The break takes it !
Pelayo Sanchez takes the stage for Movistar, Allaphilippe comes in second and Plapp in third.

What about "always back the break"?!

I told you the break was on today!

40k ITT tomorrow. Kinda flat then not flat at the end.

Ganna shirley?

36k flat with a little bump at the end,as in the last 6 uphill 😁
Bookies have it between Pippa and Pog,did they both save themselves a little for this yesterday ? I'm backing the break and going with Sheffield,don't let me down Magnus.
Looks like they go off every minute until they get to Zana 😁

Interesting one with the "bump" at the end, which might only be 6.6km out of 40.6, but is 25% of the riding time, and whilst that section averages only 4.5% ish, there is a km or so at 12% ave and 16% max.

Does one bike swap for only a km or so of proper steep or save the time and power up on the TT bike?

Its an easy one to get wrong, i.e burn too much on the flat section and lose time on the climb.

No 😁

This could define the whole race from here. Go G!

what mean when he and most others lose time to Pog?

I'm rooting for G, but not hopeful, we'll see.

Ganna shirley?

talking of ganna i was watching when he tried to escape stage 5 and i thought he looked a little elbow out like he could do with slightly wider bars ? of course who am I to know

I've just wasted quite a while searching the utterly useless giroditalia.it site for a list of withdrawals. There isn't one.

Even if you scroll down to the bottom of the stage results - a task that involves clicking "load more" 35 times because it will only show you 5 riders at a time (WTF???) it still doesn't show you DNFs and DNSs

Yes I know you can get this stuff from procyclingstats but it would be really nice if the race website wasn't utterly pants. ASO have a great site for the Tour. It's really easy to find stuff like a full GC, who withdrew when, and to scan back to see the full GC on previous days (the giro site can do this but only 5 at a time, and reverts to Italian for this).

And their live coverage page sucks compared to le Tour's

Rant over.

Maybe for some riders. Nice geeky article.

 

[Adam4868]

Come on G I've a good feeling about this TT....just stay on your bike ffs.😲

 

[T4tomo]

Hmm speculating Pog might be going for a bike change, despite no-one else doing it so far.

based on - the most accessible spare bike on teh team car is his road bike
