[italoc]

This has to be one of his top 5 wins ever. What a rider.

Riding on Fellines bike probably did not make the chase any easier. Not much to do about it. Bad luck can happen to anyone

Bad luck ALWAYS happens to Fuglsang in GTs

 

[roundabout]

hoow much time did fuglsang lose?

1'15''

 

[HelloDolly]

Wanty (amongst others) will probably be looking to sign him

Yeah but the chance of a Giro podium is in reach and that may never come again


I am a big fan becasue he has one arm and is riding out of his skin
The way he came back today

He is an unbelievable fighter

Birdsong out of top 10.

Might attack on stage 12 now.

 

[Lexman]

Hats off Sagan !!

 

[pink_jersey]

Not riding his bike is one thing, but casually passing the finish line tells something about the guy mentality.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Man, I just realised it was McNulty in the end, not Bjerg, embarrassing

 

[broppo]

one of the weakest top 10 gcs in the last 10 years, maybe the weakest...

 

[Danskebjerge]

Teammate + car + good legs + riders to jump to

Yeah, but that goes for flat roads, this wasn't.

Man, I just realised it was McNulty in the end, not Bjerg, embarrassing

I was fooled too. Both the commentators and the graphics said Bjerg even if I thought I saw the number 206 on the back - it was only for the briefest of moments, though.

Bad luck ALWAYS happens to Fuglsang in GTs

I just know that if he was to get the lost minutes back and bring himself back into contention in the GT, the race would be cancelled because of corona.

 

[JosefK]

A casual dispensing of voodoo today. GC now lacking most of the usual suspects in the top 10, except for He Who Has It in the Bag. -- And chapeau, Peter Sagan.

 

[johnymax]

one of the weakest top 10 gcs in the last 10 years, maybe the weakest...

Right behind last year's Vuelta

 

[Red Rick]

Name a more iconic duo than Pozzovivo attacks and not getting a gap on anyone.

 

[johnymax]

Almeida looked very strong today.

Everybody was fooled... That's what the ticker said, too...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Name a more iconic duo than Pozzovivo attacks and not getting a gap on anyone.

Trek trying to drill it and only dropping their own riders.

 

[Gigs_98]

Great stage altogether. It was nice to see some gc action as well.

Really unfortunate for Fuglsang but I do have the feeling this won't matter in the longrun anyway. He looked like he was one of the weakest gc riders today on a stage that was supposed to suit him best. If he doesn't look strong here I simply have my doubts he will look any better in the high mountains. The one week stage racing specialist is running out of first week.

Name a more iconic duo than Pozzovivo attacks and not getting a gap on anyone.

That was probably the biggest gap he had after one of his attacks in a while though

 

[SKSemtex]

With this monkey out of his shoulder, he will spread Demare like butter in the next sprints. Hopefully.

 

[Breezy1985]

Great stuff Peter.

What happened to Birdsong. Did he get distracted checking out the trophy cabinet or something?

 

[Volderke]

Very pleased with Sagan taking the win! He needed it, and we need Sagan to re-find his winning pedigree for next season! Looking forward to see him racing against the new-comers in the classics.
