If Vinnie isn't in pink this evening, I'll eat my casco da bici...
... it doesn't sound quite so crude in Italian

I don't think he even needs to worry about winning today's stage. He's such a strong team he could just sit on and generally be near his other GC contenders, unlikely though !

Yeah why would he do anything other than follow then counter over the top to steal a bit of a extra margin .

Or other school.of thought . He attacks earlish for the big time gaps and puts this giro to bed .

Sub par Jonas would choose the former imo

I've read some stuff about Jonas being ill. I presume it's either over and that's why they're talking about it or they're getting their excuses in early.

There's a fairly in depth savaging of the TNT 'developments' in cycling coverage by Cosmo here.

It feels really cheap tbh. I'm watching at the moment, and it's just chatter. Nothing of any actual value. They talk about the route being brutal, but none of the climbs are that well known. They could have looked at the route. Maybe have one of these talking heads actually ride the bloody things. I'd rather see a Col Collective style video than them talking about nothing for 30 minutes.

Now they're doing a "mock DS team talk". fark me. Cringeworthy. They might as well be talking about a Zwift race or something. How can you talk about a mountain stage and not show a single mountain?

They got an ex pro riding the final Kms and important climbs?
