Forza Pozzo!

I'm exhausted watching that! Close one.

That was brutal

At least no one was outside the time limit and Cav beat Ewan (44.58 behind v 45.44), Cav in a group with Demare an Nizzolo.

With it being the eve of the Giro and Ive been out for a drink....just had a mad thought could Landa actually win the Giro 🙄

Landa 😍

 

[Adam4868]

Got to be the end of Yates GC hopes....over 11 mins down.Either stage wins or more likely pull out of the race.

 

[Adam4868]

Thought Bardet was unlucky to not take the win today...picked the wrong wheel and I'm guessing he never expected the chasers to be back ! Think he could of won against Carapaz and Landa.
I'm just bitter as had a little bet on him at 16/1 ☹️

I feel your pain

Nice bit of silliness in the early ride today with Lopez and Dumoulin both larking about at the back of the bunch, with Dumoulin threatening to throw a bottle at Lopez to get revenge for Oomen on Sunday.

More powerful than usual three man break over 6 minutes up the road: De Marchi, Lawrence Naesen and Drone-hopper's Mattia Bais. The hilly second half means it's not going to reach the finish like that IMO and probably not at all unless one of them is on a very good day and the peloton decides they fancy another day "off".

I'm so glad that bottle throwing incident, whatever it was, has petered out into a bit of silliness and not in the hands of the komisars.

Yes. Hopefully a sign of sanity in all 3 Grand Tours this year? 🤞

(probably still #NotOk to get off your bike and punch a spectator ... 🤷‍♂️ )

According to Lopez's post-stage interviews, it was something like Oomen tried to push him to right the wrong done by whoever forced him to stop and jump off the bike, but Lopez beat him off and threw a bottle to dissuade further pushes, possibly fearing a time penalty for illegal assistance and overreacting because of the adrenaline rush from the unplanned dismount. https://www.eurosport.co.uk/cycling...-rival-at-giro-ditalia_sto8926222/story.shtml
