Milan is almost unbeatable in a straight up sprint isn't he !
Merlier got relegated for blocking of Molano

He did block him. Milan looked unbeatable last year. Loves the Giro obviously

 

[T4tomo]

He did block him*. Milan looked unbeatable last year. Loves the Giro obviously

Unbeatable, yet got 1 win and 4 2nd places?

He was the most consistent sprinter but clearly not unbeatable 🤣

*definite block, did that dangerous peel all the way from centre line to barriers to stop anyone coming past him, which the "don't deviate" rules are there to prevent.

Today...a tough guy sprint? Or breakaway bingo at its best? Or even GC if UAE and others want to work?
Today I do wish I had access to a tv to watch the entire stage.

 

[Dogtrousers]

It's got a big lump 10k from the end. Alaphilippe to put in a trademark attack, escape from the group descend like a demon and stay clear to win.

Well, I suppose he might get as far as attacking on the climb ...

 

[T4tomo]

Probably a breakaway, but if not made for Groves as he's the best of the fast men at getting over the climbs.

 

[Adam4868]

Narvaez favourite for the stage with Pog in second place obviously !
I'm going to go with Ganna 😁
I don't think it's a sprinters stage, especially after yesterday's stage.Average speed of 47kmh for a stage of over 200k 😲

 

[Adam4868]

Fabio Jakobsen out ☹️
'Skin abrasions and cuts but no fractures, however discomfort from the impact of such a crash has worsened overnight making it too difficult to continue.'

 

[roadrash]

thats another of my team out

 

[T4tomo]

thats another of my team out

although he hadn't troubled the scorers had he? He hadn't contested a sprint, he primarily rolled in at the back securing the lantern rouge....

 

[Shadow]

Pedant Alert

the lantern rouge....

the lanterne rouge is only in Le Tour....the Giro has the Maglia Nera.
