what is wrong with you.. if the last days have proven anything it's that the giro is far from over. Dumoulin could have a bad climb. Pinot could have a super day. Hell even crazy Zak could solo away, win 2 minutes and win the whole thing. Imagine that

If Dumoulin listened to you he might as well have DNF'd as soon as he took his toilet break.

Hope they catch the break. Nobody cares about the fight for the second place from an irrelevant guy GC-wise, when there are GC riders fighting behind.

I hate to repeat myself, but Pin and Zak to blow the race to smithereens on the final climb. Dum will hang on for dear life, but will limit the damage. Nib and Qui will lose huge chunks on the final climb and will be off the podium. It will be between Pin, Zak and Dum tomorrow.

The surround noise (I suppose from the finish area?) in the Eurosport commentator booth is both annoying and funny imo.

While this is true, it's funny that it comes from the guy who claimed the Giro was over for Tom when he was 20 seconds behind the others yesterday.

I see no situation where Nibali and Quintana lose a lot of time but Dumoulin loses less

But yes it could end up that he dug his own grave on Ortisei

I want Katusha to not win this solely because of that Alpecin commercial every 10 minutes.

Did the Fox take that KoM sprint?

She's not in this race

How do you know it was a female fox?
(That fox sprinting against Devenyns)

I suspect he was referring to Megan of that ilk, apparently for comedic effect.

And I was talking about the actual literal (somewhat dead) fox.

Dekker is superstious man, he tries everything over past week, saying dom won, saying dom lost

Over past 2 days he must said 20 times how Giro is over for him :lol:

Zakarin isn't in that commercial - as far as I can see - so I think he should get a free pass.

Pathetic race. They made a hard pace and only 7-8 guys were left, then Kiserlovski started to pace and everyone came back.
Kiserlovski can not do damage his is a joke a few yrs already.

I think this last week is a perfect example for how a bad route can influence the racing. This is the third stage in a row where riders were all over the road extremely early on but at the end nothing happens before the final climb. We just had a climb where the peloton was reduced to 8 riders 8 (!!!) kilometers from the top of the climb but it was not possible to use that situation for an attack. If they had used the southern side of the Grappa the race would probably look completely differently right now.
