Really like Nieve, thought he left sky to ride GC tho. Think I’m massively misremembering
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
Giro over
And pop goes Tommy d
Fair play, but he’s cooked
Ooof still not over
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
Pinot loses 45mins. Probably what a clean rider looks like
or a sick one
I’d err more on knackered
As long as you enjoyed it all eh?!
Took my mind off of things today at least
Let’s hope this isn’t too serious
George Bennett interview earlier was funny
Cba alwaysthe pits
Podium! Not sure how. Impressive late charge by aggpass.
