Cav' Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 After setting the fastest time at the opening check, Bob Jungels doesn't have quite enough to beat Geraint Thomas on the finish line. The Quick-Step rider goes second fastest, 7 seconds down on the Sky rider. A good effort none-the-less.
Cav' Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Provisional stage leader Geraint Thomas spoke after the stage. The Welshman said he had to fight through the pain today. "It’s one of those where you have to grit your teeth and go, and just hope the pain in the legs is more then in the arm. It was pretty much even," he told Italian television. "I threw my bottle away with about 8km to go and did it with this arm. I shouldn’t have done that because I could really feel it. "I tried to give everything today and will take it day by day now. Hopefully I can recover in the next three days. Tomorrow is super hard but then we have two flat days, so hopefully I can recover. We’ll see how it goes. It’s the hell of a task now but we’ll see."

Cav' Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Vincenzo Nibali now goes through the second check at 1:02 down on Thomas. That's about on par with the time loss of Ilnur Zakarin in that second section.

Cav' Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 And here we have it. Thibaut Pinot is 1:42 down on Tom Dumoulin. That is huge for the Frenchman and he will be very disappointed with this.
