Well they'll do something. Something tells me it won't be effective though.

Aww shit. TOM GOT LEFT BEHIND! I REPEAT, TOM GOT LEFT BEHIND!

We're at around 30-40 seconds now. Bit better, but not completely safe yet.

Is it just because I'm Dutch or are Nibbles and Quintana two of the most unlikeable riders in competition?

Rolland and Costa are every single day in front
>>
>>76133153
I never disliked Can'tana, I just didn't particularly like him either. With Nibbles, I actually liked him but he can be quite a cunt as well.
>>
Hate to be that guy but does anyone have a decent stream?

Is it just because I'm Italian or is Dumoulin a sore winner who doesn't know when to shut up and how to respect his rivals?

Quintana is just a bit bland, innit.

>>76133153
Nibbles is a really exciting rider, but I've never warmed to him.
Quintana, I don't know, he's just very bland.

>>76133169
Both of them have won Giros by eagerly reacting after something happened to the top contender

>>76133202
They will get TD to just piss and shit himself and never stop if that is true
>>
>>76133185
No, I liked him but I thought his post-race behaviour yesterday was very poor. He's clearly in better form than Quintana and Nibali, who are both multiple GT winners, and then he taunts them afterwards? Nibali is a bit of a prick top, but I lost a lot of respect for TomD yesterday.

Also complaining that they didn't help chase /pinot/ as if Quintana and Nibali care about finishing second.

Maybe Dumoulin should just stick to time trials if he can't face the heat when you're a gc leader. Hopefully Quintana wins
>>
>Nibali talking about karma yesterday
>breaks away during toilet break

Right
>>
Today the French/Dutch mutt loses the lead and Quintana attacks after Based Landa wins the stage.
>>
If Movistar and Sunweb both burn up their domestiques in this chase before the final climb - advantage Big Tom.
>>
>>76133204
I have a home in Zurs and I had a full day in the mountains. Coming down at the end of the day and someone flew past at a hell of a rate, clipped a tree with his right ski and flipped all the way to the run off. He'd done about thirteen somersaults. I thought he was in a bad way, so I stopped to help.

This giant blonde head came out of the snow, sneered "I BEAT YOU" and wobbled off clutching his stomach.
>>
Dumoulin only 30 sec behind
>>
Nibali is double butthurt because Tom had a faster descent than him when he won the other day.

Gap is 45 seconds. I can confirm.

My thoughts exactly. Why the fuck would they ever help him?

He still deserves to win, he proved to be the best.
>>76133261
I feel like this might be true. Dumoulin was impressive, must have been frustrating for Nibali.


Rai says 1'35'' and 2'25''.

holy fukkkkkk


a stage where everyone is actually racing and not farting around in a peloton and then saving for the climb that they ride to power

Daily reminder that Quintana had a virtual 2 minute GC lead at the top of Stelvio in Stage 16 of the Giro in 2014, and that he would have remained in pink regardless of the descent neutralization controversy
>>
>>76133330
Asshole got offended by what Tom said and now he pulls this. I'm really not that worried about Tom, he's good enough to catch up. That poor break though. Had like what, five minutes? Then Movistar/Merida activated their motors and started pulling the whole peloton along dismantling that considerable advantage.

TomD got caught in the back of a group on a long descent. Other contenders put the pace on and caused a split.

Tom was lucky that Kruiswijk, Mollema, and Yates also missed the split.

Still chasing, and is about 30 seconds behind.

>>76133422
Tom gave a comment about the two focusing too much on him, and how it would be better if they dropped even further, or something like that. Then in response Nibbles got butthurt and also commented he'd regret that comment, or something about karma or something. And you can see the results. Poor break only has 11 seconds left. From over five minutes.

smaller frames are more comfortable, most pros use frames 1-2 sizes smaller than what is marketed to consumers

stiffer
lighter
more aero
the smaller the frame is the more nimble it feels too, it reacts quicker to body positioning and you dial out any twitchiness with a longer stem

Gilbert is 5'11" and rode a 48cm frame for a couple years! I think he rides a 52 now.

I just heard from a mate who's roadside watching the Giro that Dumoulin stopped to pee but there was no stream of urine.

Does Dumoulin just organize toiletbreaks at points that are interesting for his rivals, so they can't attack him? Very unsportsmanlike, if true

>>
>>76134090
It's just such a tired argument. Ion Izagirre dropped Nibali like a stone during the Tour last year.

Nibali is really good. Sagan is better. Izagirre is better. Dumoulin did that descent the other day quicker. Amador is probably better. Bardet might well be better.

We have no idea how good 99% of the peloton are at descending. Froome was supposedly an awful descender.
>>
>>76134073
But I support Dumoulin. He's clearly the strongest rider. Nibali is not "my" rider.
Never said anything bad about dutchs, contrary to them.

I was just saying that Dumoulin wasn't pissing and it's been proven to be so. All the Dumoulinfags erupted.

He did. Before that everyone said Nairo, Contador, and Nibali should attack him on the descents. Wiggins was an awful descender so of course Froome must be too!

We know Nibali, Sagan, Kwiat, Bardet, Izagirre and the likes are really good because we've seen it, but truthfully we never see the majority of the peloton do it.

I'd be surprised if anyone can go downhill faster than Stannard, but he's not a climber so he's rarely on camera doing it.

You compared a bike to a moto. The only similarity they share are the 2 wheels.

It was simply a human error.

Cyclists obviously don't train enough. They don't even go check out the roads beforehand most of the time, for fuck's sake.

They should ban watts and comm between the car and the riders now, this sport is becoming more and more unberable.

>>76134753
Probably not.

Still got a decent climb left though.

Christopher Weiss was cycling in New Orleans with his buddies during a recent Saturday ride when he felt a pop in his back.

Initially it was simply a stinging pain but within a few seconds his leg stopped working.

He was bent over his bike by the roadside as he and those he was with tried to figure out what had just happened.

The 49-year-old just happened to be in a group that include a doctor.

But even with that expertise at his disposal, all involved thought the worst case scenario was that he’d been shot with a pellet or paintball gun.

However, when he was taken to hospital and examined a bullet from a gun was found lodged in his flesh near his spine.

Hey dumbass, NO professional motorcycle racing corner changes instantaneously. It's never changing from a sweeping downhill bend to an impromptu hairpin. Their racing circuits are extremely controlled and outside of maybe the Macau GP track, have miles of runoff, chicanes, and safety barriers.
>>
>>76134791
>your point
You're the one making claims here that if you can turn a moto at 300kmh you should be able to at 30kmh with a bike.

I guess every sport needs that one dumbass in the thread.

What the fuck are you talking about? That's a lie.

As I said, they don't even do a recon beforehand most of the time.
They don't prepare well.

How much would Dumoulin be able to win, realistically, in the last TT? 1 minute? 30 sec?
>>
>>76135002
You only have to remember the anomalies and the places that can make a difference, genius. You don't have to prepare it as if it was a motorcycle race, knowing each and every corner perfectly.
>>
Any turns before the finish line for Landa to inexplicably fuck up?
>>
just started watching today and missed yesterday, did i miss anything good?
>>
>>76135026
between 1 and 1.45 max
>>
>>76135026
It all depends on how many toilet breaks Dumoulin has to take during the TT
>>
>>76135026
40 seconds is safe to assume, might be much more but it's a short ITT so shouldn't depend on it.
>>
>>76135026
depending on form 30secs to 90 i think
>>
>>76135031
It's an uphill finish so they'll be coming in much slower than the two previous times but he'll probably find a way.

>>76135815
However the Romandie TT was with Dumoulin not having trained on his TT bike beforehand, he learnt his lesson from that hence his strong performance in the first TT of this Giro
I'd say Pinot would still have to be atleast 30 seconds clear of Dumoulin going into stage 21 to be somewhat comfortable. Would definitely like to see Pinot take it over Quintana and Nibbles though

TTs in the last few days of a Grand Tour are always different beasts. So much depends on legs and recovery and all that.

Pinot and Zakarin finishing strongly, Tom and Quintana the opposite. It's still hard not to see Dumoulin put 30+ seconds into everyone though.

No, he doesn't he looks like sheit. He had to dig deep to hold Hirts wheel when Nibali accelerated and was reeled in by Reichenbach yesterday. Do you even remember how good he is normally? Tour 13/15? Vuelta last year?

>>76136086
Quintana's excuse is that he's attempting the Giro/Tour double. He trained to not peak yet. Perhaps he underestimated Dumoulin

Nibali's past it. He is no longer the dominant GT force. Even his last Giro win was a struggle. Same thing with Contador, I don't see Contador and Nibali win another GT

Always though it was over ambitious to go for the double. In a weaker generation if he was a better time trialist, maybe. But he will never ever defeat Bonestrong at the tour after riding a giro to win it.

They are dropped by Pinot and Zakarin 2 days in a row, so it's safe to say that they are on their heels. You are denying this lol
THAT is retarded.

>>76136243
They're still ahead of them.

I guess you also think Landa will win the Giro.
Who's the retard now?
>>
>>76136262
Nah, still you mate.
>>
Fact is Quintana just isn't the mythical climbing beast we've been led to believe he is. What he can do is hold 90% of his form for longer than others, and rarely has bad days.
>>
>>76136262
They are dangerous for the win now, so it's important.
Also dropped by Pozzovivo on these 2 stages.
They take all the time they can on Dumoulin, what do you think they are holding back when he has dropped?
Obviously not, they are just weaker at this time.

Tomorrow will be great. Strange finish with that flat part after the climb.
>>
Real shame we didn't get to see Landa riding GC. He wouldn't have gone down quietly.
>>
>>76136284
>facts prove you wrong
>nah I'm still right

>>76136312
If Quintana and Nibali won't be able to follow the guy who will likely going to take the Maglia Rosa tomorrow then you'd be right. Until then it's just pure speculation proved wrong by the facts.
>>
>>76136335
No, I'm right regardless as it stands. This is just based on current performance the last days.

Like you say:>>76136124
>buts and ifs
>>
>>76136335
What kind of medical assistance riders get this evening have no influence on the performances we have already seen. If we don't base it on past and (more importantly) present THEN we are speculating.
They might do a blood bag and fly tomorrow, who knows.
>>
>>76136335
What is the end game for Quintana to not match the attacks of >Pinot and Zak if he has any legs left on mountain stages where he is supposed to be the strongest and when he knows both of them are much stronger than him in the TT? It seems like Quintana's form is going to shit as he hasn't been the Quintana we've seen in the past. Might be due to targeting the double or for some other reason. However he wouldn't let anyone get closer to him if he could prevent it.
>>
Quintana and Nibali clearly aren't very strong at the moment. It's silly to suggest otherwise.
>>
>>76136288
Maybe not mythical, but best climber in the world atm
>>
>>76136384
The current performance says Quintana is the best and Nibali is just there with the second best who's Dumoulin.

That if would prove YOUR theory right, genius. Can't you into logic?
>>76136412
Except the present says Quintana is the best and Nibali is third.
>>76136427
You will only discover his "endgame" at the end. Duh.

Pinot and Zakarin arrived first in the last two stages. That doesn't prove they will surpass everyone in the end.

If Nibali or Quintana had the legs, it makes absolutely 100% no sense to let Pinot and Zakarin go. They're spent, and praying they can sneak home a podium finish. I hope they fail.
