Of course it should. What is all these comments....

Oh it will be finished but it could also end as the biggest joke in Grand Tour history but that of course will worry no one in a few years. But yeah if it's what im expecting 6-7 dropouts/DNFs/OTLs per day on average - I would be ok with saying ok let's go home and try next year. For me the fun is out of it.

Next one is someone named COV.

Covili will win the Giro

Tao in ambulance car abandoning, Rodríguez hitting the wall ...

 

[Filippo_3467]

Good point. In fact, UCI should make it a rule that when Evenepoel does not finish a race, that the race gets cancelled.
PS: Or win. If Evenepoel does not finish or win a race, the race gets cancelled or annulled.

Don't know what Evenepoel has to do with it, but you do you.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Just a whole load of misfortune and bad weather, the race goes on, it's been worse than this, however much of a sickener this may be.

That Rodriguez crash looked really bad too, high speed into a road sign

That's not happening...

I actually had picked Tao to get another Savoldelli style Giro win.

Rog has reached his average of two crashes per grand tour ... but it's still just the second week.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Perplexing that Roglic and Thomas, the bambi on ice brothers have thus far managed to evade injury in all of this.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Don't know what Evenepoel has to do with it, but you do you.

Thanks. The race still has Thomas, Roglic, Caruso, Almeida...

They should play the lottery ffs. Now it's the time.

 

[Mayomaniac]

At this rate it's gonna be Caruso vs Kämna in the 3rd week...

 

[glassmoon]

Next one is someone named COV.

Best I can do is Cav

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Rodriguez obvious DNF.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Better with veal or chicken?

Asking for a friend!

I like both, but overall chicken + pineapple is probably a better combination.

 

[Ricco']

It's getting harder and harder for Kämna to keep his streak of top-11 to top-25 stage placings.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ineos might use the 3 lower down riders in tactical moves now, with Tao and Thomas they would've been more likely to fold into domestique roles.

Sad as the circumstances might be, some of those riders a bit back, Caruso, Kamna, Carthy have to be looking a the shrinking list of contenders and the busy terrain ahead and be thinking hold on I really fancy my chances here.

Bahrain have 3 riders in the top 20 too, all can climb really well when their form is good.

 

[theyoungest]

Geoghegan Hart looked like maybe the strongest rider in the race, even with Evenepoel still there. Really unfortunate. Never seen him this good, even in the Giro he won.

Thomas had a relatively soft landing. he fell right onto Covi.

 

[skippo12]

Not only running out of GC leaders. Also running out of guys that are supposed to control breakaways.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Groves back in the peloton according to PCS.

 

[Gigs_98]

Kinda funny how often the role of the favorite has shifted since the start of the Giro when the first true mountain test comes in two days.

Terribly sad for Tao though. The guy hasn't been able to live up to the status of a Giro winner ever since he won it in 2020 and now that it seemed like he could do just that, this happens.

 

[Ricco']

So, Sivakov the next to go?

 

[titan31]

ES just said that Sivakov is miles back. Could be another out

 

[Jagartrott]

What a sh*tshow this Giro has been so far. Hardly any exciting racing, 11 stages in, and GC contenders (and others) taken out left, right and center by covid and crashes. With the weather likely continuing to be wet, this destruction derby is not set to stop any time soon.
