A final procession is not as usual at the Giro as the other grand tours!

Well, their 2 shouldn't have let Hindley take the bonus sprint, should they?
The tactics for this stage were obvious though really. Go hard from the second climb or don’t feckin bother. Ineos rarely get tactics wrong, but they sometimes use the wrong strategy. Also they are always aggressive if they need to be. If JV used Skyneos tactics then Roglic would have burned Kuss out and then launched a massive attack from 2-3kms out on the stage after the crosswinds, blowing everyone else away and stopping Pogacar from attacking. Of course that only works if you actually are the strongest guy in the race.
Go TGH!!

Except Dennis was the hidden gem in this Giro.I was asking.in week 1 or 2 maybe that we've not heard much of him.Then bang ! I thought he was something else on the Stelvio but today...feck when he kept coming back.Class stage and whoever wins tommorow it's been another great race.Boring TT again anyone ?
Dennis could easy ride for GC in a TT heavy parcours a la 2012
One thing Skyneos do very well is use their domestiques in a disciplined way. Mountain guys don’t work on the flat, some guys take stages off to stay fresh, and what they like most of all is monster super Dom’s like Kwiatkowski, Rogers, Thomas, Froome and now Dennis who can do every job if needed.
Inspired!

You just can't cope with a Ineos rider actually not being level first, but second by TT results, can you?

You posted they are level on time. They are not: they're split by the fractions from the TTs so far but you seem unable to cope with TGH peeing seconds away on things like victory salutes having left him in second. Not level. Behind.
It might even be that fractions decide this race which would set a record even less likely to be broken than the Le Mond-Fignon margin.

Im fine with fractions of seconds 😁I'm also fine with whoever wins,either are worthy winners.Do I want Tao to win ? Fecking right I do,he deserves it.That Ineos team who you like to try and trash their tactics seem to have done a ok job don't you think ? Would you care to admit your WRONG sometimes ? Happens to the best of us 😁
