Wonder how many matches Yates was burning today vs Tommy D. Looked like he was throwing the bike at times in that final Km.

Yates still leads by +/- 1:20

0:56

 

edit: tv screen is terrible - that, or my eyes need a test.

This last week will be VERY interesting...can not see anybody taking the Pink from Yates, but alas...stranger things have happened and still a long way to go.

GOOD luck to all and a safe last few days  :thumbup:  will be glued to the TV   :clap:

Why are the podium girls all covered up like at the Abu Dhabi Tour or Qaktar?

Their arms are showing, so it's not quite "covered up", but point taken.

I'm looking forward to stage 19... probably because I worked for the Italian company that is based across the road from the castle in Venaria Reale (Magneti Marelli) - where I guess they will be starting from. Brings back memories of me freezing my a** off in the middle of winter, as I went back to the hotel to put almost every item of clothing on - it was that cold (-7 degress C).

 

A few years back, they went through Alba (home of Ferrero) on the ITT, and in 2010 it was Amsterdam for the prologue (and I was there that week). Probably why I love the Giro more than the other two GTs. Seen it live, and seen some of the views.

The the Middle East is relaxed enough to show arms these days. I expected more from Europe

BMC needed a bit of time under podium lights as they continue to seek sponsorship for the future ????

Froome slowly edging his way up - going to be an epic week

At the rate that he is edging, it would need to be a 90 Stage Grand Tour for him to have chance.
