammates up the road...it sounds spectacular, but even Quintana could then be losing time again over the last 5 kms of Umbrail.

Hehe aye I do enjoy iy.

[Climbing]

Umh... some gaming going on... or someone is about to implode...

 

[carolina]

Kiry is done and FDJ start to pull.

 

[carton]

The break was too close for Movi to go full gas. So FDJ went for it.

 

[webvan]

Morabito on the way out ? Where's TVG ? ;-)

 

[MartinGT]

Bye Bye Vasil, decent turn

 

[Velolover2]

Dumoulin looks a bit isolated now.

Good for him to have Ten Dam in the break.

 

[Vasilis]

Wow, TJ isn't dropped yet

 

[DBotero]

Looks like Landa won't get his win today.

 

[Velolover2]

How big is the peloton now? 50 riders? 40?

 

[webvan]

Watching the race right now you'd think that Mollema is planning on winning the Giro !

Re: Re:

Sioutsou is dead, what a disappointment Bahrain team is.

Indeed

Vincenzo already looks like he's alone. Now it seems like the only chance is to try and follow Quintana whatever he does.

Delfino still there.

 

[glassmoon]

those motos are pacing them way too often though

Good luck with that

 

[sir fly]

Quintana will try to utilize his teammates from the breakaway at some point.
Thought about a pursuit to the top of Stelvio, and then together down the hill...
But looks way too far.

all the greatest of plans fall or succeed with the strength of the riders. If they are not strong enough it stops.

If he's feeling good then he might as well give it a go.

Trek always with good intentions. Best team of the preliminary phase
