Giro d'Italia 2020, Stage 3: Enna – Etna 150 km

[Forever The Best]

Great win by Caicedo.

 

[fuiers]

Great to finally see Hänninen riding. But not 5mins down with Yates group.

2019: Hey Richard come ride for Ineos and you can lead the Vuelta.
2020: Hey Richard you are 4th choice leader for the Vuelta

 

[broppo]

yates cna drop time and go for the KoM now, Kruijswijk just has to control the race and its in the bag.

 

[Red Rick]

Yates finishing s.t. as Nibali, just as expected

It's the 50W rain buff for Antonio.

He will win the canceled stages in the Alps

 

[JosefK]

EF rewarded for their hallucinatory kits.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Wilco off-camera hero

 

[Red Rick]

Can't wait for Lanterne Rouge cause he was saying no way Nibali beats Yates/Thomas

 

[Volderke]

I had a bet on Kelderman finishing high, and he duly performed!

For those who wondered why Lotto was on the front for a moment: Harm Vanhoucke is a climbing talent, and he is allowed to go for MTN stages.

Don't make me go hunt down your day 3 assertions from the Tour

 

[Wvv]

Bye Bye Brittains Day

 

[huangho]

So, no top 3 GC yet??

 

[Wvv]

Almeida takes pink with 0.3 seconds.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Wilco Kelderman. That is all

Since the other Richard has finished riding with his current team, could he start racing already for his next team?

It's 2020, so don't totally discount it!

EF rewarded for their hallucinatory kits.

I think he was trying to get as far away from the peleton as possible because he was ashamed of his teammates kits

I mean it's difficult to say with Thomas. It's completely ridiculous how heavily favored Thomas was by the bookies pre race, but this performance was most likely caused by a crash. Now that crash might have been his fault but we still don't know how Thomas was matched compared to the others in terms of pure strength.

 

[Volderke]

So did Caicedo loose any time with celebrating the win before the finish? If so, it's a pity for him not wearing the Maglia rosa!

 

[perico]

Caicedo to sign with Ineos I. 5... 4... 3... 2...

 

[Breezy1985]

Bye Bye Brittains Day

Nibali getting Brexit done

No it's not about that. It's about dismissing half a decade of Nibali being meme bad in prep races then always, ALWAYS being there at the top of GC. Meanwhile, Thomas is the guy with two career top 10s in GTs.

Thomas crashing should always be factored in to any predictions of his victory over a 3 week period

 

[HelloDolly]

Sunweb looking good at the Giro too

all this talk of what Evenpol and co would have done here ...but Carapaz would have won by about 10mins at least

It's almost as if he was only a random fan and not an expert.
