A.Nibali forcing

My money's on Castroviejo.

Things are looking quite good for Guerreiro at the moment. He is more explosive than Castroviejo

 

[RedheadDane]

Castroviejo and Guerreiro off the front.
Bjerg suddenly remembering that despite his name, he's not actually a climber.

Dear god. The Trek train is useless. Second guy not able to follow Brambilla.

The quality of the GC in this GT is the poorest I’ve seen.

Lost Yates and Thomas. I think the lack of supporting casts is the real problem. I don´t want a train but at least someone that can push some of the weaker GC guys to the limit.

The gc riders are bad, their support worse

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This might be the first GT where the weakness of the trains is hurting the race.

 

[Forever The Best]

Would laugh so hard if the mountain stages of week 3 get cancelled or shortened and Almeida or someone similar wins this. Almeida will gain more and more time in the next TTs, Nibali and co. are looking at 2-3 minutes, they are playing a very dangerous game letting Quick Step soft pedal another stage.

 

[Eclipse]

Got to love that epic low cloud

Yes. It’s the lack of attacking that is depressing for me. It’s a rest day tomorrow but the lack of appetite to put some time in on each other is marked. Great for Ruben and Castrojevo though.

Strong team with strong but equal favorites and nothing happens untnil the final km

Shame we lost Vlasov and Lopez. That Astana train would have been very strong if they had them riding for Fuglsang. ATM, Trek or Jumbo are probably the strongest and they're both very weak

 

[TomLPC]

Sepp Kuss has just turned off the stage, disgusted.

Although the question "What would happen if Froome got injured and all those strong looking skybots rode for themselves" seems to be getting answered this giro.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Ruthless

 

[Pantani_lives]

Il Giro di Portugal.

 

[Hayabusa]

Classic wheelsuck up the mountain and sprint for the win. Sensible tactics.

 

[klintE]

Guereiro wins in Aru style

 

[TourOfSardinia]

My money's on Castroviejo.

Yet...

 

[Carols]

YES Guerreiro and EF!!!! Chapeau!

 

[TomLPC]

Look at Kelderman smashing everyone!!!
