This is how fast those 2 came up - it’s hard to explain how quick this is with 2km to go on 9% compared to anyone else IMG_8362.mov

Same thing happened in 2012 Tour with thumb tacks on the road, except in 2012 it was in the Pyrenees and top of the climb.

We came around the corber on the descent just after it unfortunately happened. It was not good.

lo siento que?

No one ages in jhb when you see behind the scenes you would think they race a category lower each year in some cases. sure he has an incredible career, no one like him or dislike him can ever argue, but that was then, this is now.

In fairness he has as much chance of winning or placing in a race as they do winning Tour of Brakpan.

Coverage was really good on both IG accounts. Followed the whole race for mens and ladies with no issues. Dryland could learn a thing or 11 from their feeds

11th at the end. Incredible the amount of mechanicals yesterday due to the mud

Yes it's good to see him get this GT. He has had an incredible season so far this year to now with winning every stage race he has entered. Tirreno Catalunya Giro 2 of the highest level stage races until Giro to cap it off.

Ok. I would like to suggest getting your eyes tested again

Cause he does not climb the super steep gradients like Roglic does and is known for.

Kuss did 23m16 / 1875vam which is about 6.1wkg for the final climb. Roglic was 7s slower.

Gladwell was the 1st to identify it, then everyone else took note.

UAE and Bahrain will be exposed today if anyone is. ineos will be fine with Jumbo. It would come down to leader on leader

I can’t see him losing it at all today; he has been so good and showing incredible form. with De Plus, Arensman and Sivakov To control that is one hell of a power house. but this Giro has suprised me every day.

You not 1 of them

My none adding view: a bike is worth what a buyer is happy to pay for it. Sure there is a market value of sorts but this goes both sides depending on buyer and seller. I collect 80/90 era skateboard decks, my wife and some mates think I am on crack to spend 2000 euro on a deck and then sometimes I think the seller is on the same crack selling a deck for 350 Euro that I know I can flip and make 500e on. if you like the bike and the seller is willing to part for X or you happy paying X; do it.

It's definately still an issue, I got covid 4 days into a stage race last month. Followed all strict protocols. Many people are still contracting it, its that they don't really report it.

Uran is also out now with Covid.

“Unspoken Rules” regarding cross winds are: DS’s know or should know they are coming, especially with all the tech in the sport/car. If the leader crashes or flats, then it’s unforeseen circumstances. If they stop for a toilet break at an important part, it’s game on”

Shimano SA never have stock. Ever

Yes we do

It's a pleasure, but essentially its all Tristan so kudos to him. If you learnt 1 thing or simply enjoyed it then it was worth it.

None of those riders are there for GC in the top 10. GC battle starts from 11 - 27 sec back
