Nibali wins Stage 19 & Chaves takes over the Pink Jersey for Orica-GreenEDGE. Tomorrow is the final mountain stage & it should be a beauty with those two plus Kruijswijk & maybe Valverde all battling to win the Giro.

Steven Kruijswijk started the day with a three minute lead in the General Classification but then this happened ...............

Lucky not to suffer severe injuries there!

After a dull first two weeks, the race exploded in the last. Brilliant win by Nibali.

by Big Dog Sun 29 May 2016, 23:32

Nibali clinches the Giro. Chaves did well to take second after being involved in a crash.

by Big Dog Mon 06 Jun 2016, 08:14

Contador has set the early pace in the Dauphine prologue with Porte second & Froome a long way back in third.

by tricycle Mon 06 Jun 2016, 09:47

Think Froome should be fine, being only 13 seconds back. Pinot, surprisingly, was quite rubbish yesterday.

by Big Dog Fri 10 Jun 2016, 23:32

Froome edged out Porte for a stage win & takes the leaders jersey with Porte second & Yates third. Contador was disadvantaged by an accident in the peloton & is now 21 seconds off the pace.

by tricycle Sun 12 Jun 2016, 14:22

Quite a few attempts by contador in each of the past couple of stages. But Froome comfortably the best in this race. Quintana will do the route du Sud, I guess.

by Big Dog Sun 12 Jun 2016, 22:45

Bad mistake by Porte. Let himself be boxed in with 500m to go & missed the sprint to the line. Cost him two places.

by WideWally Fri 26 Aug 2016, 15:27

I guess discussion of the Vuelta will start hotting up sometime soon. Tomorrow? Monday? September 9?

At the moment the biggest news is that half the field has ~~diarrrea~~ ~~diarohhea~~ ~~diarrhhoea~~ the shits.

by WideWally Fri 26 Aug 2016, 16:21

Has Simon Clarke managed to get himself into a breakaway with 27km to go?

........... and it looks as though Rein Taaramae had to abandon after being cleaned up by a car. Originally reported as illness.

by WideWally Sat 27 Aug 2016, 16:45

A much better performance from Quintana today compared to his efforts in the Tour de France.

by WideWally Sat 10 Sep 2016, 16:58

Froome is unable to take any time off Nairo Quintana in the final mountain stage & so the Colombian will win the 2016 Vuelta. Froome will be second & Chaves third for Orica.

by tricycle Sat 10 Sep 2016, 19:42

Really decent racing. Quite the season grand tour wise for both the top two riders. And what an absolute machine Valverde is.

Apart from that one day where Quintana and Contador escaped, Orica had a near flawless race tactically.

I see Froome, Mr G and other Sky Racing types are in the poo...if not injecting it

pitch tampering and jabbing it up...the qualities Mudge admires

by tricycle Mon 19 Sep 2016, 03:02

Froome has mentioned his TUEs publicly before. Wiggins, though, does have issues.

by JGK Mon 19 Sep 2016, 03:57

With all the illnesses etc being treated you wonder why some of these guys aren't in the paralympics.

by horace Mon 19 Sep 2016, 04:29

Spot on.

Most of them are only asthma.

Which itself is statistically amazing.

by tricycle Mon 19 Sep 2016, 06:58

They are more susceptible to exercise induced asthma.
