Eugene Oppelt Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Nibbles is about to hit the hardest part of the climb as he heads towards the stage win. Chaves accelerates and tries to respond but the gap continues to grown.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 The Astana leader takes on a bottle as Nieve comes back and catches Chaves. Chaves wants help and the Team Sky rider comes through and takes a turn. Further down the climb and Kruijswijk is at 3'37. He's around 1;40 down on Valverde but more dangerous are Nibali and Chaves, given the time gap and what we've seen today in terms of performance.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Just over 1K to go on the stage and Nibali continues to gain time on his rivals. It looks like Chaves will pull on pink so he just needs to limit his loses to Nibali and then continue to gain time on Kruijswijk, who is now nearly four minutes down.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Nibali comes to the line and takes the stage win. He may even move up to second overall. He wins stage 19 and he takes the 10 second bonus. The Shark is back.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Kruijswijk was like a fortress Wow what racing What drama The beautiful Giro ????
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Nieve has dropped Chaves and he'll take second. At the line Chaves is third at, 51 seconds.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Ulissi takes fourth on the stage as we look down the mountain at Valverde and Majka who have just looked to limit their loses. Kruijswijk is even further back as we see Nibali in tears at the line.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Nibali moves ahead of GC against Valverde, who comes over the line at 2'11.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Rider trickle over the line in ones and twos. Kruijswijk is coming to the line but he's going to lose over four minutes today. He could be fourth overall in fact.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Can't wait to get home to check out the tv ????
HappyMartin Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Chaves has his work cut out tomorrow. Nibs is going to be all over him
