Re:

BMC riding with de Marchi up the road

Hey BMC let Astana do it !!!

Given that Di Marchi is no GC threat and barely a threat to win the stage either in that company it's not really a strong card to play

How many kms to the finish?

Dude... its obviously Chaves who is the biggest threat.
De la Cruz the next one.

Astana again nowhere to be seen. Let's hope they have a good plan for the last climb. So far, they appeared pretty planless though.

The poin t I am making is bring him back if you are riding

but even if he is not the biggest threat being there surley you let Astana or Bora chase

They have more to lose anyway if Chaves gets a bunch of time

This wouldn’t have been possible without the previous two stages.

 

[Kazistuta]

Where can I find the composition of the break?

EDIT: And there it was on CN ticker.

Well, theres really no point in chasing at the moment.

I said he might turn out. Chaves is more likely.

De la Cruz is already way down in GC. And I don't believe for one second in Henao in the high mountains.

No point in bringing him back while their doms are controlling it fairly comfortably but it's an option later I suppose. BMC have enough engines. A lot of passengers in that breakaway

Bad luck for Ciccone. Going for the Etna stage (and the climber jersey) probably was the plan from the beginning, but the presence of Chaves et al is ruining it.

Thanks

And if this is contained at 3 minutes, the stage might be gone but it's no big deal.

How about being in the break instead?

 

[Scarponi]

Etna will always hold a special place in my heart. It was one of my favourite Scarponi moments. Even though he cracked severely I still love and watch that initial bridge to one of Contadors biggest ever attacks. Good memories.

Im happy mitchelton send 2 gc guys. They always play those cards well. Giro just started and they allready send one of their leaders in a breakaway.
