Giro 2017, stage 18: Moena - Ortisei 137 km

Re: Re:

The final climb is nowhere near hard enough for Nibali or Quintana to gain the two minutes they need on Dumo. They need to try something long range

Then its good the Giro doesn't end today isn't it, Andrew

If they can't do it today then it's hard to imagine them getting this time on Piancavallo or the terrible 20th stage

Foza and Piancavallo are harder than Pontives, so it really isnt.

Scenery reminds me of the North Cascade's in Washington state.. Breathtakingly beautiful.

Orica doing something here. Hopefully Yates will attack.

Foza and Piancavallo are harder than Pontives, so it really isnt.

Piancavallo might as well be a ____/ stage and Foza is a steady climb which ends 15km before the finish. Not exactly great stages for long range attacks to gain 3+ minutes.

Nibali might try on Valgardena top and descent. Quintana not likely, although he will try to follow Nibali

 

[WheelofGear]

Yates wants some time on Jungels. White jersey is still possible but he needs some time before the TT.

 

[SafeBet]

Peloton already very thin. Orica means business today.

But today's stage is way harder, they need to try at least...

 

[lartiste]

pace increased Sunweb guys quickly disappeared, there is only one (Ten Dam?) with TD

 

[Baldinger]

Impressive dig by Juul Jensen there.

 

[SlickMongoose]

Polanc drops.

 

[glassmoon]

ok, i just officially don't get those RAI streams. it was on rai sport1, then switched to rai2 and now... i have no idea where it is actually.

 

[lartiste]

Polanc cannt keep the pace and is behind the group

 

[SafeBet]

Polanc gone, he could lose a lot today.
