Pro-cycling thread

The chasing group are catchup up.... and Kelderman has stopped bleeding time...

Rohan Dennis to finish with the Grupetto?

Kelderman is really fighting to get that jersey. I wouldn't bet against him sneaking it onto his shoulders

Fair play to Fuglsang

I knew you'd know :)

Especially with a TT still to come

Keldermann seems to have steadied the ship

Guilty as charged

Tao to go with 4km to go?

Reckon Hindley will win, he is letting tao pace it

he has no choice about riding on the front, he is not team leader...

Bilbao to ride straight past them both...

tao still looking alright. needs to keep working away at it. presumably can't go too hard w/hindley so close on the GC. might want to go a bit harder towards the top to get kelderman under a minute

still got sestriere

got to take time when someone is weak. i think Tao is on the limit really

Bilbao making up 10s a km?

I guess if you'd told him a few weeks ago he could be on the podium at the giro he'd have taken that

Bibao a threat, 12 seconds off Tao at start of stage.

if bilbao catches and goes past, would expect tao/hindley to jump on and the gap to kelderman start growing again. lot of time to catch up though and the road's running out

reckon? he looks comfortable enough. no voeckler-esque gurning at least

Tao turning it up a notch?

Has Bilbao got a nickname yet? Maybe Baggins?

i think i`m just a pessimist. who knows!

They both look solid, but Bilbao looks aggressively solid.

hard to tell, I admit. everyone reacts differently. soon find out

Would be bitter sweet for Wilco to put the pink on at the end of this
