RAI saying Dumoulin wasn't taking a piss when the attacked occured.

Why is Orica chasing?

Need to protect that 7th place yo.

Re:

Perhaps Jungels or Formolo in the front group?

Re: Re:

There's a good 30 riders rotating in the Dumo group. Could come back.

How long is it until the next climb? If it's not within bridgeable distance by then, they could be in trouble. Would have been epic if they'd stuck Monte Crostis in this stage somewhere.

The 2nd group will go all-in to stop that. I guess the gap is small enough that Dumo could jump the gap himself. It's soon though!

Are they though?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Gap going the wrong way. Meh.

 

[SeriousSam]

If it takes a huge effort to reach them just in time for the climb, Nibali and Quintana should attack right there and then

Re: Re:

So no one knows how the pink jersey got gapped?

Just some tweet mentioning a pee-break gone viral taken as fact, I bet.

The internet really is fabulous.

Good to see journalists uncritically spreading random tweets afflicts sports as well as politics

it's total cringe.

 

[HelloDolly]

Orica always chasing attacks

 

[deValtos]

Orica is chasing cause Movistar pissed off Whitey when they left Yates for dead the other day. Like dumo didn't make friends, Movistar also don't make friends.

Jungels is with Yates I think, haven't seen Formolo (wrong, apparently Jungels is with Nibali).

I think they're just backing their man for the stage win, even if he's not the favourite. They're not going to win another stage if they don't chase.

 

[Sylvester]

Or Jungels is in the front group and they don't want Yates to lose the best young rider jersey?

 

[Mr.White]

Movistar need to kill this climb!

 

[BigMac]

Re:

nevermind.

If Orica didn't chase it would have been game over I think...

Thats impressive

 

[DFA123]

These GPS gaps have been worthless for most of the race. So unreliable.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Gap going out again. Dumo needs to go solo uphill. It's a risk, but he has to.

 

[Red Rick]

What's the average speed right now?

 

[Pricey_sky]

Jungels is in the Nibali group.

It's all breaking apart on this climb, what a stage!!

 

[SlickMongoose]

Jungels with Nibali apparently.

 

[Forever The Best]

TD will probably catch back on the climb but it was interesting nevertheless.

Re:

Too bad. A move involving a pee break would bring real drama and controversy to an otherwise dull peloton.

 

[SeriousSam]

So Dumoulin is a minute back or what?
