Giro d'Italia 2013, stage 18: Oderzo - Val Di Zoldo 161 km

[Tim Cahill]

Pinot gets caught between gaining time and winning the stage, unless you're a world class mountain sprinter you cant really have both.

Winning a Giro mountain stage in the Italian NC jersey (a proper one too) is a nice feather to put on your hat.

Signing Dunbar and Zana was pretty good business by Jayco last off season.

the group gifted him each kom today

There are some mountains points for fastest climb, right?

I think it's been established that I know nothing about those things.

 

[dazaau]

I was surprised there was no stomp/attack by roglic near the top of either of the last climbs. Interesting.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

So congrats to the thin man's Ganna on winning the stage! As for the GC action, Primoz is back! Almeida lost time but unfortunately G. was right on the Slovenian's wheel all the time. Kuss is very strong and we are in for a spectacle tomorrow and possibly a nailbitter on Saturday. The race is very much on.

Roglič missing wins, but stealing Kusses and kisses.

Frankly, nobody expected this from Zana. Shows you how bad Bardiani were during the last few years...

 

[Pippo_San]

Free Zana ❤️

GT looking good!
PR not done yet!

He clearly accelerated during the time Zanna and Pinot finished. Almeida had almost caught them and lost 20 seconds in the end.

Especially since he's from Veneto

If Zana ever gets a thread "Thin Man's Ganna" should definitely be included in the title!

He and G paced the climb together, i didn't see an out the saddle classic watt bomb from roglic

I thought he might be better than what he showed at Bardiani but didn’t expect his climbing to be this good.

 

[Netserk]

Here and Fossombrone. Rogla is Bota Lume's kryptonite, attacking and forcing a selection to the benefit of Thomas too.

G has rode a canny race. Put his nose into the wind less than the other 2, but gained time on both. Race on for the next 2 days though.

No

 

[Mayomaniac]

I thought he might be better than what he showed at Bardiani but didn’t expect his climbing to be this good.

He always had his best results in one day races, so I expected him to be more of a one day racer/stagehunter on hilly terrain on his new team, not something like this.

 

[RedheadDane]

No

Yes! Don't argue, I'm shorter than you are.

 

[JRanton]

Thomas really is peak form at 36 lmao

37 today.
