Excellent work by Verwilst again, but the others should really try to get that stage win. Unless they targetted a specific stage of course, then I won't complain if they win it.
Ah there we go, good to see Gaviria finally do what he’s here to do. Still not at all a dominant sprint, but hopefully this can be a turning point for him. Green jersey on his shoulders for a few days at least I hope, and now onto Stüssi to either lose boatloads of time and get lucky during the third week, or for him to hopefully follow the wheels of better climbers.
Congrats cio on the Madous masterclass, he’s having a great race. Thanks for the lovely reports also kb, much appreciated
MVD once again near the front of sprinty puncher stage. A podium is a great stage result for him. He would've been Top3/5 of the GC and holding the White jersey without the stupid time loss on Stage 6
A decent domestique team for Aular in theory, but they seem to have decided from the start of this Giro that Aular should prove he can handle hills by himself before actually helping him in the mountains?
Thanks for the nice report as usual, kandesbunzler26!
Nothing spectacular happening right now for my team. Sprint wise more like 3rd tier, consistent but without proper scoring.
GC wise the stages remain calm, the split here was not ideal, but luckily didn`t lead to time gaps in the end.
That said, Wellens slowly climbing up, now 8th in GC as always being up there. Vanhoucke and Teuns seem to be around him while Schelling is losing couple more for later attacks I hope.
Let`s see what the team can show in the mountains.
Thanks for the reports and congrats all winners on the last couple stages.
