Wow, just came back to find Pinot completely out, that's a shock ! Did he collapse right at the foot of the climb ?

 

[Red Rick]

Mikel Nieve might be the best climber to never top 7 a GT.

Re:

The RAI motorcycle reporter just noted that Dumoulin does not look in is best shape

Not surprised, everyone in the break from yesterday looks done in......apart from someone

Re:

Nieve.
Nieve = Snow.

Ha. Nice paper boying illustration.

When I got my first real road bike, I'd do it to on the 18% grade I lived on. This is back when it was normal for a regular-person bike to have a 42-28 low gear.

THIS. Also, don't forget Uran

Guy came second on the Alto Campoo Vuelta 2015.

By the end of the Giro there won't have been many teams that have won stages with both Mitchelton and QS looking to maybe take 10 stages between them. Last stage will likely go to QS or Bora who are already on 2, Sky has 2 also.

 

[Oude Geuze]

Nieve will take the stage, Tom no energy to attack, sky no reason to attack, same with Astana. This is like a procession of soldiers returning from the Great War, ragged, sick and exhausted. I have seen a race this brutal before. The best man won it though, no doubt CF is the greatest 3 week stage rider in the past decade.

Re:

Certainly. But Uran's last year was even more uninspiring. I only saw him once the whole Tour. When he stood on the podium in Paris.

Let's hope that Carapaz can do something today. He does seem stronger than Lopez at the moment.

They won't chase an old Bro down

Can Ciccone take the Mountains Jersey off of Froome?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Is it just me or is Nieve looking much better on a bike than previously when his knees were always pointing in all directions?

 

[GuyIncognito]

Re:

Can Ciccone take the Mountains Jersey off of Froome?

No

 

[Hayabusa]

Has Froome sealed the mountains jersey now with Nieve going over the top of the climb first?

marginal gain sky didn't spot

Re: Re:

No

He can if he wins the stage

Edit: actually no, as Grossschartner was 2nd over the top

 

[Carols]

Re: Re:

Pinot done, great!
Dumo should be next, Great Giro!

Out of curiousity why is this great and why would it be great if dumoulin was next? Seems like quite a negative approach toward watching cycling?

Doesn't the user name say it all?

You didn't watch carefully then. Urán won a stage on a single speed bike

Would Carapaz be any better though?

 

[superconfex]

You can do this Michael Snow
