Quintana should be in pink by the end of today, but not by much. Not nearly enough to defend it in Milan. He should be able to take another 30 secs on that last climb.

I think you're right, or he'll just take back 25 seconds.

Big credit to teammate Michael Woods who was integral to shutting down any attacks in the last hour

Perfect support for the Frenchie

Actually now that I look at the profile, Dumoulin might be at ease today or surprise us.

According to all the hype, yep, that "should" happen.

 

But watch, Dumoulin is going to put time into the little Yoda, not much, but enough to make a point. However Dumoulin might lose some time to some of the other GC contenders...

I have the same feeling as you. Especially if NQ is going to wait for the last 5km of the last climb.

 

Does anybody have the climbing times of the last mountain climb two days ago? I think TD might've had the same time or few seconds off, but he was mostly on his own.

[Cav']

We're in for a cracker of a stage today, that's for sure.

I think Tommy was 40 secs slower than NQ over that climb. He lost about 90 secs with his poop.

Found the times:

 

#Giro100, Stage 16. Umbrailpass (last 12.59 km, 8.62 %, 1085 m)

 

Quintana, Nibali ↔ Dumoulin

 

km to go | time gap

 

12.59 km | +1:24

11.70 km | +1:18

10.79 km | +1:22

9.85 km | +1:17

9.12 km | +1:15

8.58 km | +1:09

6.91 km | +1:19

5.46 km | +1:17

4.97 km | +1:17

3.57 km | +1:29

3.10 km | +1:44

2.01 km | +1:40

0.57 km | +2:06

SUMMIT | +2:11

 

So TD was actually closing until VN's attack.

Yeah I agree, I like woods. (also I guy who deserves a win soon)

['Dale]

Yeah I agree, I like woods. (also I guy who deserves a win soon)

Definitely

I'm hoping team and individual belief will rise now

They're a relatively young team age-wise

NQ cant attack until the last climb as he's descent skills is up to S#*%

Good to see a smile again on the podium. poop day podium was not a pleasant site, understandably so.
