Re:

stage looks boring now. Still think this will crack some legs on the final climb. They might actually put time on Dumoulin now.

The final actually suits Dumoulin.

Attacking when someone stops for a pee is fine as long as you accept that the same can happen to you from pretty much that point on in any race you ride in.

Spekenbrink aan de telefoon gehad. Hij heeft níet bevestigd dat Dumoulin aan het plassen was.

-No pee break

I also think Dumoulin would've been a lot more angry. I think he is now more angry with himself. They got him napping and Bahrein and Movistar were fully justified to ride.

I guess that the facts will emerge in about 2 hours - when Tom gets asked after the finish.

Surely his team saying he wasn't stopped clears everything up

Sunweb DS will be very keen on making their riders use this next time

 

[Arredondo]

Looks like i didn't miss anything.....

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Some people would defend the right of favourite riders to personally cut the brakes of their opponents. And angrily denounce the bias or softness of anyone who objects. Certain degrees of fandom are best understood as a form of psychosis.

 

[El Pistolero]

Iwan Spekenbrink confirmed to Thijs Zonneveld that he does not know whether or not Tom was having a piss break.

 

[KGB]

This giro start to be all about taking sh*it and taking pee.wtf,bring back on classic season.

I think the fact that they were racing so hard on flat roads and and easy climb is good for TD and bad for Quintana / Nibali

It's not an easy climb. The first few kilometers are very hard. Then a normal middle part and flat end.

Brilliant tweet by McEwan - completely agree

What did he say?

"Quintana & Nibali have been consistent in this #Giro100 - between them they have attacked at every moment you're not supposed to #newschool"

What an idiot

McEven always have been Idiot, that is nothing new

 

[jaylew]

If we don't know why he was sitting so far back on the descent, maybe the riders didn't/don't know either.

The Cat 2 that we've done already I meant. The final climb no doubt is almost on a par with Blockhaus

Nice tower!

This is the kind of stage Nibali normally thrives on. If he's bad today, it means he's fading.

Nibali's dark magic strikes again.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Mechanical Dumoulin.

Dumoulin trying to win the Giro with as many incidents as he can!

#peegate
Guess the truth will be somewhere in the middle: They attacked when he was just coming back after the pee-pee break. Everybody happy?

 

[bassano]

Re: Re:

Sunweb DS confirmed to RAI that Tom wasn't on a toilet break when they attacked. Heard with my ears.

That wont stop those that want to trash MS and Bahrain.

LOL czech commentators are claiming exact opposite - that Sunweb DS confirmed they did attack during t-b. Maybe they've got lost in the translation though.

Ar first they said it even on Eurosport but they changed it after they recieved better information and also Czech commentators doesn´t have any idea what is usually going on there

 

[SeriousSam]

Dumoulin drafting a car, should be disqualified

 

[Dukerojo]

Dump riding behind the cars

 

[Irondan]

TD just blew past the team mate that came back to help him back to the bunch...lol

Dumoulin sucking the wheels of an orange car to catch the group #He'sallowedHe'sagoodguy
