Congrats to O'Connor.
To pull it off after yesterday's stage is really impressive.

If De Gendt would ride a bit more conservatively he would easily win these stages. But i guess the plan was to ride for Vanhoucke, who already said before the stage he was feeling bad. Lotto tactics.

Such a high quality group paced by Fausto freakin Masnada. I don't get GTs anymore, sincerely.

Well, considering that the classics have been raced really well this year, I do not understand what is going on with GTs. I just have given up on GTs and basically watch the last 4 kms or so.

Very nice from O'Connor, rubbish day otherwise.

Lack of team strength really hurting the chances of anyone making it harder who might want to

It's a group composed of older riders who never came close to a podium in a GT, some young riders who are clueless as what to do with the amount of Watts they are producing and Vincenzo Nibali.

What a disappointing stage... euh Giro...

 

[Alexandre B.]

What happened on the climb: a guy attacked and was quickly shut down by his own teammate and leader, then everyone followed ´til the finish line.

 

[SafeBet]

Stelvio better deliver.

Madonna di Campiglio has to bee one of the most useless MTFs around, at least Montevergine usually only gets used durning the first week.

 

[Gigs_98]

Gutted for the Herminator, but impressive win by O'Connor. gc battle went pretty much as expected.

 

[savornin]

That was DISAPPOINTING

 

[richwallone]

Sprinting for 1 second gaps... Pathetic from GC riders!!!

 

[Red Rick]

Retroactively cancel Giro please

 

[Bolder]

OK, I concede: that was a lame stage.

It would be at least decent with Daone beforehand.

Am i watching another race? It's a group with 1 aging GT winner. The pace has been barely fast enough to keep them awake all day.

It hasn't been established yet if it was indeed a climb.

 

[Skalman]

2 really boring stages in a row that promised so much

 

[Mayomaniac]

It would be at least decent with Daone beforehand.

I would have prefered a breakaway stage with a finish in Pinzolo, that would have given the riders an incentive to attack yesterday.

 

[sir fly]

It's a tough week and they don't know how Saturday will look like, so everything in place here.

 

[Ranagazoo]

After Etna I thought weak field = chaos every mountain stage. Turns out its the opposite, everyone is terrified of going deep and cracking.

 

[roundabout]

It would be at least decent with Daone beforehand.

the maxi version of 2015 while not great is probably the best way to do this climb
