Must have missed it. Funny how without ACF there's so much less negativity about Evans...

This. a lot of the evans negativity, is created by the evans fans themselves, as they get defensive over nothing.

I think the general thoughts in the forum is that Evans has done a fine job at the giro, and has succeeded in animating this race for us.

Come on Gibo!!

Seems this mountain stage was not needed. Nothing happens

Basso put everyone bar Arroyo out of reach on GC yesterday, and Arroyo is clearly not strong enough to attack Basso.

I still do not understand why the F did he kept riding that bike.
@arroyo: drop it, you lost the maglia rosa, now you just look silly.

He has been riding pretty good with the bike, maybe it is a superstitious thing?
ANyway I don't see the big deal, he is doing no harm to anyone.

Well, I'd hardly call this stage animated.
65kms of climbing, but other than the first climb, under a 6% average.
Diesel attrition.
Maybe something will happen in the last 7kms........

Why didn't Vino, Karpets and Righi form a train and drag Simoni back up to Tcshopp and let him win the stage?

Hang, draw and quarter the lot of them!

Do you think he'll have a dig on the final climb for ****s and giggles?
