Giro 2018 "contains spoilers"

It ain't over until the tall skinny Froomedog stops pedalling...
Expected attacks but that was something else....

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Froome should be in pink by 29 seconds?

Apparently 40 seconds

Apparently 40 seconds

Looks like the time gap on the official site doesn't include the time bonuses, even though it shows them before the time gap!

Froome got 13 seconds and Dumoulin 2 secs - I presume they both picked up some sprint bonuses?

One of the most remarkable day's racing I've seen. To go solo for 80k. Will he pay for it tomorrow?

My goodness, that has to be one of the all-time great rides in a GT. Where has he been hiding that form? Poor old Simon Yates, still out on the course somewhere.

 

[Jimidh]

That’s was an amazing stage - very little work done this afternoon..

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Aru and Kiryienka listed as DNF

 

[smutchin]

This is the big question...

Pinot could still nick it!

 

[Shadow]

Aru and Kiryienka listed as DNF

They abandoned at 41k and 42k respectively.
According to rubbish Giro website.

They did say a few days ago he came into the giro a bit under trained with the hope he would ride into it , then he fell off before the prologue getting a good dose of road rash , lost his nerve in the wet and looks like he came good.
TBH not a big froomy fan , dunno why TUE aside as i go by the " there all pushing the rules as much as they can " but i do not deny his ability and admire him for it .
Yates ? maybe he burned to many matches early on or hasn't got it in the legs to contest a GT yet ?

Jeezuz that must be hard for Yates. he's still not crossed the line and Froome has done the jersey presentation.

In his interview with Eurosport he suggested he held a bit back for tomorrow!

Nowhere near the top ten on GC.
Gutted, but hopefully he can learn something from this.

And Pozzovivo tumbles to 6th, 8 minutes down on the Dawg.
