The 100th Giro d'Italia

Nairo is on a different level though and that's partly my issue. Cuddles got dropped easily. Nairo doesn't get dropped. He's free to race how he wants, I don't particularly have an issue with it other than the fact he's boring to watch. Just be a tad more aggressive, lad.

Aggression he has

In the high mountains only

He's a pure climber

 

It's like watching a classy Test batsman stay at the crease and manipulate the field

Without all the 85 meter sixes ????

Bob Jungels is paced back to the bunch after stopping for a comfort break. The Luxembourger is facing a big test today if he wants to hang onto the maglia rosa.

With 58 km still to go, the gap to the break is 2:49.

 

An unlikely win from the break today as the Blokhaus looms

As many as he needs to to show he is the strongest.

 

There is no way he can be classed a wheelsucker if you compare him to the absolute all time champion Cuddles.

What do you mean he can't be classed a wheel sucker?

 

Of the current GC contenders, he is the biggest wheel sucker.

lol. That's pretty much the definition of boring.

Wheelsucking - amateur field

Drafting - professional field

This may not be a real climb but the road at the moment is definitely not flat.

Nibali is trying something new today for this fearsome closing climb -- 38x30. He has used it in training but never before in a race.

Damn

Seemingly no advantage for Rolland up the final climb as the gap is dropping like a lead balloon ????

Guys need to get time on Quintana today and Tuesday...will help to make sure we have a massif 3rd week.Quintana will be strong and race sharp by the time we get there and if he is behind on time it will be good to watch.

Movistar setting a hot pace at the moment. Not wanting anyone to get away. Oh dam and a big crash. Sky badly caught by that.

Did they hit that parked bike?
