Agree. Although worried it’ll all get too Alan Shearer esque pundit heavy in years to come.

Mollema to pull back 4mins

roglic not looking amazing here

landa might have enough for 3rd

#340

Landa has shipped 20s to Roglic as he passed through the checkpoint

Finished in 22:33

#341

landa 25s down on roglic with 1km to go

was 23s ahead in gc

#342

Roglic takes 3rd by 8secs

#343

think nibali finished faster than roglic there?

not that it makes any difference

#344

that’s that then. not the best giro ever, was it? 6/10.

well done ricky carpz.

Whoever bet on Carapaz would be in some money there. Amazing how much more balanced Movistar seem without Quintana/Valverde in the team.

Agree with this tbh. Could’ve been an intriguing route, but ultimately wasn’t for many factors

first week was boring as fuck tbf

“what if landa had ridden for himself” not sure he can use that excuse any more. he was free to do as he liked right up until the last few days by the looks of things. if he had been the best in the race, he would have won

My mate has. Not massive money, but good odds

Wouldn’t his diet be strictly controlled by the team in the training period for as well as in the actual race? Unless he was snaffling extra bags of haribo.
So either the dieticians got something wrong or you know he just got a bit ill. Can’t see how he can be blamed personally either way.

Could be all sorts of reasons. They’ve spent a lot of time riding in rain, so there could be stuff spraying off the road, gets on the top of bottles, riders spitting and spraying snot everywhere. Plus the immune system degrades in GT riders over the course of the race, so not something that could be blamed on diet specifically.

Can’t wait to see Valverde mess up Movistar’s chances in the Tour. Amazing how he just doesn’t give a shit about the team at all year after year. What a hero.
