Well, if they are scared of the rain, there's a good excuse for me!

Amazing stage. Proper stunning to look at too. All 3 main contenders gave it everything they could, all picked the best tactic available, and some random equipment* issue to add some spice.
Very pleased for young Mr Hart :P

Loved their expressions crossing the finish line. The Brit looked proper pissed off at losing the stage, even though he knows he's had the best day of bike racing in how whole life :biggrin:
And the non-Brit threw his arms in the air, but you could see in his eyes he knew he'd been gifted the win!
That's sport ^_^:smile:


(*rain jackets - wotever next??!)

The Sestriere climb is pretty steady and not too steep, the sort Rohan Dennis could smash up:smile:

Is it long enough that Brian Smith can decide whether his name is "Ron" or "Rohan "?? /CommentaryWhinge

Go on then I'll ask...should he have waited for Kelderman,or gone for the stage win ?
Ron Dennis was the ride of the Giro so far 😁

Part of the fun of yesterday was guessing whether he'd wait for Wilcoman; whether the team were asking him to; and if he had waited, would Wilcoman remain being f**ked and cost them both 3 minutes, as Young Mr Hart stormed up the last climb to victory.
There's no clear answer, that was the joy. But IMO he did exactly the right thing; he banked a stage win and a Top3 place on GC for the team.

*luckily* the team leader also hung on to grab the race lead.
They might have ended up with nothing.
Or the Skyneos riders might have faded on the last climb, putting Hindley in pink (and Wilco on the podium, who knows).

All sorts of things MIGHT have happened. But didn't :smile:
