I want Dumoulin to win the giro, but it's ridiculous that a few riders wanted to wait. He didn't even crash or something like that and there surely isn't an unwritten rule that you don't attack when the leader has to take a s*it
I'm sure they'd all have waited if he did it on the flat or descent. It's a bit strange to wait until the start of the climb.

He's bonked anyway. Hasn't been digesting food all day; waiting makes no difference I think.

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.

Now Nibali just needs to get Quintana to take too much risk in the descent and crash, and it will be another victory for Nibali and his impeccable malocchio

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.
