Giro 2017, stage 19: S.Candido/Innichen - Piancavallo 191 km

[Simurgh]

Just got home, what happened? How was Dumo dropped? Is it chaotic out there??

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Tom wasn't caught short again was he ?

 

[Valv.Piti]

They can still close it, hopefully we will have a gap about 30 seconds - 2 minutes the whole way until the last climb so get a good show..

Re:

Nibali is a wise wise man.

He basically said he wasn't sure on his podium either and karma would strike.

easy quintana's giro win as you predicted.

 

[deValtos]

Maybe this is where Sky and Orica help out Sunbweb. Either that or he's ***.

 

[The Barb]

Absolutely incredible. Giro lost in a few moments in the most unlikely of circumstances. Amazing.

 

[Rollthedice]

What's happening? Big Mouth struck by karma?

Time to turn on the stream

Edit: Is there even TV coverage already?

Yates is with Tom but dunno where Jungels and Formolo are? Orica will only help if one of them is up front.

Re:

The first 55-60 km of the stage should be pretty interesting tbh, the terrain is there for a Formigal like ambush. However the fact that there is a very tough MTF in the end will probably scare everyone and no one will go for 175 kms preceding that MTF.
Then the ascent and descent of Sella Chianzutan can be interesting, if Movi/Bahrein have riders in the breakaway and if Nibali/Quintana can attack.

But probably nothing will happen till the start of the final climb.

Time to turn on the stream

Nooooo

I don't think I have said it would be an easy Giro-win... but yeah, they can still close that gap with a bit of help.

 

[Red Rick]

Oh *** me dead already.

 

[Carols]

I Love This! Why do people think it's over until it's over?

 

[Krokro]

How did that happen guys ? Did Movistar paced on the descent and peloton broke ? If anyone has insights thx !

 

[Gloin22]

its amazing, Nibali gonna get another GT while being mediocore, what a rider

 

[Forever The Best]

How much is the gap? Is the GPS wrong?

 

[Jagartrott]

GPS is all wrong - classic Giro trolling.

Seems Movistar and Bahrain drilled it on the descent. Dumoulin must have been too far back.

 

[Rollthedice]

Yes, some briefing on what happened would be nice.

 

[sixtyten]

they're saying the gap is 2mins.

 

[Pricey_sky]

I counted the gap to be less than 40 seconds

 

[SlickMongoose]

Orica going to help?

It happened just before we got pictures (obviously....) so nobody actually saw the move.

 

[deValtos]

Hope tom can come back but for once im pumped we have a race on! Exciting stuff.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Rookie mistake by Tom.

 

[Dukerojo]

now it is 30 seconds
