Re:

Nibali will try something on this next descent.

Hopefully. With Contador gone there will be no one left to animate GTs.

Don't think it's safe.

Just getting a good position for the descent.

Really slick roads. Will the Shark of Messina swim?

I was so hyped

I'm scared the way they're going that fast down that slick mountain

Not now. Next descent.

Contador is probably just waiting for Angliru. Staging win main priority. If he gets podium or more that's a nice extra, but it's clear now..

Now I just hope we don't see nasty falls in the descent.

86 kmh!

Chances for the overall victory have decreased.
Chances for a spot on the podium in Madrid have increased.

Don Vincenzo still I think.

Bardet?

Huh? Sagan, kwia are way better

Re: Re:

of the favorites maybe. Of the whole peloton hell no. There are probably at least 20 sprinters who can descend faster

Re: Re:

Among the GC guys? Or overall?
Cause Sagan and Kwiat would like to have a word.

 

[Red Rick]

TBM has a gap?

Probably one of the guys in the grupetto. Among the contenders Nibali is by far the best.

How would you know? They're hardly ever descending the same roads together with the same objectives.

One way of realising DT's hope, I suppose.

Re:

Across all riders in the pro peloton, clearly Sagan in my opinion.

Of the GC riders probably Nibali or Bardet.

 

[Ataraxus]

Re:

Tiny, but they're not getting anywhere. The bunch had them within sight.
