Giro d'Italia 2017 |OT|
- Thread starter Fonds
- Start date
Richeze going so fast he came in fifth. He should have sprinted to take second or third.Another win for Gaviria, yes!
So Nicky Hayden got hospitalized with serious cerebral damage after a collision with a car when cycling off the coast of Rimini.
Sad news and another cycling incident in Italy in a short period of time.

Geraint Thomas is going home after failing to recover from injuries in the infamous Police bike crash.

Stage 4 started at Santa Barbara which is a great place to visit, it's kinda funny that the stage ends near Magic Mountain. The Queen's Stage 5 took place on Glendora Mountain Road and Mt. Baldy, beautiful places to ride. The Stage 6 TT takes place at Big Bear Lake, very scenic.I just turned this on at your reminder and man is the stage 4 finish depressing. Strip malls and big box stores. They can't find anything more picturesque to compete with the shots from the Giro/Vuelta/TdF?
But yeah, the final Stage 7 will finish in Old Town Pasadena, more strip malls and big box stores, lol.

Wow. Just saw the replay of today's sprint.
Perhaps the most impressive sprint I've seen since the one where Cav came from 50m back in a TdF stage 5-6 years ago.

I actually got engaged in SBA, and lived 10 years all over LA (including Montrose near Pasadena), so yeah I know the area well. I agree Stage 5 looked great, really enjoyed that one. Still haven't watched stage 6 footage yet. Finish is in Old Town? Well, it could be the Paseo I suppose... should finish it at JPL though for maximum cool points.

What a strange little stage today's is. Shortest stage of the race with a single, though brutal at the end, climb at the end. I suppose the best we can hope for is for Movistar or Bahrain to smash the entire climb and see if they can unhook enough of Tom's guys to leave him exposed on the steeper section. Though I suspect most the bigs guys will all come in together.

Great win.
Nibali really struggling at the end.
Very impressive from Tom, but it will be interesting to see how he does on the multi category climbs. This suited him well.

Wow what a performance! Nibali and Quintana cracked. Even if Dumoilin loses time in the multi mountain stages, he can still make it back in the final ITT.

Come on vincenzo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeez that Kangert crash was horrific, poor guy broke his elbow
Yeah that was a nasty sight.
Thread has been updated again so we're ready for the final week of Mountain Stages.
Can't wait to see if Tom can defend his jersey in the coming stages.

Isn't there supposed to be a marshal flagging to indicate road furniture? Seems like an accident that didn't need to happen.Jeez that Kangert crash was horrific, poor guy broke his elbow

Usually yes but the marshals this Giro have nearly been the cause of some crashes with their dumb positioning so not sure which option is best really :/
That crash war indeed horrible though!
Will this be the stage where Tom breaks, or shows how much he has shaped up to be a real contender in the grand tours? Go Tom!

Breakaway is falling apart now, time to sit up. Same with Verona for Yates.
