Even more so for the amount of time he was isolated with his team....rode a great Giro for me.

I have still enjoyed this Giro but it hasn't gripped me the way that some 3-week races have.
I was so thrilled by Lemond's 8 second victory over Fignon in the 1989 TdF that I bought a bike and have been cycling for the 35 years since then.
I don't think that watching Pog win like this would have inspired quite the same interest.
Thomas's ride has probably convinced a lot of people in their 30s that they are not too old to ride though!
That's my earliest tdf memory as a 10yo!
Gripped me too!

Pozzovivo 20th. Not bad for a 41 year old. Would have been a fair few places higher but for one disastrous day.

I see Milan's miraculous chase back to contest the sprint was a bit too miracululous. Fined and docked points for drafting. https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/gi...-uci-points-for-slipstreaming-on-final-stage/

I always thought you could use the cars to gain an advantage. It would be almost impossible not to.
I presume there was some very blatant stuff going on, maybe even a bit of holding on?

no holding,
Its also unusual to get pinged when its not your own team car, but it must have been blatant. His problem was most of the cars were well gone when he got going again. Just surfing your way up the team car line wasnt an option.

I really hope it was actually G that posted this. And even if it wasn't, it's still funny:

Some funny videos in this thread. My favourite was Orla trying to train Nathan van Hooydonk not to swear on air.
