Alright boys I have seen a lot in cycling over 20 years , but this might be too much for me to take. How is this even possible?

at least schleck and contador faded. wtf is this.

Dumo and Froome have been riding against each other on their own pretty much. No reason for the gap to come down. Pinot Lopez and Carapaz should take chunks out of Froome when they attack though

Keep in mind that Froome has been there done that and bought a wardrobe.

"Why don't Lopez and Carapaz just ride off" lol some minds have clearly been lost in the maelstrom today.
lol, indeed. I bet half the people saying that hadn't even heard of Carapaz three weeks ago.

Froome should just keep going and start tomorrow's stage. Doesn't need the rest.
I'm kinda upset Froome will be in pink after this, if he were behind Dumoulin we'd see another solo tomorrow.

Froome often has a bad day after an 80km MTT. Not saying it'll happen, but it's not hard to imagine Tom taking enough back tomorrow.

I don't get why Carapaz and Lopez can't just easily ride Dumoulin off their wheel. I mean they haven't been in the wind for 70 kilometers and this climb should suit them well.

For the same reason they've lost 7 minutes to him so far this Giro. He is stronger.

They must have been pushing about 150W for the last hour and still can't drop him on the climb!!!!??

They're human. Either that or... what?
Are you implying other riders are not human :eek: :eek:

I've been clinic free for about a year. Don't tempt me with a relapse!
