If Konig is not there every team should leave the whole chase on Sky's shoulders.
Tinkoff are big idiots indeed.
Imagine what idiot instructions they're getting

Kreuziger just took his earpiece off. He's contemplating what type of RV to ask from Oleg for tonight.

Tinkoff needs Bjarne......whoever is running the show is showing questionable judgement IMO.

Tinkoff pulling the peloton could be a way of forcing the leading group to ease the pace so Kreuziger can close the gap. Olegs mafia tactics, you know... Let my rider join you or we close the whole thing down.

On Rai (Italian TV), Silvio Martinello is saying he's baffled by Tinkoff's tactics, and he's totally right.

Kreuziger is not the only guy with GC potential in the group. Tinkoff want the gap to be manageable in case Roman blows it in some stage. They'd be putting all eggs in a basket named Roman if they let the group win with 15 minutes, instead of 3 or 4. If Roman is in good form I would say 4 minutes is enough for him.

If Alberto really don't want Kreuziger to win the Giro, he should tell Kreuziger not to pull in his group.

They did that when a breakaway group wouldn't let Nicki Sørensen join them a couple of years ago in the Tour. Did work back then, as I remember
