I do feel bad for anyone who's dropped like that. Wonder if Pinot has some kind of gastro thing? It was like he hit a wall and started paper-boying immediately.

Probably was struggling for a while and just couldn't keep going anymore at one point.
 
Astana must be laughing themselves silly. Don't even set a high pace and the guy you need to beat to get onto the podium randomly blows up out of nowhere. Now just need to chill out and not let Carapaz jump them

This guy is just a mess.

What about illness? It's just obvious looking at the pictures.

If MAL or Carapaz ends on the podium I will be terribly sad about this Giro. Like a lot.
If Dumoulin doesn't make the mistake of allowing Pinots bike change and then waiting for Reichenbach constantly, he stays in the pink jersey because Carapaz & Lopez ride with him and Pinot ain't got no shot at the podium anyway.
Pinot had a bike change?

Dont think so. He fixed his bike himself I think.

Yesterday -- either a change or a rear flat.

It would have been interesting, for sure, but you can see why he didn't. 4/5 against one with 80km left? I liked those odds.

I won't necessarily be said if MAL podiums -- he's not my favorite rider but he showed crazy legs in the Vuelta. So if he podiums here it will show that he can ride a complete 3 week race, something that's eluded everyone so far except for Froome and Dumoulin (who were the putative favorites before the race...so if in the end the podium is CF, TD, MAL, it won't be any kind of surprise but rather what we all expected all along)

Didn't he get some assistance from the neutral service car? At least he stepped off his bike after Dumoulin signaled him he would wait for him.

You right staub. It burried their hopes..

There is still a debate between a puncture or a bike change. I still don't know what really happened to Pinot right before cresting Finestre
