Really like Nieve, thought he left sky to ride GC tho. Think I’m massively misremembering :slight_smile:

Looks iffy, but it’s just between him and TD. If Lopez goes, Froome won’t care, and that plays into his hands. No other GC rivals

Don’t see Dumoulin finding 40 seconds in 6 minutes

Congrats to Froome, first Brit to win the giro blah blah. The fact that the rules allow him to start (not his fault, but his case should have been wrapped up long before the start) has soured this for me, and it was really nice to see him, and Sky being a non event in a GT until yesterday. Yesterday’s performance is absolutely unbelievable, regardless of circumstances of the race. 80km attacks across multiple mountain passes are bullshit.

That Giro will stick in my mind for dodgy performances across the board, up there with Nibali’s 2016 Giro, Horner’s 2013 Vuelta, Cobo’s 2011 Vuelta and back into the bad old days. Yates dodgy, Froome always dodgy. And like @powerfulmellow posted up there, I would not be surprised if we are sitting here in 10yrs time saying that was obvious.

I’m not taking away from any fans of his, enjoy his victory, these are all my opinions of having watched cycling for the best part of 15yrs.

Sorry for the rant. Let’s hope he Quintana’s the Tour

and my fantasy team was shite

And imagine on RCS had scheduled a 40km ITT for the final stage like they have previously. That’d been brilliant

Pretty disappointed they didn’t go the whole hog with Froome’s last day bike.
