Looks like Froome has let Yates borrow his ‘inhaler’.

Serious answer: exercise induced asthma is a fairly common issue due to the vast amount of dust and stuff that gets breathed in.

Pinot stable at a minute and 4 secs behind.

Pinot DO NOT FUCK THIS UP

Oh ffs

Yates is too good (to be true?) this giro. tomorrow’s time trial will be Tom’s last chance. He will need to get at least 3 mins. Based on the on the average gap in previous time trials (2 a 3s per km) he will get max 90s. But we will see.

Quote:

Thibaut Pinot, fourth overall this morning, is having a bit of a shocker, 49th at the first split. This could be ominous for his overall Giro prospects.

Quote:

Pinot’s dismal run ends with him crossing the line in 43:19, 61st today, three minutes and 19 seconds off the lead, and his Giro chances are in tatters.

Says the gruan.

I saw Yates lost 39 minutes and thought it must have been a misprint. Bloody hell!

"“I didn’t say that Froomey went out and railed a load of gear and came back and won the stage. I’m just saying he made a bigger comeback than Easter Sunday. There’s no innuendo. I’m not [implying] anything"

Statement on Froome

Well there we have it.

romanista · **Posted:** Mon Jul 02, 2018 10:45

smart move by ASO to force a statement

MaliA · **Posted:** Mon Jul 02, 2018 11:13

Quote:

Pantani matched Lance Armstrong on Mont Ventoux, leaving the field behind. Armstrong eased and appeared to allow Pantani the stage victory. Pantani said that he felt insulted by the gesture, causing bad feelings between the two which were exacerbated when Armstrong referred to him as Elefantino (Italian for 'little elephant')

I am still annoyed over this.

romanista · **Posted:** Mon Jul 02, 2018 13:28

ofcourse, but luckily he took revenge a few days later.. which i saw while being near his home... i even wrote a poem about it

MaliA · **Posted:** Thu Jul 05, 2018 13:22

In the regrettable absence of Pinot, i'm going to say Bardet will do very well. He can go up and down, and is pretty strong so far this year.

romanista · **Posted:** Thu Jul 05, 2018 19:26

@mali, participate in our prediction game..easy rules, just list the 15 riders who will get most points

David Millar's Time Trial film in on amazon prime for a fiver. It follows him through his last season racing. It could be pretty good as he's often good for a quote. I will watch tomorrow

Porte out! Christalive, what a shame. Really feel for him. Poor bloke.

Oh my (for the chalk)!

And I love that Tour of Britain route. Guess it is too complicated these days, or just better from the route-challenge point of view to have disparate stages, but there is something purist about cycling round a contiguous loop of some kind.

Yes, that was quite a performance by Pinot in the Fog.. dissapointed kelderman dropped off so soon, bur Kruijswijk certainly bravely clang on.. on to the time trial!
