Giro 2017, stage 16: Rovetta – Bormio 222 km

[Velolover2]

20 riders left in the GC group.

No favorites dropped.

Vasil just mopped up by the peloton

Nibali needs to ride defensively today. No teammates in the break, only Delfino with him. Not the right stage for crazy attacks.

 

[SlickMongoose]

Pretty small groups left now, in the break and the peloton.

 

[DBotero]

Impressive Giro so far for Deignan.

Re: Re:

Ten Dam dropped ! Was wondering if he still drooled like a loon ;-)

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

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

Why not but who here believes that Mollema will ever win a GT, barring any very particular circumstances ?

 

[Arredondo]

Come on Nairo! Do something!

 

[MartinGT]

Pinot looks good

 

[Scarponi]

What are those other mountains with snow ?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Nice to see that Hirt and LuLu are still in the front group

Dumoulin the patron, restoring order among the fans.

Having a bit of a go there. Not the only one either.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Hmm, this scenario is going in the way of Quintana.

 

[glassmoon]

fat *** pushing Nairo up the Stelvio

 

[Scarponi]

Normally it's Italian fans

Re:

Looks on edge. Wasting energy doing it :lol:

 

[Velolover2]

Mollema and Dumoulin didn't like the Colombian fan trying to push Quintana.

 

[Ikbengodniet]

Would be nice if we see Landa and Kruijswijk batte for the stage.

 

[webvan]

That was odd, I don't remember seeing other riders (Mollema and Dumoulin here) pushing away a spectator helping another rider (Quintana here) !

 

[Vroome.exe]

At this rate Dumoulin will neutralise the stage.

Re:

A lot of people in Limburg (province Dumoulin is from) have a French surname. I live there and it's quite common.

We're all waiting for Nairo to grow some
