Another attack today by Bernal...he's smelt blood !

 

[rich p]

Moscon has been having a great race too in support of Bernal.
Rehabilitation?
There was definitely something going on yesterday with Deceuninck. Almeida clearly didn't want to drop back to pace Evenepoel.

soler doesnt look too good after that earlier crash, i think we may see an abandonment

soler now got ice pack for his back from the ambulance but hes a lo-o-o-ong way back

I did wonder if Yates saw Bernal going on the attack and thought "yeah, I tried winning a Giro like that. Just you wait!"

I did wonder that but in a slightly different way. Before the stage all the pundits were saying teams needed to stick together but the Ganna attack put paid to that. Would it have made more sense to stick as a team (I know the outcome but that wasn’t a given at the time!)?

DeMarchi down and stretchered away , no idea what happened though

IMHO the pundits were making a very big deal about the thousands of likely mechanicals, to generate some excitement.

So the tactic of *needing* a teammate with you turned out to be a lot less relevant in reality.

I'm no fan of Ineos but I have to admit I really like Ganna. Not for his TT but for the times he's put on the front, be that lower slopes or the sterrato, and he just shreds everyone
Assuming Bernal wins, he will owe a lot to Ganna

I'm sure Bernal appreciates him...even buys him flowers 🙄

Similar to Dennis last year at the Giro...Ineos do like to get the best out of their riders 😁
But barring his stupid crash today chasing Nibali Moscon has been on the best form we've seen in years aswell Saying that Bernal is something else...by far the best climber out there at the moment.Its not over yet though,as seen by the crashes today !
