I think Yates has always been a good time trialist. The course had a lot of turns and some uphill so the traditional TT guys did not do so well.

And i thought I was the lone dinosaur in this group.

Fantastic sprint win for Cav. I thought he went way too early--seemed like 10 guys were all right on his wheel, but no one could come around.

Sucks to see Caleb Ewan crash again, but it looked like he was just going so deep that he straight up rode into the wheel in front of him.

+1 Cav.

Caleb forgets he can ride anyone off his wheel. Something to remember maybe when you are about to ride over the guy in front of you. His power is just unreal...

For sure, but then no one gained a mm on his for like an hour! [seemed like] Totally expected different outcome... Was a linear power effort/effect to the line, wow!

Thought the overhead shot was really interesting. Can’t believe how long Cav held on to that sprint. Girmay in fourth but completely boxed in and actually twice stopped pedaling and briefly coasted during the sprint because he just had nowhere to go. So it seems he may have the pure power and speed to win a flat bunch sprint? Hope he comes through with a stage win here.

Cheap.

My team is flying high—but all of us veteran Velogames players know how fast fortunes can change. Maybe your team will make a comeback in the mountains—unless they have crashed out or quit.

That sprint was so long! Count me among those who thought Cav would never take another grand tour stage. Sure glad I put him on my Velogames team. Girmay looks dangerous too—watch out if he gets positioned better at the finish.

Jeeez.. opened up this thread thinking Giro had a new helmet or something..

[Gianni Bianchi]

I have Tratnik on my VG team and he's out.

That was fast. Hoping Bardet does something special tomorrow.

I gave up trying to watch the giro. I have roku, YouTube tv, Apple TV and it’s nowhere. Same for 20 years. Seems like they would figure this **** out.

I don't know who "they" are or what they need to figure out, but you may be able to figure it out here:

First Tratnik dropped out and today Miguel Angel Lopez dropped out.

There goes my Velogames team.
