Cav' Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 Dennis: “To get the Maglia Rosa in Israel was one thing. To keep it after the first Italian stage is special. It’s great for BMC. Crowds were huge today, especially at the start and finish. I didn’t appreciate the amazing atmosphere of Caltagirone fully because I was in so much pain but it’s great to race here. Hopefully I’ll retain the Maglia Rosa for a couple more days. Tomorrow, it can be a similar stage but Etna will be my big test against the GC riders to see where I’m at as a Grand Tour contender.”

Cav' Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 Tim WELLENS (BEL/LOTTO FIX ALL) post-race: “We knew the roads were twisty here in Sicily and there was a little bit of panic in the bunch until the first intermediate sprint. Our plan today was that everyone would ride for me. We saw many comments on the internet saying that I was the favourite. The outcome couldn’t be better. Everyone in the team was helping me. The last pull by Adam Hansen was very strong. Tosh Van der Sande put me in a perfect position 500 metres before the end. I passed Enrico Battaglin with 200 metres to go but only after the line did I know I had won the stage. Two years ago, I rode away from the breakaway to enjoy my first Giro d’Italia victory. Today’s win gives me more emotions. It feels better to beat the whole peloton. I'm more relaxed now after this success, which makes things easier for the rest of the Giro, but my team-mates are also capable of winning stages. By now, I know that I’m a rider for Walloon classics and Il Lombardia, one-week stage races and stages in Grand Tours, but GC in Grand Tours isn’t for me.”

Cav' Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 SHUT UP ! Scenic and action Giro pics will always trump Lady Pro's/ Car Porn/ Divorce advice/ and threads about how crap RSA is IMO. But hey that's just me. (On this here Cycling Forum)
kosmonooit Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 That was seriously sick! mad dice through sketchy narrow roads then that big pull up hill! Victory for Woods will come soon.
Gen Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 I Ok Froomdawg got caught up in the 7km crash...Nope.. he wasn't held up in the crash he was poorly positioned towards the end and was boxed in. "It was a tough day, the guys did a good job just keeping me at the front and unfortunately just before the final I got caught in a bit of a hold up against the barriers in the last kilometre," Froome told Cyclingnews after his post-stage warm down in a carpark on the outskirts of Caltagirone."I lost position at quite a critical moment so I wasn't very well placed coming into that final kick."

Cav' Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 Mount Etna is going to be insane. To quote the P&P show: the Giro won't be won on Etna but it can certainly be lost.
