tombeej Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 The pace is really ramping up now. Dumoulin pops out the back immediately.
tombeej Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Brambilla has just popped out the back of a small select group that has the favourites. Bob Jungels is still in that group and not looking too bad at this stage.
tombeej Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Of the original group that was in the break, just 3 riders remain out front.... ... 2 Bardiani riders and Cunego. They're sprinting for the KOM points and Cunego takes the points. He'll be back in blue tonight.
tombeej Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 The small group of favourites are all over the top of the 2nd last climb and heading down to the valley. they are 2:30 behind the 3 leaders. Amador has now attacked the favourites group on the descent. Interesting tactics from Movistar. Young Jungels is having a stormer today - he's still in the mix.
tombeej Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 One of the Bardiani riders - the small 21 year old Giulio Ciccone - is away by himself as he flies down the mountain. He's about to reach the base of the final climb, 8 km to the finish line.
tombeej Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Well well, Brambilla rode out of his socks and managed to get back to the favourites again just as they're about to reach the bottom.
tombeej Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Amador is still hammering through the tight little streets in the village at the base of the final climb, trying to open as much time as possible. Not sure how much of a gap he's got to the favourites, but the gap between Ciccone and the big names is down to 2:00.
tombeej Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Well well, Brambilla rode out of his socks and managed to get back to the favourites again just as they're about to reach the bottom. Brambilla went straight to the front of the select group and is now setting the pace. He might be riding for Jungels right now.
'Dale Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Well well, Brambilla rode out of his socks and managed to get back to the favourites again just as they're about to reach the bottom.Just keep going Just keep goingJust keep going Brambilla fights
'Dale Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Brambilla went straight to the front of the select group and is now setting the pace. He might be riding for Jungels right now.Interesting hey
tombeej Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 There are still a few riders from the original group still scattered about between Ciccone and the favourites, but they'll be expected to be mopped up one by one as the big names come through.
'Dale Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Brambilla's big worry will be Amador who is using up every bit of road as he charges down the descent. We don't have a time gap but it looks like it should be at least 20 seconds.
tombeej Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 4 km to go for the lighty and the gap dops below 2:00 for the first time. He's not even bothering with a poker face anymore - the pain is etched all across his face.
