Giro d'Italia 2018 stage 15: Tolmezzo – Sappada 176 km

[TMP402]

Kind of disappointed no-one is making Dumoulin do some work.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Simon Yates-ador?

 

[burning]

Am I watching Ricco? And he sprints on drops too, LMAO

 

[classicomano]

Anyone else get the feeling Yates might win the time trial?

Dude, Dumoulin isn't the reference anymore. It's everyone vs Yates now

Froome still not caught up to Haig and Nieve

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Froome a 1 day wonder - back to a 2 horse race and maybe a 1 horse race if he can make this stick and the group starts fighting over places

 

[markene2]

Yates doing his best to imitate Il Cobra

Re:

Strongest since Crushweak. There's a descent coming up...

Same story as last year. Him having a weak team doesn't matter when he gets so much help from other teams.

 

[The Chicken]

I'm worried for Yates tbh, this surely too early

 

[Climbing]

Ain't gaining much, but his acceleration is impressive.

Horner jr.

 

[fantomas]

Almost one minute on Froome on that muro.

Re:

Yates again! Hope he takes this. Dumoulin is the definition of boring this race.

Dumoulin has his time trial to rely on. His way of approaching the race makes a lot of sense. Pozzovivo and Pinot on the other hand...

Yes

 

[SlickMongoose]

Froome is done (again).

There are different type of riders, and I say Dumoulin is one of the more exciting riders just to look from tactical standpoint and how good he is at not going over the limit

He also attacked in the past and won stages in the mountains. He rides defensively but it is also interesting to see that. Would be boring if everybody did that, but you gotta ride to your strengths and everybody is different.

Na, Dumoulin just constantly holds on. It's annoying. Is he in serious trouble or isn't he?

 

[GuyIncognito]

Haven't seen the maglia rosa go solo like this since Casagrande dominated the 2000 Giro (until a back injury made him lose it)

Pozzo wants a podium, idk about Pinot

Completely agree, sadly it's a dull Wigginsesque approach.

Pozzovivo and Pinot towing Dumoulin to the line however is beyond foolish, though Pinot does owe Tom after yesterday.

 

[HelloDolly]

Yates looks very good but remember the best after him is Pozzo

So at nearly 36 Pozzo is second best so in reality how good is Yates or how bad are the others
