Movistar fucked up big time What a ride from Tom And landa… oh landa… Good to see BMC get something
++Dumoulin ++Van Garderen winning a stage
–Quintana not at 100% –Landa’s sprinting
Thoroughly enjoyed the cat and mouse at the end. Quintana just raises my heckles. Fuck him.
Loved Tom’s post stage interview ‘I hope nibali and Quintana get knocked off the podium’. (Paraphrasing)
Dan Lloyd quoted TD in a tweet (the part about hoping they lose their podiums) but bit didn’t look like a quote and he started getting ball sorts of grief. Lovely.
Welcome to Ambush Country, Tom.
Looks like FDJ, Movistar and B-R are riding angry.
Both part of a group a minute up the road on TD. Intriguing
attacked when TD was having a piss apparently… oooh
Where have a gotten that from?
Speculation at the moment but commentators saying the Nibali / Quintana group attached Dumoulin when he taking a piss.
Which, given Nibali and Dumoulin made up this morning, is Godfather-levels of revenge. A Fredo kiss.
Now Brian Smith has been on the phone to a DS mate in the convoy and they’re saying no natural break, just Sunweb too far back on a descent and there was a split.
Was gonna say, all I’ve seen is speculation. GPS is all over the place though, seen 2mins, seen 20secs reported as the gap.
B-M, Movistar and FdJ Vs Sunweb, LottoNL and Private. It’s on
I like how there is still a sport where stuff can happen and commentators / viewers / participants don’t actually know what’s going on
They need to get to the foot of the climb before Dumoulin can rejoin. That’ll make a big difference.
this is brilliant (hope Tom stays within TT touching distance)
Such a dramatic race. Wonder if their ambush would take it out of them later
And breathe
come on tim!
*tom
Fascinating giro this. 1:30 separating the top 6 with 2 stages to go. Still Tom’s to lose, but if he has another bad day tomorrow…
Indie favourite Steven Kruijswijk has abandoned with stomach problems. Goodnight sweet broad shouldered prince
