That was a good stage. I tend to think Zoncolan doesn't really produce good racing but it can sometimes.
Yates looks good but does he have much left? TD seemed solid but doesn't seem convinced himself.
Froome's tail will be up now and if you look at the rest of the Giro it's more kind of his bag than the chaos of the first couple of weeks of the race.
I was hoping Bennett would hang on.
Tomorrow could be a corker.Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -

Bore off.
I doubt you even knew what a peloton was in the ‘90s when that kind of revalation was relevant.
Did you watch the commentary or did you just make your own up, you condescending knob?
4Km out and the commentator (Hatch?) said exactly what I said, that after the last two weeks, Froome's performance was "miraculous". Did you feel it necessary to take it up with him in any way? No, because you're just another keyboard warrior.

The vast majority of posters here are not interested in the doping innuendo. It’s not because they are Sky or Froome fans either. They can just see past it and enjoy the racing.
If that’s what gets you off you’ll get much more enjoyment out of Twitter or the clinic.0 -

I don't think any of us watched the commentary, unless we have some members with hearing problems (to which I apologise), but some of us often listen to the commentary in languages other than English, Rick being one of them.Correlation is not causation.0 -

I watched the RAI interviews with Froome (two of them, one before and one after the ceremonies) and he was very relaxed and upbeat in both, suggesting not just pleased with today, but also very optimistic about the coming days.
Also his Italian was surprisingly better than okay - never heard him speak Italian before.
He got asked about the royal wedding too! :roll:
Unlike the Froome interviews, the RAI interview with Yates had to be conducted in English, and it came over that he wasn't totally satisfied with the outcome. Maybe because he hoped to out-distance TD more, or maybe because he now feels he has two main opponents.
Froome lived in Italy when he was at Barloworld, somewhere just south of Brescia I believe, and learnt decent Italian by all accounts.
Froome isn't very charismatic, but he's definitely intelligent.0 -

By the look of him, I think it's fair to say that Pinot suffered more, sitting behind his wheel.

I'd have thought Yates would/should be disappointed he didn't take more time out of Dumoulin on that finish.
I thought Dumoulin put in a really good ride to limit his losses - if thatbwas harder than expected, fair enough.0 -
If you plan watching now. 12kms or so left on Eurosport.

Yates would have preferred more, Dumoulin would have preferred less and Froome is happy to be back in contention.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
