    Yeah…. finally a GT. 

    Should be interesting. Not the strongest line up we’ll ever see but that might be a great chance for the under card….

    Bouwman and Mollema in the break?  Not good news for them really.

    Stage 7 and some real racing!  Potentially big day for the Road.CC overall.

    Schmidt to win!

    Yeah… just couldn’t see the point of that today. I suppose it could have been for the sponsors with the chance to show off the jersey.

    They made a mistake with Rosa.  I think they need Rosa to try to lead Fortunato into a breakaway tomorrow.

    I think this stage has been agreed in advance by the riders for an easy day (it happens). Kamna getting the KOM pts is the trade for Adroni getting to ride away unchallenged for their intermediate competition. Rosa is an odd one.. no idea what’s happening there…. Kelly suggesting the race organisers may have requested it to improve the stage.

    Clever riding, I suppose, to wait until after the climb to grab a few more points.  Bit annoying they didn’t at least let two of them ride up to Rosa though.

    Just spotted why Tagliani isn’t bothered.  He’s going for the intermediate sprint comp, and both sprints are after climbs.

    One rider break?!  Hmphh…

    Even my banker Tagliani isn’t bothered.  This is ridiculous.  Hopefully Tagliani, Demare, Gaviria and Girmay will go for the intermediate and give us some racing.

    I’m thinking a snooze fest today…. Tagliani in the break as a wild guess…

    My gut feeling is no because he is due to ride the Tour as well. Having said that, if the points jersey is in reach things could be different. I love his ultra aggressive style of riding – must be a nightmare for other teams.

    Don’t be surprised to see him

    Don’t be surprised to see him in a break or two either. He’s fantastic. 
     

    Do you think he will complete this Giro?

    Same here, very nearly took

    Same here, very nearly took Cav out for MVdP but held fire and was cursing up until final Km. Looked like he had a mechanical as he was in a great position then just sat up. He is going to be a real loose cannon now Mareczko has dropped out – says he is only interested in stage wins but was clearly after points today!

    Got away with one there.

    Got away with one there. Chose to go without MVDP to get both Cav and Caleb… doh…

    MVDP and his team were absolutely fantastic. The tactic was obvious but they well and truly killed off The two favourites.
