Giro d'Italia 2016 ***spoilers***

[Dayvo]

Zakarin conscious but broken collarbone

His bike was a good 20 yards away from him. Must have been a terrible fall. He was lucky he didn't land in the stream.

 

[Crackle]

It's all coming back though

 

[HF2300]

Now showing Montfort leading, Scarponi etc. group 45" back, Nibali and Chaves about 2'30" behind them, Valverde catching, maglia rosa just over a minute behind Chaves, so either the timings are off or he's going faster than it looked.

 

[HF2300]

Kruijswijk's going to owe Jungels et al, they've brought another 15 seconds back.

Correction - that might just be screwy timings.

 

[Crackle]

yep timings all back out now.

This where Kruisjwijck really misses a strong team. There's no one near to help him out and he's doing a lot now.

 

[HF2300]

Yes, absolutely.

 

[HF2300]

Kruijswijk's doing too much work on that chase group, as well. He'll be wiped out for tomorrow and I don't see him having the backing then either.

He's cracking now. panicked too much earlier.

 

[SWSteve]

I picked the wrong rider from SKY in the punditry

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Nieve, Chaves, Nibali - who's going to get it?

I'd say Nieve, then Chaves to drop Nibali on the last steepest section... but let's see.

edit: but now Ulissi is back with them too...

 

[Crackle]

Nibali goes and holds the gap. What a stage this is.

 

[SWSteve]

How in 1km has Nibali attacked, and put 1'15" into Valverde

How in 1km has Nibali attacked, and put 1'15" into Valverde

He hasn't. Valverde was already in a chasing group behind.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Nibali has attacked before the steepest section... let's see what Chaves does on that bit.

 

[Crackle]

He's put 40secs in
