Re: Re:

When was the last time someone won anything at WT level from an 80k+ solo breakaway?

Quintana on Vuelta/16... But it was Contador's idea

Wasn't a solo...

In the third rest day, just like Jesus, the messiah as ressurected, all Hail the puff GOD!

Gilbert last year

Only 25km off there...

If Froome doesn't lose time now...

Would you be surprised? It should be almost dead tbh...

This performance just leaves a sour taste

Rotten, not sour in my opinion.

 

[willbick]

How bad will froomes cough be at the end?!

 

[TMP402]

Froome has lost 15" in the last 2km and the climb hasn't really started yet.

 

[woodburn]

Froome out of bidons.

 

[carton]

So funny that people think Lopez and Carapaz should be riding for Dumoulin for some reason.

Re: Re:

Not sure at all what kind of reception that performance gets. Fanboys are over the moon, but a lot of people will be thorougly disgusted and angry (in the real world too, not only on this forum). It's just so far over the top.

If the result stands, than it's absolutely cycling history and one of the all time great performances.

And few people who aren't "fanboys" and/or Italian give a *** about the Giro anyway.

That was 55km or so.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

No Porte to Hand Froome a gel on the final cllimb...

Tongue in cheek comment, but this is by no means over.

 

[jaylew]

It will be hilarious if this all gets stripped from the books

 

[lartiste]

Froome seems to be a bit tired at the moment, and the gap is decreasing a bit ... .

That was 55km or so.

With half a team of potential winners that no one wanted to help drag up to him.

No they should not but its funny Dumoulin is boring and Lopez is hailed as this godly attractive rider who wheel sucked almost the entire Giro

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Froome is preserving energy for another epic solo tomorrow.

 

[dfromdub]

Froome will never walk the same after this stage.

Yeah the suggestion that they're somehow disrupting the GC battle when they're clearly doing the exact opposite.

Re:

Oops, Dawg doesn't look too bright...

Yes Froome to lose time...once Reichenbach drops out !

 

[shalgo]

Lopez to attack and catch Froome.

 

[Brullnux]

Reichenbach may be a terrible descender but he has had a very good day today

 

[Rollthedice]

The group is descending and Froome is climbing but he keeps taking time
