Giro 2017, stage 17: Tirano - Canazei 219 km

Once again, we have a demonstartion of how a peloton at full speed can get time over even a large group in a short distance. Over 40 km, they got the advantage down from 11 minutes to less than 6

Rolland saying buh-bye. Time for the typical Costa-fail.

Re:

Costa chasing down his teammate. Nothing new under the sun here.

He never ws a team player. I hate Costa. How many times have i seen him not contributing to a break, and then win in in the end because he contributed nothing. In French we say he sucks wheels .

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I don't like Rolland, but this victory is well deserved.

Re:

Costa has always been one level above Visconti and Gadret

How can you be above Team Gadret?

 

[MrTea1976]

Woods doing a good job.

 

[shalgo]

Woods is doing a good job marking counter-attacks.

Tbh Gadret was pretty funny, since it was to a Roche! :lol:

Finally, Rolland!

 

[WildspokeJoe]

Nice by Rolland. Woods playing the perfect teammate.

 

[jsem94]

Cannondale about to get a win? Lmao

 

[woodburn]

Rolland in initial break. Went back to the group. Recovered. Now dropped them in style. Very impressive.

 

[May0maniac]

Wow, for once Cannondale is actually doing things right.

 

[Ikbengodniet]

Ai my legs are hurting watching this.

 

[woodburn]

Good time to be listening to French feed even though I have no idea what they are saying.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

1975 training methods ftw.

Re:

I like him. But, i never bought into teh next great French riders. He has little strategic sense and never got good enough in TT . He is the French TVG.

I like Romain Bardet and Julian Alaphillipe way more.

 

[sir fly]

Cannondale is on fire these days.
Chapeau!

 

[woodburn]

Bravo, Pierre.

 

[carton]

Allez Rolland! Well deserved!

 

[carolina]

Is he crying?

Great victory!

Epic fail by UAE. Costa was always favourite for the win in that kind of sprint, and they burnt out his helpers doing loads of pointless work and attacks.

 

[WildspokeJoe]

Well said by Kelly. Rolland has been in the breaks. Well deserved win.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Haha, Costa really deserved this second place.

Exactly. WTF was Conti doing everytime. Looked absolutely clueless.

 

[wolvie15]

That never was a stage i thought a sprinter would win. And i expected the winner to come from a break. Never thought it would be such a huge group though.
