Tom vs Yates on a false flat. Tom should win that battle.

Re: Re:

Yates pulling out time on every terrain. Climb, descend, flat.

It wouldn't surprise me anymore if Yates wins the **** time trial at this point

He's not as good as his brother.

so Bernal would be winning the Giro by 5 minutes already

Re:

Yates - there is no other explanation, than that his performance is fueled by clinic stuff ... .

While he does have history in that area, I haven't seen anything too over the top here.

Final climb not categorized? Anyone know max gradient?

There is a profile on the first page of the thread

Re: Re:

Darn, missed the attack. Did Yates just take off and Froome went backwards?

In any case Yates is very impressive! Old style cycling, not quite out of nowhere but it's still a big surprise.

He put in a bluff attack, got pulled back and then put in another attack opening up 10 seconds almost instantly. Very impressive.

Froome was carelessly dropped on the descent before.

Thanks man!

Pozzovivo is riding like a joker who has no team on his own but just helps all other teams taking pulls.

Re:

Tom telling people to ride the cheeky ****

He's sat on the whole way and done nothing

He's missing his Dutch cabal of Kruijswijk and Mollema (+ Jungels) to bail him out this year.

 

[fauniera]

Yates reminds me of Cunego.

How so?

Body size, incredible form in one Giro.

Re:

A couple of km are hard, then easy and then flat.

 

[vedrafjord]

I've seen better-organised chases in club league races.

They're riding for 2nd now.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Next 3km are back to proper climbing

 

[Scarponi]

Dumo losing the giro by being a whining ***, he such a whinger

 

[The Chicken]

what a legendary ride by Yates if this holds

Re:

Probably would if he hadn't used his teammate to force a high pace on the big climb and cooked himself.

 

[Oude Geuze]

Are the Yates brothers taking turn riding the giro? Never a bad day, never a sign of weakness, exceptional performance.

Re:

If he wasn't riding like he's in a group of five two minutes ahead of anyone else with 6km to go in a flat race.

 

[silvergrenade]

Losing respect for Dumo.

 

[Jagartrott]

Brainless riding by Dumoulin. Simply baffling stupidity.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Re:

Yates has won. They don't co operate and Dumoulin alone doesn't have the strength

Yates wins the Giro. It's over.

@edit: Froome is returning to the group Dumoulin even

 

[Singer01]

Froome group going to catch the Tom D group?
