kiddy Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Despite the Gavia's removal, the Mortirolo certainly provided excitement & a GC shake up. Nibali & Carapaz take 1.20 out of Roglic. Cicconi takes the stage for Trek, from Astana's Hurt. Maglia Rosa group at 1.40. Carapaz still leads, Nibali at 1.47, Roglic at 2.09, Landa at 3.15 & Mollema at 5.00.Yates 8th at 6.46. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Both carapaz and nibali need more time on roglic, carapaz especially. Nibali can at least time trial fairly well. With the final time trial being relatively short I'd think nibali would be looking for a minute over roglic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 2 stages of the tour of Britain in Scotland this year, stage 1 goes from Glasgow to Kirkcudbright, and stage 2 is a 103 mile border stage starting and finishing in Kelso. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a good few known climbs (Crow/Tak etc) & it's right on the populations' doorstep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Talk of unrest in Movistar given short shrift in yesterday's stage. Rumours of Carapaz (moving) to Ineos next year, Landa/Bahrain & Quintana/UAE, appeared laughable. With their two main Giro riders tightening their grip on the race. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnash Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Fan-bloody-tastic finish to today's stage. Looked like the 3 man breakaway was going to stay clear - 17 seconds ahead with 1km to go. But they started mucking about ahead of the sprint the peleton closed them down. Two of the break were caught but Cima stayed clear of Ackerman by 1 bike length. 5m more on a 200km stage and he would have been caught! I was going mental like a last minute goal in the football.

Bishop Briggs Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Bora and Ackerman really screwed up the chase today. The breakaway should have been caught well before the finish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Race went through the Passo San Boldo today, Il Giro's equivalent of Le tours Lacets Du Mont Vernier. Stunning. Edited May 31, 2019 by kiddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 It also went through my neck of the woods. Not a bad day out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ark loyal Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 It's setup for a intriguing finish in the last couple of stages. You'd think Nibali needs to take a bit of time from Roglic to get a bit of a buffer for the final TT. Roglic looked to have a bit of form to have a bit of a go toward the end of today's stage, despite being exposed for large parts of the race. Carapaz is in the box seat but hasn't really been tested with his teammate Landa looking like he's the one one that still has the legs going into the last mountain stage. It could yet all be blown apart tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Miguel Angel Lopez thumps a spectator who brought him down! Richard Carapaz is very impressive so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Should be Carapaz victory now, and well deserved. Nobody talking about him beforehand and hasn't put a foot wrong. Expect him to lose time tomorrow to Nibali and Roglic with the latter pushing Landa off the podium 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) Lopez should get a medal. Not enough of that in the sport IMO. Going back for more after the first couple of slaps was the icing on the cake. ETA: Thumbs up from Wiggins, too.

Going back for more after the first couple of slaps was the icing on the cake. ETA: Thumbs up from Wiggins, too. I've got a feeling that Lopez will get at least big fine or even a suspension but it would be worth it. It's surprising that so few of the idiotic spectators have been punched by riders that they have impeded. The race cars and motorcycles can be even worse though. Remember Demoitie being killed by a motorbike at Gent Wevelgem? Or Johnny Hoogerland being thrown into a barbed wire fence by a media car at the 2011 Tour de France? A motorbike knocked another rider off his bike at the same event. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
