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

[Tim Cahill]

Don't think Roglic is actually that bad but it's worth trying at least

 

[Samamba]

And how is Almeida and UAE better than Ineos and Jumbo?
Didn't he won the stage two days ago?
Why his team doesn't ride?

Becuase they already have 3 stage wins???? They actually have something this Giro??? He already wasn't a topfavorite.

How Pinot has 6 minutes now??? Remco wouldn't let that happen

 

[Pantani_lives]

Same as pretty much every other Giro stage. Absolutely nothing

It's too early to attack. They're waiting for the final week.

 

[Tim Cahill]

De Plus in the contract year, surely they will re-sign

Maybe even go for some stages in the Vuelta

We are missing so much GC action without our extrovert Belgian friend. I miss him so much! 😔

The 2nd part of this climb can be nasty in the summer heat.

Pinot's third week of a GT bad luck is still alive.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Whats happening? Just tuned in. Seems like a relaxing day on the bike at the minute.

My man!

 

[Barnacle Bill]

I'll only write Rog off when he gets his full mummy outfit out. Meanwhile, Thomas hasn't got too much support left.

I have no idea why riders like Kamna fight for a minor place in GC 3 weeks long to then just let someone jump over them in GC for free. There's absolutely no reason why Bora would not try to keep this at 4 min for example. it's not like they have to save their other riders for anything now.

And I genuinly hope Almeida takes everyhting in this Giro from now on so that Ineos and Jumbo leave with nothing after this passive shiit show for 3 weeks long.

Eh? Nothing worse than teams giving the likes of Ineos or Jumbo a free ride because they're definding 7th or whatever in GC. Besides that, Boras team here is ***, Kämna was isolated already on the first climb, the others made it back because the Peleton sat up, don't see how much use they would've been pacing.

 

[Red Rick]

Breakaway not losing time that quickly

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bit early for Buitrago to get dropped.

They could have paced in the valley, where the break was taking minutes even after they made it back.

It's slowly happening.

Nothing to with free ride, Ineos didn't have to work anyways, It's not like they had to use any relevant riders on the flat). Bora had enough riders back to keep this at 4' for example if they wanted. Don't just ride for a 7th place 3 weeks long to just give it away at the end. That's just stupid.

 

[Sciatic]

Barguil could do some damage on the descents if he hangs on over the top.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Nooo Santi!
Wawamania vs Hot Goat Summer for the stage win?

 

[gregrowlerson]

Imagine if a herd of goats suddenly crossed the road and blocked the peloton.

 

[Didinho]

Hard pace now!

 

[HelloDolly]

De Plus on a Kuss day

 

[Gigs_98]

Man do I love this part of the world. These Alpine woods with the dolomites in the background. No prettier place on the planet

What happened to Carthy's third and normally-favourite week?

What happened to Carthy's third and normally-favourite week?

They didn't race the first two weeks.

 

[Elos Anjos]

You have to remember that Carthy is 194cm. So due credit.
