"I was feeling very good. It was a hard stage, but thanks to my team I managed to get back into the maglia rosa.

 

"The advantage is a big complicated, but we’ll take it day by day. Tomorrow there will be another hard one, and then the time trial will be very important. There we will play for the win."

The beautiful Giro ????

 

Perfectly poised hey

 

Quintana, of course, has to worry about Nibali, who would surely put a decent chunk of time into him in a time trial. So even if they can put Dumoulin to the sword tomorrow, Quintana needs to find something special to put time into Nibali.

 

And then there's Pinot who is arguably the strongest time triallist in the top 10 apart from Dumoulin. He's only 10 seconds back on Nibali and 15 on Quintana. And he's looked strong the last two days.

 

This Giro, in other words, is wide open. ????????

Not just Nibali..

 

Pinot is also a better TT than Nairo. .there are more than just one or 2 to keep am eye on Movistar will have a challenging day tomorrow. .

That's exactly what dale said in his second paragraph. Tired 3rd week mind for us fans [emoji12]

A win is a win if Quinoa takes it. Personally I would like Nibs to take it. It all comes down to who takes the pink home on last day.

No way of knowing what's going on in each of their heads as they pin it up the climbs, just how bad they are hurting , or not, or whether the tactics commentators or armchairs like us are shouting at, are actually what's gong down . Get a bit of insight at interviews etc but I reckon less chess goes on than we think. Just boys out racing their bikes .

Above all else, yeah, another beautiful Giro.

Right to the final stage on Sunday.

Knife-edge stuff ????
