Re:

Zakarin please stay up, that scene of you in the creek was horrible last year

This!

Dumo still in virtual pink.

 

[Ramira]

Dumoulin lost about a minute over the last 10 km or so of the climb it seems. He was 1'20" behind early on, now it's under 2'20". He really didn't lose that much time considering he was on his own the whole time.

 

[sir fly]

I can already say everybody should be satisfied and proud of themselves this evening.

Tom D about to close this mofo down.

Descent ain't technical though I think.

 

[woodburn]

Great ride by Formolo.

 

[Velolover2]

Pozzo is back after getting locked by the motorbikes.

Re:

Yeah. I hand stopped ca 2 minutes. Not exact exact because of the footage.

Re:

I think he'll probably lose it tbh. At least if Quintana can hang on to Nibali's wheel. Although some of this descent is more of a power descent and Dumoulin has more power in his legs and is a bit heavier than Quintana.

 

[perico]

Unlike Schleck, maybe Tommy D s**t all the anger out of his belly

 

[SeriousSam]

I was expecting the motos to crush Zakarin there

Re: Re:

Lol at all these newly registered members blaming Movistar for this.

It's like as if this the first time they've ever watched a GT.

Exactly. Movistar do this at every chance they get, not just this GT. (Though they've been exceptional this GT)

And so do every other team.

I have my opinion which I have made pretty clear.
However, it is clear the forum, and cycling world, is split. I am ready to acknowledge that that both opinions are valid, I just think one is wrong.
You, however, are accusing all people (of which there are clearly many)who have a different opinion to you as if this is the first time they have watched a GT

Not really aimed at you. I've noticed some newly registered members blaming Movistar for this .

In all honesty, nobody should be forced to wait for another guy's misfortune.

If so, any rider on a bad day can manipulate it to his advantage.

Yeah you attacked me pretty hard you dud even though I was agreeing

Re:

The last 2km or so through Bormio I think is very technical though. Could be a fight all the way to the line.

 

[WheelofGear]

If they catch Landa, who is the fastest man?

Zakarin IMO.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Re:

Yeah, but unfortunately Jungels and Yates are also in the group.

I agree. It's hard to climb alone when you don't have others around to gauge how you're going. He could be out of pink by the end of the day however. We'll know very shortly...

 

[Brullnux]

Nibali pushing...

 

[woodburn]

Only 2:15 back at top. Dumoulin can save pink.

 

[Hellyea]

Re:

Zakarin IMO.

Quintana.

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

Tom losing 2:09 at the top

 

[Ataraxus]

Landa is pure style

 

[TimChristy]

Any working streams. Mine is out. Thanks

I think if Dumoulin was truly the strongest rider in the Giro he'll still end up winning. However if he's about as strong as Quintana than obviously this will likely cost him the victory.
