what's De Gendt doing?

 

[Sciatic]

De Gendt, to his teammate: “Dare me to attack right off the friggin front here”
Teammate: “Ok, dare ya”

 

[RedheadDane]

what's De Gendt doing?

Attacking. Trying to win the stage, I'd guess.

 

[Krokro]

GPS timegaps are Il Giroing

 

[titan31]

Gap is going all over the place

[Cassirer]

what's De Gendt doing?

Getting 2:20 in ~15 seconds on the peloton according to GPS...

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

He's De Gendt!

 

[Sciatic]

So much for Kelderman taking a ninja approach to this Giro with his team on the front.

He has gained a minute in 5 km though.

De Gendt is a meme. I know it's how he likes to ride and he obviously gets some success but it so often is bafflingly timed

(just waiting for the pack to soft pedal and him to bridge successfully so i look truly moronic...)

 

[Lexman]

Rubio in a seat being led by De Gendt (defending Caretera's position of course)

Why? He tried relentlessly to get in the break but failed. Lotto managed to put a man in the break so he sat in the peloton.
As soon as his teammate dropped from the break he attacked, giving Lotto another shot at a stage win, since the gap to the break was kinda small at that point.

Those riders in the break have been on the front for 150+ km, so they sure are more tired than him. To me it makes sense.

Some memes never fail to entertain!

It's hardly super pace behind and with weaker teams it should have been more chaotic

 

[Billie]

Hagen pff and he's the mountain domestique for Froome next year?

He's setting the perfect pace for Froomey tbf

 

[roundabout]

Conti is in trouble

 

[markene2]

Common Yates attack!

 

[BlueRoads]

Not sure if de Gendt works fully for himself, or also for Vanhoucke because Hagen dropped?

 

[sir fly]

If De Gendt manages to rest a bit when catches the breakaway, maybe he'll have a chance to hit the descent in front of the bunch.
If...

 

[Salvarani]

Ganna is good

 

[SafeBet]

Lol Ganna worked all this time for Puccio and turns out he's much better on the steepest part of the climb anyway.

 

[Salvarani]

Ganna attack on the top and gets a gap it is over

 

[Eclipse]

Lol Ganna worked all this time for Puccio and turns out he's much better on the steepest part of the climb anyway.

That's future GT winner Ganna to you
