this race is garbage

What else can you expect, when Puzzovivo dictates the race?

this race is garbage

It's OK... You can't have fireworks every day

this race is garbage

So don't watch it.....

Masnada turned out to be a pretty good mid season acquisition so far. Quickstep had a few injuries with Stybar, Remco and Jakobsen (just to name the most prominent ones) and he filled the gap and then some. Great so see that Almeida still has 2 riders with him. I honestly didnt expect Quickstep so good in support.

Honoré has been impressive as well. Never noticed him much up until this race.

 

[SarahtheDane]

Gigs, are you secretly still watching?

It's OK... You can't have fireworks every day

From what I understand, the fun happened early on... while I was busy washing floors.

 

[Mayomaniac]

All this heat for Pozzovivo while he's the nicest guy you can imagine, give him a break.

Nibali with his 20th wardrobe change of the day

Him suddenly having a black rain jacket biggest horror movie of 2020

I feel like we had fireworks anyway. How many times do you see the bunch reduced to 25 riders 60k out on a hilly day in a GT? it just didn't blow up completely at the end

So don't watch it.....

It probably didn't say garbage in the TV guide to be fair.

I don't think I have ever seen a Ukrainian-Ecuadorian battle before.

Yes. I think it was shaping up to be a great showdown, but then the cold rain literally put a damper on things. Hard to take big risks when you can't feel your handlebars.

 

[tobydawq]

He is actually catching him!

It's around 10 seconds only.

To be fair one can change the channel

If Narvaez wins this and with Ganna stages + the next two ones from the remaining ITT, Ineos can leave the Giro with 5 stages. They also had Castroviejo and Puccio in 2nd...Nice showing.

Imagine two teams(Ineos and FdJ) winning more than half of the stages.

Nvm, Padun will catch Narvaez

 

[Rollthedice]

Padun will get him.

 

[sir fly]

Would've been a true exploit to finish off the job in this weather.
I think NTT did a great job.

 

[tobydawq]

Narváez would still be the favourite for the sprint, I think.

 

[Krokro]

this race is garbage

Worst Giro edition I've seen until now. But covid played its role to waste this whole freaking year

 

[Eyeballs Out]

That pucture might actually work in Padun's favour if they're both more tired at the finish and it becomes more a test of strength than speed

 

[richwallone]

Almeida is the only one in the group of the GC favorites riding without a jacket, not even arm warmers... The maglia rosa must keep him warm

It's pretty advanced tactics. With that kind of brain power in the cars, Bilbao will surely win this race.

He's wearing a jacket with short sleeves.

 

[spalco]

Nvm, Padun will catch Narvaez

Doesn't mean he wins the stage.
