stage 7 now and we have achaotic situation with the race splintering at the early cat 2 climb leaving a ~50 riders up the road with 2 minutes on the sprinters
based dumoulin still in the maglia rosa as him and Pozzovivo aswell as zakkarin put some time intothe other top contenders
everything retourning to standard order with sprinters coming back and a 5man group gone clear.
and here i was hoping for some mayham.
at leats this opens the door for a potential kittel or greipel win
my body is ready!
probably too bumpy for Kittel
Greipel or Viviani
CANT MAUL THE DUMOULIN
>eurosport broadcasting
based Dumoulins attack from yesterday really sold me on this years Giro
i am legit hype
Dumoulin will win the GIro
cap this
RIP
that looks like a bad crash
who dead
Javier Moreno
Was there any footage of the crash? i rewound on eurosport and the first shot he's already on the ground with 2 motorbikes behind
if there is i haven't seen it
I found this
kittel surely will get back on.
here hoping for KITTELWINSLOL
Etixx pls

cheeky strawpoll on cyclinghub during the commercial

This race is so boring compared to last year.
Giro confirmed for worst grand tour again
because we don't have murderous crashes all day?
last year there werent any real sprintr teams so breaks often go through, also the GC looks way more interesting than last year
son i'm disappointed
Last year Astana were roid raging every stage. This year nothing happens ever.
This. their performance in the Giro compared to the tour was a joke, especially when they had riders test positive in the tour
rip kittel
oh fuck off
kittel dropped again
>kitlel
does the >team sky meme, not begin before TDF?
Remember a few years ago when they absolutely shat on everyone on the tour and claimed it was "muh secrit mountain and watt autism training"
where is sky now
we gorilla now
hopefully Demare for my fantasy team's sake tho
Get on the motor bike marcel!
prepare for the ultimate kittelwinslol lads!
So with their training system chris froome can go from regular domestique to multiple TdF and beating world TT champions in TTS......
But they don't give their other riders the same training because Dave is tired now and wants a lie down....
Sure...
why isnt /vroom/ in the giro?
saving for tdf?
Greipel is good when Kittel isn't there
GORILLABOYZ
i was 100% sure he was locked out of hat sprint
what a machine
GERMANY
THANK YOU BASED GREIPEL
Ewan is so shit pmsl
>where is sky now
team sky is ni the giro?
Greiple has such a scary lower jaw
Yeah. this shit isn't worth lord skeletor's time.... who's even heard of the giro of italy?
nice leadout by modolo
yes i noticed it too
gg greipel
that weaving through inthe sprint
masterclass of a sprint
surgically designed for maximum aero and marginal gains
if we really want to get the bants going the last Giro Froome rode he had that infamous motorbike holding DSQ
>letting cuckbali and chokeverde tire themselves out before the main event of the year
skeleton king has figured it all out
and porte last year with the wheel swap... sky just have this shitty snobbery about them like the kid who's only happy when they have the best toy, and we all know that that kids a cunt.
who here /filthylarafantasy/?
honestly I used to be a hater but I read Froome's ghostwritten autobiography and he doesn't seem all that bad. apparently he and Porte were actually bros so I dunno how that's working out now that they're on different teams.
My main annoyance comes from stupid brits who say "Oh froome is winning? good!.... what you actually watch cycling?"
yeah at least here we don't have Lance casuals since he got BTFO by USADA. the cycling fans left all know van Garderen and Talansky are choke artists despite the compulsory live TV interviews after each and every Tour stage.
Thats partially my fear, if everyone gets behind one team or one rider like with lance this sport is so fucked.
If froome then sagan test positive, its over
at the same time it's lucky there's a 'big 4' of riders now, the fallout would be limited. what was really offensive and enabling of the Lance/US Postal doping conspiracy was the collusion with the UCI, chances are that's not going on anymore.
There are but sky are the best financed team in the sport and their sponsor are only interested in casuals who dont know that there are a big 4...
If the UCI are benefitting there's always a chance for collusion! I guess ASO being more powerful might mean they put more pressure on the UCI because upsetting the sport is upsetting their revenue.... But then they did fuck up the Dakar Rally pretty well.
