It doesn't matter what status he has, he's still close in GC, as is De Plus. And secondly, this would only improve Thomas' odds.Is Arensman still a co-leader? Would think they put everything on thomas now

The again, look at how they used those 2 on Crans-Montana...It doesn't matter what status he has, he's still close in GC, as is De Plus. And secondly, this would only improve Thomas' odds.
If they are, then it makes no sense to have both De Plus and Arensman stay that close in GC, as well as Sivakov before his crash. Then those guys could have taken turns staying with Thomas in the final while the other took a day off. They could both have saved a lot of energy with the third week in mind and been at 30 minutes in GC.The again, look at how they used those 2 on Crans-Montana...
By now Ineos are all in on the Thomas train.
Put a rain jacket on that.
And SD Worx are the most successful women's team. That doesn't mean they're tactical masterminds. Most of Ineos' success has been predicated on a simple bludgeoning tactic built out of having the strongest rider and strongest support squad in the race and just riding on the front until everybody drops, and when they've had to think outside of the box they've been found wanting on a number of occasions. There are occasional exceptions, but by and large that has been the tactic that has underpinned their decade of dominance, and it hardly takes a tactical wizard to come up with that.
Scenes when he just waits amd waits and goes down 20s on the flat split before dropping 7W/ kg Monte Lussari and doesnt celebrate because the mailman doesnt celebrate when he delivers the mailThe stomp has to happen at some point. This better be it.
Never say never but the weather forecast looks good for tomorrow.any chance they shorten the stage? dont feel like waking up at 6am to watch these losers tomorrow. just start at the bottom of the bondone so nobody gets wet, cold, tired or angry.
maybe if it is too hot there might be some petition in peloton...any chance they shorten the stage? dont feel like waking up at 6am to watch these losers tomorrow. just start at the bottom of the bondone so nobody gets wet, cold, tired or angry.

Vine and McNulty?Fortunato from the breakaway, I expect Eolo to try to get him + another guy for the flat in the breakaway/a teammate helping him to make the breakaway on the flat start. Him an Cepeda are probably the only guys who have the climbing legs to make it from the breakaway on such a hard climb, assuming that anyone within 10min won't be allowed in the breakaway.
Surely you mean PPDBFTSD.
At this point someone who is still willing to watch whole stages is probably more of a hardman that 90% of the Giro peloton...

Unless Thomas has a bad day, which means they probably want him surrounded by riders that can get him over the finish line as fast as possible, which won't be possible if Arensman attacks.It doesn't matter what status he has, he's still close in GC, as is De Plus.

Thanks pal, truly appreciate that!At this point someone who is still willing to watch whole stages is probably more of a hardman that 90% of the Giro peloton...
Getting up at 6am 6 days per week? That reminds me a lot of highschool...yeah and here in the US you have to get up before 6am to see the whole stage. way more of a hardman than geraint thomas for sure.
We have NBA and other games at 3:30 am, so 6 am isn't smth terrible))yeah and here in the US you have to get up before 6am to see the whole stage. way more of a hardman than geraint thomas for sure.
