Dombro has amazed me the last 3 days after the massive hype for years |

It appears there's a trail of syringes leading to the finish line after that new best time. huh.
And yes, i know he's only 24, but come on. Did you just see what I saw? Have you seen that guy do anything else?
He finished 12th to Cividale del Friuli in this race plus he has finished 4th in Tour de l'Avenir behind Lopez and some other good results in the under 23 racea, so if you are going to say there is a trail of syringes leading to the finish line after his time then you could basically make the same claim about 90% of the riders who cross the line today
He just made 1.30 up on the whole field tho, so the comments aren't that surprising
I haven't really heard of him, but I guess he is young huh. Impressive performance.
Hey I doubt most riders performances

Ah ok, I thought you wasn't sceptic, because when a Russian continental team places 2 man in top 2 after being anonymous the whole race, you probably know whats up. Even the Danish commentators were sceptic |

Wouldn't surprise me if Zakarin makes it a 1-2-3 for Russia.

Hope Pozzo can put in a good performance, seems to have been a bit unlucky so far this Giro and this climb should suit him.

It's way too early to focus on this.

I was just pointing out that the guys performance didn't exactly come out of nowhere as he has had some good performances that's all. Yeah the second I spotted Rusvelo got a wildcard to the Giro I thought the "program" would certainly have been upped as they have been a dodgy squad for a while, I have been surprised that they haven't bagged a stage win yet

The thing is, they have been nowhere up until now really. Weird stage to, lets say target, since they don't win today anyways.... |
