Isn't that more the fault of the four jersey sponsors and the race organisers including that walk of shame in the sponsorship package?He has a habit of breaking away from showing the cycling to show women, one example showing four women in four different coloured t-shirts walking slowly across the finish line, with close ups on each one
Well I enjoyed that stage. Amazing scenery. Chavez and kruijswijk looked good. Nibali fought hard and is still in touch and Valv Piti had a bad day.
Poor Atapuma did a great ride.
I thought Chavez looked the strongest uphill, is he favourite for the TT? Nibali could well pay for the long solo effort tomorrow.

Poor me - I was watching on my phone and the battery died with 5km left. Nuts!
Not quite as unlucky as Atapuma

Are you joking? I was gutted!
Saw this on Cycling Weekly regarding Chaves' crash in 2013 -
In the Trofeo Laigueglia, he crashed in a corner and slid to a stop wrapped around a sign post. He had trauma to the head, blood in his lungs, a fractured jaw, broken ribs, collarbone, inner ear… but the worst was that his axillary nerve ripped apart completely and the suprascapular nerve partially.
Chapeau to him for coming back so strongly from what sounded a horrific crash
