Giro d'Italia 2018 stage 9: Pesco Sannita–Gran Sasso 225 km

[Alexandre B.]

This awful coverage is a useful reminder that the Giro is not considered as the greatest stage race in road cycling.

I'm not totally sure that he's going to be at the start line on tuesday

No brainer really.

It's painful to watch Aru ride when he is this bad. You can really feel what he feel through the TV.

You'd think so but it might be his only GT this year...

A team Sky tradition

 

[Poursuivant]

Yates is the man to beat now, I can see him putting big time into Dumo on Zoncolan

High time to passionately cheer for froome not succeeding after AC retired.

Re: Re:

Wow. Absolutely no transmission from Fubo. Anybody else have poor coverage ?

Yep, I'm on Fubo too. At least when I've used Tiz, missing the end of the race didn't cost me any money.

I'm So Pissed!!! I paid fr no coverage in final KM...it's still going in and out

Tiz didn't drop.

He won't go to the third week unless something changes and it doesn't look likely at the moment. Looks like Michelton v Dumoulin and Pinot now. Froome won't hang around to win a stage and that doesn't look likely either.

Italian Eurosport miles better than listening TO Kirkby

 

[Simurgh]

How much time did Aru lose?

Tiz didn't drop.

Yeah, worked fine at 1080p till the end

Yates is looking really good, but honestly we have no idea how good he'll be in week 3.

Remember in the TDF he was 2' 02" behind after 16 stages, he ended up 6' 14" behind Froome.

He's a very young rider so it's very possible he's developed into a rider that can go the full 3 weeks, but it also seems like he might be peaking right now.

The earlier Aru will disappear the better will be

 

[staubsauger]

Froome probably claims sickness and abandons in the coming days.

Then, all his fans build up the legend how he was only ill and not in bloody awful shape during the Giro d'Italia!

Better to make excuses and pull out saying how devastated he is rather than ride on to finish outside top 3. A top 10 placing would be failure for multiple GT winner. At current form a top 20 would be a struggle.
