3 Lotto's however. Who knows, we might be looking at a conspiracy between Sunweb and Jumbo.

I don't think attacking before the final climb is very reasonable for dumoulin anyway

I think the definition of attack that cyclists typically use aren't gonna work anyway

Oomen to set the pace on the penultimate climb, Dumoulin to jump to Gesink just before the top?

Well even if it does you don't want the whole sky train chasing you for one and a half climbs + a descent

Hopefully Oomen has a good day

 

[Squire]

Nieve for the stage, then.

 

[capuldemetal]

Re:

Probably Chiapuccio

Woods vs Ciccone vs Nieve....Nice!

Re:

Gesink is also a threat. He has been targeting these two last mountain stages.

Re:

Should be 12:30 today

 

[silvergrenade]

Why is Viviani smashing himself in the breakaway?
He should be getting ready for tomorrow.

 

[ppanther92]

Nieve will win this race. Looked downright bored guiding Yates yesterday, so he should be fresh.

 

[DNP-Old]

Astana leading the bunch. They want this.

He can probably secure the jersey today

My beloved Tze Core finally gets a Giro run out, and I won't be watching.

Ciccone needs all 3 KOM points to win the blue jersey. So does Lopez. Carapaz only needs to be first on Saint Pantaleon and win the stage in Cervinia to secure it.

Edith adds that Montaguti needs to be first over all 3 cols as well, while Yates needs 35 points once and more points than Froome on another col.

Depending on what Froome does. I find the likelihood of Carapaz being first over Saint-Panthaléon and winning the stage, while Froome and Pinot are out of the mountains points, quite unlikely, as he's clearly too dangerous to let ride over to the break, and if he did go all out like that you know he's taking López with him, and they're too far up the GC for that to work, cos they'd need to be away over Saint-Panthaléon with a break in the middle between them and the maglia rosa group, and then that group still be between them up the climb of Cervinia and numerous enough to take all those mountains points away from the other GC men, which seems unlikely.
