Stages 6-10 of Giro are now posted. From stage 9 videos no longer are lagging, still as mentioned, editing issues so raw version occures. |

Some decent stage results, narrowly missing a stage win even with Bananito. Right now the GC looks good and Top 5 would be a massive success in this top field however the TT will surely ruin the prospect for Betancur.. thanks for the coverage and rapid results. Will also post some results later on.

Talansky epic ride through the top10 at Giro nailed in stage 9, probably a crash?

Wellens is doing better, even wasting some energy in mass sprints. Let's see if we can get that top 10.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Really impressive to see Kittel winning every single sprint in the Giro - at least as an MG manager far more used to PCM18+, where such domination doesn't really happen anymore.
Great battle on top of the GC so far as well, with that gap the lead could really change in every single stage 
Thanks for the videos, dominox; starting from stage 9 it's really fun to watch them, and I'm looking forward to the Vuelta where I'll hopefully see some of my guys in GT action as well

Howard had a real chance to win stage 6 but started his own sprint way too late. And stage 10 was just sad.
Tao not in top form on stages 8 and 9, I hope he can do better. Though on stage 9 the problem may have been that Howard was at the front with a team mate hoping to claim the stage (which was highly unrealistic) and because of that Tao was too far back to react to the important attack.
Great fight for the maglia rosa.

The top 3 are drawing clear, great fun to see Aru and Bardet swapping pink by out sprinting each other Just got to remember which jersey to look out for in the videos.
Kittel looking dominant, hope one of the GC guys don't steal the points jersey.
Thanks again dominox, great coverage to watch.

More consistent riding from Contador and he's up to 8th. Hopefully he can make his way back up the field some more.

We're a little too anonymous for my likings...but we're dominating u25-classification which is nice

Great fight between Aru and Bardet, indeed Maybe someone else enters the game with an amazing performance?
No clue why the sprinter teams stopped working for a moment on S13; given that Kittel almost caught Dennis on the line, I guess that was pretty decisive ^^

Yes, frustrating, should have been stage win #5. Maybe a sign the team is weakening that we ran out of chasers. And I guess the other sprinters don't want to help at this point.
And on multiple hill days we have almost held it together for a sprint only to have the GC riders decide to blow it up on the last hill. Hopefully they will actually let the break have a few of the remaining MT stages or the points jersey will slip away.

6th place on a Grand Tour ITT is a great performance by Bardet considering a couple of seasons ago he would have been looking at a 2+ minute loss. Good to see he has team mates late into the stage.
15 seconds to make up on Aru. Still all to play for.

Contador up to 5th in the GC and us being 4th in the Teams is quite good at the moment. The gap to Barguil is 4th is quite big, so it looks like it's going to be a battle to retain Alberto's Top 5 placing in the final week. Hopefully he can hold on. Also nice to see Meyer always in and around the Top 10 already in sprints. Looks promising for the future.
Thanks for the reports dominox.

Thanks for the coverage and the results, dominox! Brutal time loss for Bananito in the time trial, 9th in GC is too far down to have the AI be in our favor any longer - hopefully he manages to climb back up the rankings soon. Aru vs Bardet in an incredible battle interlocked, this time seems to be more equal tbh - also impressive how good Quintana is still riding one year after his major decline. |

For Team BP these stages were mediocre. Only positive surprise is Gao Lei's 3rd place in the U25 ranking, but at the same time Tao lost two more GC positions. Here's hoping for better performances in the final week.

Honestly what An exciting battle in this Giro. So far both Bardet and Aru are super strong.
Finally they managed to put the Guy in Third more Then a minuten away.
2 stage wins so far is also super Nice. Also the Blue Jersey is ours. Hope we can keep them all.
More exciting stages to follow i hope the battle continues

Stages 15-17 are now in as battle for GC continues. "Temperature" of Maglia Rosa clearly is now lower. |

Ouch, horrible breakdown by Aru there  A shame for the local hero to lose everything on one day - but at least he still is on a provisional podium spot.
Let's see if someone can bring back some tension, but by the looks of it Bardet should have that one in the bag easily. But who knows with two MTFs left...
Thanks for the videos, really amazing coverage
