Giro d'italia Stage 21: Torino – Milano 178 kms

[Carols]

To the very end this Giro didn't lay down.....Great Race!!! Chapeau to all the jersey winners and all the stage winners.

Tomorrow will come that sinking feeling that always happens after any GT ends. It is like a good friend that has been visiting for weeks has gone away.

Re:

Just another remarkable stat: 3 of the 4 jersey winners in this Giro did not win a stage.

It very well could have been 4 for 4. Aru's stage wins came at the expense of Landa's dominance in the climbs.

Well, sometimes you are glad too he leaves after several weeks

Anyone find a replay up yet? I thought König punctured outside final 3k which would have dropped him behind Kruijswijk on GC.

Re: Re:

Gotta Love Landa - when he was asked about Alberto Celebrating his Giro Tiltle - he replied: , yes -it is Nice for him - IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME INSTEAD

He said that, really?

he did- just watch the RAI replay - the bit happens when Contador steps off the podium with the trophy to get photographed by the press, while RAI got Landa interviewed. He just did not hold back

But then Landa would have won a jersey

He should have shown that cojones on the road! Cunego could've teached him. Too bad for him.

I think he punctured a second time because i saw him come back in the bunch just before the 4 km mark.

Konig punctured twice, he said the last one happened with 3k to go so he is fine.

Re:

Such a shame we don't have an image of Alberto holding up three fingers at last year's Vuelta (at least I don't think we have one)

 

[Squirbos_19]

I think it's more to do with winning the Giro 3 times. There's a few pictures of him on the podium holding up. 3 fingers.

Re: Re:

It's just about his 3 Giro wins, nothing wrong with that.
Still a better way to celebrate than Tommy D going full Nixon in Utah

 

[Rollthedice]

If we talk about fingers it can't get better than this.
