Giro 2018 "contains spoilers"

[roadrash]

On the slow-mo replay it looks like Viviani’s back wheel was losing traction in the sprint and bouncing around all over the place. Wonder if that has any bearing on the outcome? Couldn’t see if Bennett’s wheel was doing the same.

It was a horrible surface for a sprint

That's how it looked to me

They’ve just shown the head-on shot of Viviani’s sprint. It looked like his bike was fish-tailing!

I'm not sure whether he'd lost traction or whether it was just that his riding was incredibly ragged. By the time Bennett equalled him for speed he was already spent and he sat up for the last few metres. Pleased for Bennett.

He was ragging it ,rear was snaking like a moto gp bike!!
But as you say great for Bennett

I’m just watching the slightly weird presentation ceremony. It crossed my mind that Lappartient should come out followed by a WADA test team. It’d be like when Joe Pesci is about to get ‘made’ in Goodfellas.

Huh?!

[QUOTE 5258529, member: 43827"]Do we know. Until the investigation, to which Froome and his team are answerable, is completed all that is conjecture. Which is what much of this thread is.[/QUOTE]
Oh Queasy, if you're tired of argumentative speculation, you're tired of CC. I look forward to seeing you anonimised in the near future!

Wow.

Just watched stage 19 and 20 highlights - now I want stage 19 in full!

Well done Froome & Team Sky!

A week?
You do that all the time...

The test was failed; Froome seems to be taking quite a while to provide anything of a defence.

It takes time to train a Dawg to chew his homework.
