Giro 2020 SPOILERS !!

Looking like a Demare v Gaviria day tommorow.

Gaviria is a real flat track bully and tomorrow's a real flat track. But I think Demare wins

Agree its hard to see past Demare in a sprint but Gaviria has beat him this year.Just to be awkward I'll go with Sagan again Hopefully some crosswinds tommorow to throw a spanner in the works.
Matthews was good today,I'm not sure his team are working for him as much ? Maybe because he's leaving...certainly not like the team they were in the Tour.

Sagan screwed it up yesterday, bad positioning. Maijk must be a bit miffed to be high in the GC and spending lots of energy leading out Sagan in a failed enterprise. I'm not sure why Bora burn all their domestiques to get rid of Gaviria and Pete gets beat by 7 others.
Demare looks the strongest for today and FDJ are all in for him.

Sagan... win or lose he's still more valuable at the moment to the team/sponsor.

Yup - and to prove it, he's wearing a funny-coloured jersey ; it's very unlikely BOH can win the GC.

But Maijka must still be selfless or pissed off.
This field is so thin this year that even Nibali has a chance @nickyboy

This is the choice all pro cyclists except the small handful of superstars have to make. Assist a superstar and put your own ambitions to one side, or be a big fish in a smaller team, get paid less and still not realise your ambitions because you are less well supported. It's only when the superstar stops being super this setup starts looking less ... super.

Yes, but on a personal level I feel for Maijka though I appreciate that Sagan brings more publicity coming 8th in a stage than Rafa does in coming 8th in the GC.
Blimey I even checked on the price of an over-priced fume extractor and nearly choked on my beer!

It's splitting up in the flatlands - great stuff to enliven the strage

 

[rich p]

Fuglsang, Yates and Maijka missed the cut for the mo

 

[rich p]

Nibali too possibly - Kruijswijk is one of the only to make it but 125 to go

 

[rich p]

Nibali is at the front

 

[rich p]

Deceunik split it with the whole 8 in the break. Fab riding

I've had a wisdom tooth op yesterday so I'm legitimately allowed to rest up on the sofa, watching the Giro, eating soup, with a face like elephant man

 

[rich p]

Fuglsang, Maijka, Yates, Vanhouke and Pozzovivo all missed out.
Yates has even missed the second bus FFS

Yates made it into the second group and then got caught again Ffs...
I’ve never seen Nibali ever get caught out like that. Also I’m surprised Ineos didn’t make the front!
