So he could theoretically get to the tie at 7 if the cards fall his way.

What are Decathlon doing with VPP? Looked the second strongest climber in the race and have had him by O’Connor’s side ever since his stage win - seems strange. He can defo win another stage if he is allowed to go for it, and O’Connor is not looking great

in the pre-stage interview, APP just said that him and Baudin will try to join the breakaway today. VPP will stay around O'Connor.

 

[KZD]

One of the hardest stages of this year's race for sure. Should be very important for the podium fight.

I am almost sure that the breakaway will arrive as today its a very important day for the mountains jersey so riders like Geshcke and Scaroni should try to enter there. even though I think Pogačar will win it in the end.

I will go with Pozzovivo to win this from the breakaway, among the top5 riders, I expect Tiberi to suffer more here.

Funny how they always reveal their tactics before the stage, while all the other teams just talk vaguely in interviews.

 

[Netserk]

Bjerg has been ill.

 

[Tim Cahill]

'Was it your call to let Arensman go up the road Geraint?'

'No'

 

[Tim Cahill]

Caleb Ewan trying to 'mob the road' 300 metres into a mountain stage, must fancy his chances today

 

[Samamba]

Yeah Bjerg is gonna DNF

 

[Netserk]

The Italian wildcard teams have fully merited their presence this year.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Should try and OTL Milan and Merlier, the Matthews strategy, it's been a while since we've seen it

 

[Red Rick]

Apparently nobody has finished OTL at the Giri since the 2020 prologue

Time limits at the Giro are way too much of a joke

yeah, last rider to miss the time cut in a road stage was Mareczko five years ago.

Which, lest we forget, was on a stage with a single categorised climb.

 

[Brullnux]

Ineos really living up to their pre-Giro talk

 

[Tim Cahill]

#Pray4Jakub. Surely he was sick or something

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Stunning mountain cliffs and scenery

 

[Squire]

Considering his size, Conci has been monstrous on the climbs in this race.

 

[Tim Cahill]

UAE look like they're out of matches, hopefully a few dangerous moves go today

Pogacar might be able to keep it up but his team aren't him, this was going to happen eventually

 

[Netserk]

Pogi sitting very far up in the peloton, basically forcing everyone to keep the attackers' pace.

 

[perico]

Martinez doesn’t look great today.

 

[ppanther92]

No teammates? Just go with the break over the top.

- Pogi, probably

 

[Brullnux]

Boooooo quintana
