Do you think any of the riders eyeing the GC will try something in that cheeky little "salita" near the "traguardo"?
>>67672493
Yes! Someone like Valverde could do it, he's is not slow in the finish.
Dumoulin has abandoned!
>>67672561
Not surprised, he hasn't been on top form. Also, he didn't go to altitude before the race, so he on a peak as a result.
Also, Zakarin will win this race.

Giant claims it's buttpain

>Saddle sores
Saddle sores are only part of the problem. He had a bad start to the season and hasn't enough racing kms. The Olympics are his goal. He'll go to the tour next and try and build up a base.
So lads, after how many kms is this going to be worth watching? 35 to go ish?
>>67673084
Yeah, that's when the climb starts and the action will start.
If it was last year's giro we'd have action now. ;~; I miss Bertie.

RIP Dumoulin
He's not doing TdF either, right?
Doesn't really matter to me because I was already a #MorenoMissile
>>67673138
>He's not doing TdF either, right?
I thought he would because of abandoning the Giro.
But I just read that he's doing Tour of Poland in preparation for the Olympics. Bad move.
>>67673215
Poland? Why have they bothered to clean the roads this year so that the riders can get up to top speed this year?
>>67673335
It's a good tour desu. It starts in Maastricht if my memory serves me well. I visited the race last year, roads were great-better than UK or Ireland.

Kruijswijk is a baller.
Based Jungels
>>67673722
Here's to hoping Jungels and Dumoulin focus on GCs in years to come.
Much more interesting with those guys around rather than just having only climbers.

Fuck
Yes!
>>67673878
Thanks.
>>67673896
nah, last giro was breakswinlol due to lack of sprinters teams
>>67673896
Some teams are devastated because loss of your capitains and/or suffer with poor strategies.
>tfw fantasy team is fubar
Can't believe how good Amador is doing
>>67674000
a fkin leaf
>>67674002
he has been riding well in the Giro since he won that big mountain stage a couple of years ago.
How is the interest for cycling in Costa Rica? You have a pretty crazy MTB race across the country, right?
>>67674022
yeah, maybe I based my plan too much on last year's results
shoulda gone with birdsong instead
>>67674043
The crash today was not good for him though. He will not try for the GC now.
>>67674000
kek
what terrible luck
GC after today's stage
>>67674036
>How is the interest for cycling in Costa Rica?
It's catching up now with what Amador is doing. Althought soccer remains as the center of attention regarding sports. Most people arent interested in cycling given how tought is to ride a bike in the urban areas but in rural areas if the geography allows it then you tend to see a lot of people of bikes, but still then remains mostly disregarded as a sport option.
>You have a pretty crazy MTB race across the country, right?
Yup, "La Vuelta a Costa Rica"
