That was heartbreaking. And probably no chance for redemption tomorrow with Astana and Movistar having strong teams

There are riders for whom this Giro can be considered heartbreaking

But Pozzovivo is not one of them.

I think it's great that he lost any chance of a podium today. Hopefully he'll remember this next year and actually attack at some point in the race when he has the form to do so.

He's getting old. This may have been his last, best chance.

I'm pretty sure it's Pozzovivo's curse that he's so not explosive that any attack will always look half arsed.

He does try but he's really not explosive at all. He's such a nice and cute person too, this was sort if his last chance and it's really sad for him not to get it.

As expected he was dropped just as the sterrato began, you can't go out of the saddle like him, expecially if muddy. Then he was also unlucky that he was in a group full of team mates of the riders in front and riders that didn't have any reason to cooperate in the chase so he sinked and probably also give up after the Sestriere (everytime was on the camera he was the last of the group).

Heartbreaking for me.

As much as cheering for a rider is.
You tell me :( .

I hope that Pozzo has a couple of years left in him and gets that podium he wants. Great rider.

Except for one day he reslly didnt do anything wrong. But it was the wrong day to be on a lesser day

I was pretty certain that he will pay the price for having a weak team. And it really happened in the worst possible way... Still believe that Domenico did pretty well. Let's hope he will be able to help Vincenzo in July.

Was he seriously the only GC rider who could be bothered to stay with the peloton during the stage today? Respect for that.

I swear he has the worst luck for the Vuelta: hit by a car in a small village in Calabria and he's broken his arm and leg. Pretty serious injury at his age and naturally skips the Vuelta

Remember 2014 when Pozzo would've been fresh as daisy and thus could've been up there with Contador & Froome?

I read he had also broken 6 ribs, besides the arm and leg. At 37 I sure hope this isn't the end of his career!

Yikes...wish him a good recovery in the off-season, get back strong, but as years go by it sure is more difficult to get back 100%, and even harder to improve, get better than ever after such injuries. Fingers crossed...
