Ganna is a unit!

Yep, massive ride from Ganna.

all gone a bit apocalyptic

ganna riding like all four horsemen combined

Descent is gonna be sketch.

he's basically time trialling up the hill, not even changed from the big ring yet.

I'm wondering if Italy is still on the same time-zone as us after Brexit. It's surely about 8pm there? Ganna needs lights!!

Nibali opening a gap very quickly
Edit- no he’s not

Ganna is a surprisingly bad descender for a guy of his size.

Not very fluid but hardly Zakarin. He’s holding the gap.

Which surprises me as he’s messed up most of the slower corners.

should’ve brought discs

Nibali getting the traditional support from the tv bikes

Can’t see this group pulling him back now.

I’d like to see a scenario where Bernal has a mechanical and has to get on Ganna’s bike.

Wouldn't wish to be racing down this on wet roads...

which is a bit of a surprise given Ganna's nationality...

Is it against the rules for Bernal to sit on Ganna's handlebars and get TTed to the finish?

Very cool steam train!!

Incredible ride from Ganna

Was it me or did it have pink smoke?

That was a cheeky little ramp with 300 to go.

Top work Phillip Gunn.

what’s italian for hat

MVDP and Alaphilippe in a group of five off the front at Brabantse Pijl.

Indeed. If he can do that and time trial surely he could easily become a grand tour contender in the future. He barely seemed bothered by the climb. I suppose we'll see how he does over the next few weeks

very pink...
Great win by Ganna, he went just quickly enough on the descent.
You wouldn't want to come round the final bend of a 255k ride and see that finish :o
