Re:

What happened?
Did I miss something?

Piss-a-lago. Pissgate if true but probably just more fake news

 

[Red Rick]

Dumoulin saved by the virtue of all Dutch men missing the split

 

[Forever The Best]

So they all wait? Okay.

Plus Yates/Orica were a big help.

Phew at least I can go the bathroom and get breakfast now!

better not moviestar will attack and youll never catch up :razz:

 

[SlickMongoose]

Yeah if Jungels hadn't been in the front group, I don't think it would have come back.

 

[Climbing]

It was fun until it lasted, game over.

Theres a first time for everything

Indeed. Yates chasing Jungels decided the Giro.

Re:

Just look how far down Dumoulin was before the split happened

There you have it just not paying attention and way down the group, thinking no one would do anything this early. Hopefully he learned to keep his Big Mouth shut.

 

[BigMac]

Just love the you-do-something tone in most of Costa's attacks when he's not going right for the win. Ups the pace for 10 meters, sees if anybody followed and gives them the you're-supposed-to-pull-me-now look right away.

Did Movistar attack when Dumoulin was on a natural break?

Re:

You've said 10 times now it's game over. Everytime it turns out it isn't.

Did Movistar attack when Dumoulin was on a natural break?

Sunweb DS said to Dutch Eursoport yes. To RAI no. So I guess we will never know. I think it's suspect

Everything back together but basically all domestiques are gone.

Nibali has 1 team mate, Quintana and Dumoulin none. Seems a few for Pinot there. So that was quite costly in terms of help for later.

 

[SlickMongoose]

Apparently Jungels was docked 5 seconds for hanging onto a team car yesterday. Hadn't heard about that until now.

The only way he'd be that far down is coming back from a toilet stop. Apparently it's been "confirmed" on dutch ES, though I'm not listening to that.

 

[Climbing]

Tom Big Mouth looks cooked, but there is no more terrain to attack. :lol:

 

[msjett]

So what happens now...all GC riders have blown the doors of their domestiques, and all the opportunists are buggering off in hope of stage win...

 

[dacooley]

TD has an impressive composure or he's feeling really bad today?

 

[Pricey_sky]

We may have a calmer hour or so, but that final final climb could be carnage, a lot of energy used up by many riders.

 

[SafeBet]

I expected better from Movistar. Surprising to see Nairo is already alone.

Umm TD just passed another test.
Test 1: The queen stage
Test 2: Yesterday
Test 3: A Formigal type ambush

 

[dfromdub]

Poor Tom will ride with diapers on fron now until the end of his career

 

[vcampbell]

The lack of people on the front reminds me the Val di Fassa stage from Giro 2011.
