You are supporting what I said, so I don't get what you mean. |

Looking at tomorrow stage I think it suits Dumoulin especially as the finish is downhill, though I not sure how dead he is at this point |

Lol guys, there are no tactical games, they can't ride any faster than they do right now. They went to the absolute max when Dumo was behind. Quintana and Nibali are very weak, but Dumo even weaker today. This is such a super weird Giro right now, aint nobody have the legs to do anything - pure survival.
Reminds me of the Giro 2012 that freaking Ryder Hesjedal pulled off, everyone was done.
So true. Everybody thinks Tom is strong, but it's that all others seems weak, imo. |

Dumoulin really had a weak day today, but you can't deny that he was pretty strong in the first and 2nd week.

Quintana still needs more time on Dumoulin, but if Zakarin has a good day tomorrow, I'll make him the favourite.
The Nibali hype train has well and truely derailed, unless he goes full gas on the Monte Grappa

So Dumoulin confirms it was his own fault as well, Nibali and Quintana aren't so bad after all huh? Altho it really wouldn't have surprised me if they did after yesterday....
Anyways, the stage tomorrow shapes up to be an insane stage with so many different outcomes. Its incredible so even the riders are this Giro, for better and for worse. At this point I wouldn't even be surprised if Zaka-Zaka pulled it off! |

I hope Pinot actually wins this now. To teach Quintana and Nibali a lesson for not wanting to work "for" Dumoulin. Yesterday, you were supposed to work for yourselves not for Dumoulin.

How about if Pinot wins in front of Dumoulin then? That would be interesting. Regardless, Pinot winning would be kinda awkward for all 3 parties, not just Quintana/Nibali. |

Very likely to be the case again, Sky has seriously done brilliantly in this third week. Kiri, Henao, Rosa, Deignan have all done their part. Chapeau! |

Wow...what an amazing borefest!
Quintana took the pink jersey by doing nothing.
Dumoulin lost it but Quintana didn't win it.
Last year's edition was more fun to watch.
I gotta admit that I fell for it when everyone claimed Quintana to be the best climber in the world. Jack he is. Hope that Movistar will fully support Valverde at the Tour.
He can at least race properly.
My personal hightlights today are Reichenbach and Konrad.
And Jungels finishing with the main GC-bores.
Hope he takes the white jersey in the final TT.
Zakarin is by far the worst, he accelerates, opens a gap and immediatly stops riding again. Guess that master bikehandler gets scarred shitless when it becomes to fast. |

who has attacked most at this tour? Quintana, at the moment he is out of legs repeat those..meaning that part is useless.
Quintana still is one the best climbers in the world..that part useless.
How many crashes for Zakarin this year? ..zero..another useless point. |

So in the end it was not Nibali, not Quintana, but his own team that pushed the pace while Tom was at the back. This story gets better and better, lmao |
