Dumoulin looked like the strongest, but Landa really played into Thomas' hands - the leadout, and seeing Dumoulin slip to the back of the group. Then G aced the final turn while Dumoulin had bodies in the way.
Nice to have a duel between riders up a big climb. My preferred result too, if not many others  Glad that Dumoulin did at least gain on Froome though as well. Want to see a 'Thomas' of some description winning this.
Curious to see what exactly happened with Nibali, Roglic. Definitely too many motorbikes in one place after Froome attacked. Caused by a third party of some kind surely.
Looked like Roglic was dropping beforehand iirc and Nibali picked him up on the way back. Nibali definitely got taken out by a spectator, looking at the mayhem. I'll guess we'll know by tonight.
Nibali told it was a motorbike, not a spectator
In this case we'd have a precedent
"He made a bigger comeback than Easter Sunday."

All those crazy fans manage to avoid the riders and the sodding motorbike takes him down? FFS |

Not sure that rule applies at all on mountain stages - certainly not from that far out.

Btw Tom D may have actually chance. Before Giro he had only 12 racing days in legs while Froome 16. Maybe he also planned double but secretly :P

Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

It was indirectly caused by idiots with flares though. They made so much smoke no one could see a thing. |

Is it not the same situation like 2016 with Porte, Froome and Mollema? Froome even started running and still got the same time.

I think that one had more of an impact on the race with a group of riders going down instead of only one rider. I know it's not fair, but I don't think it was fair what they did back then either.

Kruijswijk hero of the day..
And Dumoulin way stronger than I thought.
Thomas is looking good to win the TDF though...Who would've thought. That Barloworld team in 2008 wasn't so bad |

Will Geraint Thomas be pulling a Yates, though? We all thought Yates had it in the bag during the Giro... |

Nibali is suspected of having a vertebral fracture.

Thomas is the same bland character as Froome.

All in for Landani!
Can't believe the bad luck for Nibbles though. Apparently a vertebra fracture.
