If the three work well together Yates has a massive problem

 

[Red Rick]

MS would be happy to let those 3 take the bonis

 

[Rollthedice]

With El Tibo de Covadonga there they can get a decent gap.

 

[Velolover2]

Nairo only taking micro-pulls.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Adam Yates following Valverde's wheel

 

[Valv.Piti]

El Tipo de Covadonga, nice one.

What on earth did nairo expect? That MS would just let him go?

That would defeat Movistar's tactics. They want MS to chase, as they're doing.

But then why didn't he want to take pulls? He was the one to attack

 

[Flamin]

Wtf counterattack from Yates

 

[Red Rick]

Quintana should not work in that group lol

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Lolz

I'm guessing he's waiting for Valverde to bridge up. In any case, as long as there's a gap he's fine

Yates - doing it on his own. Fantastic

Re:

Nairo literally can't win with people. Go at 12k out and people complain that not only are you going too early but also that when 2 riders from one team jump on your immediately that you aren't the one towing them lol. All despite clearly riding for Valverde (barring accidentally being let go for a couple of mins)

No one said Quintana is going too early. And No one expected Quintana to pull with Bennett on the front. It is totally fair to expect him to take his turn when it was just him and Kruiswijk.

 

[glassmoon]

lol Simon. bravo, burry those blue clowns already.

 

[DNP-Old]

Thank you Bora.

 

[Sestriere]

Yates with extended middle finger.

 

[wirral]

Oh Lord, it's the Giro again.

 

[Velolover2]

Insane move by Yates.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I like Simon Yates.

 

[Rollthedice]

Yates.

 

[fuiers]

Yates is so cool!

 

[infeXio]

Hahahah

I really think this is massively stupid from yates

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Valverde now relying on Astana to ride for him whilst Adam Yates parks on his wheel
