Giro 2022.....SPOILERS.

[Cathryn]

Yates just looks sad.

Edit = his interview was sad too. His disappointment is immense. 'I had five stages...now I have six.'

 

[Chislenko]

I spent most of the race looking for Wampy Lopez but couldn't find him.

 

[matticus]

Gutted that Bardet has had to leave the race due to illness! Had a good feeling for him.Still all to play for looking at the top ten...should be some fun in the final week.
Thinking about it can we not just stop the race until Romain feels better

You might this as moving as I did (note the re-tweeter):

CH4 last covered the Tour in 2001!

It's a channel with 4 in it. Isn't it? It was 10months ago, I've had a lot to remember since then ...

Agree, he looked like he was about to cry ... the lads done well since that stage 4 crash, good on him.

Chapeau Yatesy ! Although part of me would of liked Nibali to take the stage win...last season and home country 😁
Maglia Rosa for Carapaz Still all to play for by the look of the top 10

 

[Adam4868]

Yates and Carapaz down in a crash allready !
Both look to be up and ok

 

[roadrash]

Oi......., eurosport feck off with the tennis

 

[Adam4868]

Chapeau Cicco ! Class win....
No real GC action though 🙄

 

[Mike_P]

Nibali claims the tailwind meant an attack was pointless

Rest day!
Lazy buggers

Rest day!
Lazy buggers

I'm sure they're taking more rest days than they used to... Is their pay cut accordingly?

 

[cougie uk]

Didn't they introduce the weekly rest days to help prevent doping ? Giving riders a natural way to recover ?

 

[Grant Fondo]

Two mountain stages next up, brutal stuff. A mere 202km jaunt tomorrow peaking at over 6000ft .... good grief!

I thought it was in the hope that some riders mess up on the "rest" day and get sick, or take it too easy the day before a massive mountain stage and start it undercooked, all to make it more unpredictable and help their friends the bookmakers profit. Same reason they booby-trapped the fizzy pop to make the cyclamen jersey result harder to guess. 🤡
