Sanchez is actually a really good transfer from Movistar, he has a nice kick, still, no way Alaphilippe would have lost this sprint a few years ago.

And the Italian EF rider took all the wind out of everything, he did a great ride in the forbidden zone to stay for4th!!!I miss remco doing things like sprinting from the bunch thinking he’s won the race and not realizing men up the road
Even Cav is still winning ***, but not AlaphilippeGreat win for Sanchez, Alaphilippe must be feeling more washed up than ever though...
I miss remco arguing with Almida after getting dropped for 5 minutes on a gravel sectorI miss remco doing things like sprinting from the bunch thinking he’s won the race and not realizing men up the road
And he was getting gapped in those early fast,fast pace breakaway attempts, he looked toasted then!!I love Julian, but when you lost by less then a bike length to another fast finisher, you've got to wonder whether trying to drive a hopeless move with van poppel and gaviria clear before the first climb was a good idea.
I was suprised he lost the sprint.Unfortunately Ala was robbed of the stage win. But as the giro is just training for the inevitable Olympics-Wcrr double (the real double), we can all be happy for him. Getting better, stronger and wilder-one day at a time.
You should have heard his pre-race interview where he stated he was dreading the stage.I must admit I didn't expect Plapp to light up the gravel stage
I once went to fancy-dress as a 'trick cyclist'. Combination of magician's and cycling gear. Everyone was perplexed and I think Orla is producing the same reaction.Lady commentator in the studio finally wearing some sensible shoes
I think she is striking a blow for feminism, by not making any effort in her clothing choices.Lady commentator in the studio finally wearing some sensible shoes
Spanish language broadcast has a blonde w a sweater, white shirt and black bra for some reason and a strawberry red hair woman named Laura something and the other girl Alberto Contador!!Lady commentator in the studio finally wearing some sensible shoes
How was he "robbed"?Unfortunately Ala was robbed of the stage win. But as the giro is just training for the inevitable Olympics-Wcrr double (the real double), we can all be happy for him. Getting better, stronger and wilder-one day at a time.
It was a daylight robbery!How was he "robbed"?
The chick from English Eurosport is terrible. And by that I mean annoying.Spanish language broadcast has a blonde w a sweater, white shirt and black bra for some reason and a strawberry red hair woman named Laura something and the other girl Alberto Contador!!
The female broadcaster in Spanish is excellent and she doesn't get all foamed up yelling about anything
Mezgec trolling Ewan with that 6th place.
I think her and Mielke are about equally bad. I don't find them too annoying, but they usually add nothing of interest at all.The chick from English Eurosport is terrible. And by that I mean annoying.
Only Landa was blunt enough to admit that that was the plan during the 2015 Giro.Ineos tactics: weaken pogacar by riding hard each stage so that we have a chance to podium or even win the tour 😜😅
