    Derek Gee sounds so, so disappointed.

    I am surprised that Jumbo have allowed Ineos to ditch the jersey.

    He made that massive effort to reduce the gap to break at 25k to go

    Well if Jumbo wanted to play silly beggars and Ineos were determined to lose the jersey maybe G would a have just held back off the group for a few seconds at the finish and forced Roglic to take it. Now that would have been amusing.

    Dangerous game letting jerseys go in this Giro. Who knows what the actual parcours will be

    Anyone else getting the feeling maybe neither ineos or jumbo are going to win this

    What happened to Dunbar today? He lost 3 minutes and dropped out of the top-10

    It’s an argument for smaller teams as presumably they’ve let it go because they have fairly limited resources.

    The notion that the GC riders haven't been attacking because the race has been so tough seems slightly contradicted by the fact that the same riders seems to be managing to ride in the break every stage.

    Strikes me that both Ineos and Jumbo are saving it all for the Queen stage and the hilly TT. Risky.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Maybe a bike change as he was given 80th place in the end coming in with the main group and retains his GC position

    The GC teams have held back ....the headwind to grand sasso seemed legit but Rohan blaming head wind on stage 13 was bs

    I find the idea that riders tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth during a race quite funny.

    Roglic said it was because he is stiff from his crashes

    Well, I fear it's a case of here we go again. Sure, this would have been raced in the past, but nowadays?
