Yeh , another interesting day at the office . I tend to think the last day ITT is a bit daft , they would be far better with a mass finish. .

Bud the Baker Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Dumoulin seems to be struggling on the final climb. Can he get by with a little help from his friends on the Sunweb team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TPAFKATS Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Dumoulin seems to be struggling on the final climb. Can he get by with a little help from his friends on the Sunweb team? Boom, boom, boom!He loses pink jersey. Some stage today, including yet more unsporting behaviour from the usual suspects.Not as bad as the Trek rider who 'bottled' the Movistar rider who cut in front of him though [emoji23] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Yeah the rules of the peloton seem to be more liberally interpreted these days. In a few years pro-cycling could be a bit like Death Race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 3 guys within a minute of Quintana. Quote 1 QUINTANA Nairo MOV MOVISTAR TEAM 85h 02’ 40” 0’ 00” 2 DUMOULIN Tom SUN TEAM SUNWEB 85h 03’ 18” 0’ 38” 3 NIBALI Vincenzo TBM BAHRAIN - MERIDA 85h 03’ 23” 0’ 43” 4 PINOT Thibaut FDJ FDJ 85h 03’ 33” 0’ 53” Nibali & Pinot must attack tomorrow whereas the pressure might be less on Dumoulin now he's out the pink but still with the chance to pull back 1-1½ mins on the ITT.

Bud the Baker Posted May 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) Interesting to see Nibali, Pinot & Quintana trying to ride away from Dumoulin in the final climb................. *************** 1. T. PINOT (81) 2. I. ZAKARIN (151) 3. V. NIBALI (1) Pinot & Nibali get the bonuses, Quintana 5th on the same time, Dumoulin 15 secs behind on the day 53 secs overall! Say what you like about Shitegate but it's left the prospect of a brilliant final day! Mon the guy in the b&w stripes "Tiny" Tom Dumoulin!

Great result especially after the events of Stage 16. Congrats to Dumoulun who has worked to make himself a better allrounder since "hitting the wall" on the penultimate stage of the 2015 Vuelta. ********** Oh and Adam Hansen was 93rd.
