Easy for Kittel, he was yards ahead of the rest. Easily the top sprinter just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Bad day at the office for Dumoulin, shipped over a minute to the other GC contenders on the last climb, over strade bianche, & couldn't limit his losses on the downhill into the finish. Dropped riight out of the top 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printer Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Pissed it down for the second half of the ITT today. Zakahrin hit the deck twice. Dumoulin not fully recovered from his bad day yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Dumoulin got himself back in the top 10. Considering his bonk, he's only a matter of seconds away from the other GC guys. Just balanced his first week gains & back at square one. He's not out of it yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Nomad Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Been away on holiday so not seen any of the Giro, but some tremendous attacking today. Chaves and Amador been left behind by the other favourites. Edited May 24, 2016 by Desert Nomad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printer Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Been away on holiday so not seen any of the Giro, but some tremendous attacking today. Chaves and Amador been left behind by the other favourites. Cracking stage, full gas the whole way. Kruijswijk looking the strongest, but Astana and Movistar will test him when it goes back into the mountains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Think Nibbles boat has sailed, his form over the past few days has been heading South. Think it's down to Kruijswijk, Valverde & Chavez. The last couple of days in the mountains, will test his ability to the max. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Nomad Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) Kruijswijk goes head over handlebars into the snow on the descent of the Agnello. Zakarin crashes by a river further down, suspected broken collarbone. Edited May 27, 2016 by Desert Nomad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Nomad Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) Chaves riding into pink, Nibali attacking for stage win. Brilliant stage of racing. Edited May 27, 2016 by Desert Nomad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkable return to form today for Nibali, reminiscent of Armstrong on Mont Ventoux in 2009.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Nomad Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Remarkable return to form today for Nibali, reminiscent of Armstrong on Mont Ventoux in 2009....Yeah of course the spike in Nibali's form has to be questioned. Chaves was struggling towards the end, Nibali could well take it tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the feck did he get that sort of form from. Because, he sure a hell wasn't showing it over the previous three weeks.

Exactly, he looked gubbed in all the previous mountain stages so to say that today's performance was a shock is an understatement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Exactly, he looked gubbed in all the previous mountain stages so to say that today's performance was a shock is an understatement.On multiple stages, he's attacked & been unable to sustain it. Usually culminating in being dropped. Yet, with two MT finishes to go, he suddenly rediscovers form of a year or two ago? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) Gutted for Kruijswijk. Like Quintana in the 14 Vuelta, it shows the fine lines between success & failure, when the pressure's on. That he limited his losses to only sit 1min behind, is testament to his resolve. Hope Zakarin's ok, looked in a dreadful state, from the aerial shot.

peasy23 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Zakarin seems to have got away with a broken collarbone, bad enough but could have been a lot worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
