Its like 2 pelotons today

I have kinda lost my joy for this Giro .....organisation such a farce

Kelly is right ...if they had cancelled the Stelvio yesterday and put rider safety first they wouldn't have this problem

Seems Tinkoff is leading all negotiations !! Wouldn't like to be the one that says no to him !!!!!

Any idea what the closest is on GC in that bunch? They should all just let the break go everyday and make Movistar do 100% of the work for the rest of the Giro.

Answer: 48 minutes

How am I *still* getting WORSE at velogames? I had Quintana yesterday, and now I'm down a place to 54th. **** this

Should be a good finish, although they shouldn't really bother showing the pink jersey group, they're just having the crack..

Deignan trying to bridge

Not going to bridge that gap on your own. You need 2 or 3 to make it.

What the **** where the other 4 lads thinking?

Pirazzi in tears, happy for him and happy for Bardiani.

Hard to imagine he could have been unaware 5 riders were up the road. I'd have thought he was having a bit of a laugh.

. . . Though a quick google & his Twitter account he calls himself the clown of the day - in the sense of getting it wrong rather than having a laugh!
