"As well as Richie Porte and Simon Clarke, Fabio Aru is the latest to say he didn’t know about the rule that bans help from another team." From the latest article on The Inner Ring.

Well I think after this they all know about the rule

I'm wondering who'll make up the podium.

Currently Astana is locking up 2,3 and 4 on GC

Yeah but that is also a debate for maybe when the blood results are known.. a little too good no?[emoji13]

No buddy.  Not #fairplay at all, blatant cheating.  Apparently.  According to Hub experts who "know".  The depths of Sky's depravity = boundless.

Don't like Sky at all. Quite a few people don't but I I don't see any post where they were described as depraved. Seems a bit over the top. Just a bunch of people enjoying the race and supporting different characters for various reasons is all we have here.

 

I really admire Porte actually. I'm a bit of a Froome fan and in his book he raves about Porte as a rider and a person. Good enough for me. Still don't like the team.

 

And I still think it would be useful if your life were was totally dedicated to a particular sport to perhaps download a copy of the rules of that sport. I know it might provide just a marginal gain but I heard somewhere that could be useful

Todays stage is interesting

Apparently it is expected to rain again and the descents are really sketchy so possible the break can stay away once again... some gradients kick up over 12% and the finish is tough...

 

The last 750 meter have an average gradient of over 7 % with parts of 11 % on the final straight-out stretch towards the finishing line on Viale 10 Giugno.

 

Have no idea who to pick anymore... bunch sprint then Matthews, possible attacks from GC or breakway guys like yesterday to stay away again, I have no idea but it sure makes it exciting

Mmm.. Bert, Porte and Aru... my prediction..

 

I expect quite a major shuffle-up in the top 10 GC after the weekend's 60 km TT, Gen.

It's gonna be an intriguing day on the TT bike.

Indeed it is.. Joey (aka Porte) will make up a lot of time me thinks.

"Today’s stage was significant in multiple respects. It marked the halfway point of the Giro, and it took the lead in the ‘hardest stage’ rankings. And I really, really hope it stays there. It’s not hyperbole when I say that today was the most I have ever suffered to simply hang on to the bunch."

Won by Zakarin. A painfully skinny 25 year old Russian riding for Katusha. Rode away from the break to take it in a well time moved. No changes to GC or any of the other jerseys

 

 

classy kid, already bust for drugs at age 19.
