Big group attacked, Contador attacked and is now in a time trial together with Valverde to close the gap to the lead group :p 

 

Who else is in the lead group in terms of GC?

Not entirely sure what the exact list of riders is, but I'm fairly sure Pinot is there as well. Valverde and Contador seem to have trouble to close the gap though.

Thanks, I'm relying on you to keep me updated today ;)

How is Dan Martin doing? I am hoping for a good performance by him today.

Alright people, you gotta read this :d

 

https://www.reddit.com/r/peloton/comments/4rk5y7/the_eqslidl_podium_conspiracy_theory/

 

The EQS-Lidl conspiracy: when there is a Lidl (German/European supermarket) within 10km of the centre of the finishing town, the chance of an EQS-rider taking a podium in that stage goes up with around 50% for every added Lidl :d (for races in Italy and France)

 

Today there are no Lidl's near the finish, so no stage for EQS :p

I didn't see him today :p 

 

De Gendt is definitely going for the polka dots.

Most likely Contador will not finish this stage..it seems he has huge troubles, fever and he doesn´t feel good at all...it´s around 30 minutes that he is still behind the peloton and non stop walking with his sport director

    • Yes, she was unlucky, but it could just as easily have happened during some training, like with Gut, etc. Brignone has been essentially injury-free throughout her long career, which is very rare in this sport. It's unfortunate that this happened after her best season ever and just 1 year before the Olympic Games in home, when she just missing of win the Olympic gold medal in her great career. With the gold in Cortina, she would have become a legend of Italian skiing, on par with Tomba. Now she's still the best Italian woman in history, but the miss of Olympic gold will likely haunt her for the rest of her life. 
    • It sad to see this season, as I remember, that Fede last year was winning everywhere, when she competed and finished and now we haven't even managed a single podium in the giant slalom, and it'll probably stay that way until the end of the season. Without Fede and Bassino, unfortunately, we're out of good cards in this event. For me Goggia should probably skip the giant slalom at all, becouse she has no chance of a podium and she risks further injuries. If even Goggia finish 8th or 10th? What difference does it make? If she couldn't get a podium finish today with so many DNFs at the top skiers, she probably never do. Della Mea is OK this year, but let's be honest, she's not World Cup podium material. Overall, it's a sad picture, and we have a 0% chance of anything in Cortina unless a miracle happens in Brignone return.   We have two chances for Goggia in DH and SG + maybe a dark horse in Pirovano/Curtoni in SG. That's all. In technical events, we have a 0% chance for medal and that's sad. Our federation also lost Colturi in this situation... In any normal country, the head of such a federation should be dismissed for disciplinary reasons and this case should be investigated by the minister, or even the prime minister, but not in Italy...
    • Mikaela Shiffrin  off the podium today (Edit: Oops...I thought this was slalom, not Giant Slalom.).  Nina Astner  entered the 2nd run in 30th place, but had the best second run, jumping up 18 places to 12th.
