lechatnoir Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 reckon the the sky-remainders will tap off a bit, then give it all the horns tomorrow again... stage #20 looks hairy again... *IF* TD's on the limit today, tomorrow will be suffering for all again
nickgreyling Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 The gap keeps going out, it's up to 1'44 as Reichenbach leads the chase in the next group. Pozzovivo is another minute down. This is what the GC looked like this morning. 1 Simon Yates (GBr) Mitchelton-Scott 75:06:24 2 Tom Dumoulin (Ned) Team Sunweb 0:00:28 3 Domenico Pozzovivo (Ita) Bahrain-Merida 0:02:43 4 Chris Froome (GBr) Team Sky 0:03:22 5 Thibaut Pinot (Fra) Groupama-FDJ 0:04:24 6 Miguel Angel Lopez (Col) Astana Pro Team 0:04:54 7 Rohan Dennis (Aus) BMC Racing Team 0:05:09 8 Pello Bilbao (Spa) Astana Pro Team 0:05:54 9 Richard Carapaz (Ecu) Movistar Team 0:05:59 10 Patrick Konrad (Aut) Bora-Hansgrohe 0:07:05
lechatnoir Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 O'Connor could DD's new number 1....what a giro he is having.... so much promise there... Hope DD is around next year
lechatnoir Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 ah! there's my bonus seconds... 3sec for the intermediate sprint.. 1:44" lead now 57.5 to go TD gets 2 bonus sec, so +1 for Froome
nickgreyling Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Yates has just crested the top of the Finestre, some 16'46 down on Froome. The Team Sky rider now has 1'50 on Dumoulin and Pinot.
Eldron Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 O'Connor could DD's new number 1....what a giro he is having.... He is doing a ton of work - that worries me! He is kinda forced into doing it but still....
nickgreyling Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Dumoulin is forced to take a turn because Froome is close to taking the virtual race lead. These are truly incredible scenes at the 2018 Giro d'Italia.
nickgreyling Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Dumoulin then contests the intermediate sprint but he's up against it at the moment as Froome finds a few more seconds. He almost has two minutes
nickgreyling Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 We're almost on the Sestriere climb, where we'll see if Froome has attacked from too far out or timed this ride perfectly. Contador tried moves like this but never on his own. This is something else.
Cheese Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 O'Connor could DD's new number 1....what a giro he is having....Well hes been getting No 1 results the whole year.Hopefully they sign him quickly.But I guess the question mark about the WT status might be a stumbling block.If he gets a top 10 finish it might help as long as Zikarin do not get a Top finish in Tour de France for Katusha, as it seems they are fighting for the wooden spoon.
nickgreyling Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 And we're starting the climb with 53km to go and the gap is holding at 1'52.
Opc_danny Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 The stinger And we're starting the climb with 53km to go and the gap is holding at 1'52.
Cheese Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 He is doing a ton of work - that worries me! He is kinda forced into doing it but still....Agree , they are almost all in the same position in that group now.
lechatnoir Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 if Froome pulls this off and takes pink, it'll be one for the ages...
nickgreyling Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Froome is less than a minute off the maglia rosa as he continues to climb. The gap is holding at 1'57 and the Team Sky leader still looks relatively fresh as he spins that small gear. The lead is now 2'02. Dumoulin can't panic but this is a very dangerous moment for the defending champion.
