The Caruso crash didn't help the peloton's case either.

yeah, almost took out Albanese, who was probably the favourite. But Fiorelli was ahead of it, attacked right after, and didn't really come close to Suter. So I think he'd still have won.
Suter should not hang on with a 10 second lead with 1km at 6.3% - The peleton finessed the first 400 metres of the final K and it was too late.

Both Fiorelli and Albanese had a couple of teammates in the group finishing at 4" so it's a bit strange none of them went to the front in the final km.

It's not like Bardiani is known for their tactical brilliance. But if Fiorelli had started his sprint earlier and hadn't given up in the final meters, because he was behind in GC, he possibly could have come quite close to the victory.

today's queen stage started early. 80k into the race, Guerin, Fetter, Marcellusi, Zoccarato, Lemmen, Abreha and Wirtgen have a 4 minute gap over the peloton.
Guerin is one of the best 10 climbers in the race, I'd say, so could have a shot at the victory, if they keep this gap onto the Etna.

Sicily quietly having a better Etna stage than the Giro

How on earth is Bahrain the team playing the numbers game with this lineup?

lol, yeah, I was about to say the same. Great move to send Kepplinger up the road.

And now they've started attacking each other in the peloton. These are some, er, interesting tactics, plenty of teams with numbers...
GPS is claiming the gap has fallen by half a minute anyway, surely that can't be right?

This is UAE, undoubtedly we have team Fisher-Black, team Ulissi, team Majka and team Bennett all going for their own chances.
They're missing this counter move now as well...

It's also fine tactically if they want to attack, but then they should actually do so. These half-assed pulls only to let some attack from the group and then start chasing again is just such a waste.

Rather impressive for the front group to squander a lead of over a minute (if it ever was that much) to a peloton that isn't chasing, in the span of 15 minutes no less.

Three UAE guys following Reichenbach down a descent, no wonder there are like 10 riders ahead of them at this point.
