Would be crazy if this Giro comes down to the six seconds Quintana got for his second-place sprint.

They're clearly making Quintana work, and he can't complain he did the exact same thing to Dumoulin.

In a real mountain stage Zaka might've laid the foundation to win the Giro actually!

There has been enough mountain stages for the pure climbers to have made that difference. Just because the penultimate stage has a flat/downhill finish doesn't delegitimise the situation.

If Pozzovivo wasn't such a coward earlier in the climb and actually helped Zakarin, they would have been able gain more time and probably have enough to hold off and gain the precious bonus seconds. Now it's almost all for naught. I feel kind of bad for Zakarin. All the work he and his team put up to animate the stage has come to no gains.

Wow, they must be joking in the front group? I guess Bob will say thank you in a few kilometers :)
