Giro Stage 11 ***Spoilers***

topper_harley

Movistar with numbers now in the Valverde group

ddraver

Jungels and Amador riding pretty hard, have 13secs

All others back in the bunch I think

10 to go

topper_harley

Jungels looking strong

ddraver

6 to go, flat run in now. Jungels close to riding Amador off his wheel.

Caleb Ewan back in the bunch, 9 secs

ddraver

Ullissi and Betacour try to bridge, gap at 7 secs

4 to go - sorry, still 1 climb left, which is too much for Ewan

Ullissi makes the bridge, Jungels still pulling

topper_harley

Betancur just got a whiff of the donut stall and has pulled out the race

ddraver

Those 3 ride into the finish, Jungels in pink pulling to take time, Ullissi takes the sprint

Moral victory to Jungels

Great last 20 kms of action packed viewing........................for those of us not lumbered with Eurosport.
Seriously, their current ad break policy is totally ruining the experience.
Sporza meanwhile, are playing the usual blinder.

Sporza doesn't have advertising whatsoever, I'm sure Eurosport would accept the extra money you'd pay them not to see Ads...

Some broadcasters front-load their ad breaks though so to get them out of the way when the action is likely to kick off. It's not always possible, but on a stage like today's it shouldn't have been too difficult.

You've got Amador and Piti mixed up on the GC.

Oh yes - listed wrong on CN ticker.
That makes me feel a bit better.

- but I wouldn't want valverde watching my back....

I thought Amador was strong but Jungels was almost dropping him whenever he hit the front.

rick_chasey

Jungels riding like riders should when in pink.

Anyone notice his casual bidon sip as he sat in the wheels while the trio of pink favourites were down the road trying to make hay?

Thanks to @UranRigoberto for grabbing me by the back of the jersey and saving me from going into the canal today!!

Been waiting for a decent shot of the Rusvelo-Gazprom bike/kit combo. Shame about the shoes...
