Giro Stage 18+19 (spoilers, of course)
I thought Schachmann was very impressive in his endgame today. Totally in control.

Also, looks like cadence and others were right about things not being over, and that ultra was right about Froome keeping his podium chances alive. Nice move by Sky to send Poels up the road to help Froome out for the final 2k.

His pain face was epic, and classic. Me thinks he was playing dead keeping something in reserve. Raced his bikah to perfection today - chapeau!

Ah, Chiappucci at Sestriere. I remember having tears in my eyes when he made it.

Dumoulin's attack was a freakin' HAYMAKER. Yates made it but had nothing left for the counter, and Dumoulin did. It was an amazing end to the stage and I'm SUPER excited for the next two days. It really could go either way.

I think Yates was fine giving up some time, just not quite that much. rest day / tt / sprint stage, and then this. It could be the end of the giro catching up with him (made more interesting by the route today) or it could have been a determination that where he really needed his legs is tomorrow on the cima. Hard to say. I dont think he wanted to ship half of his time, but I also think TD will struggle beating him on the next two stages given the type of climbing...we'll see.

Yep, they go up the Finestre every few years. Here's the clip from 2015.

There's a cool saying in Spanish, "The devil is wise because of his old age, and not because he's the devil"....

I hope Froome pulls out some magic from his experience during the next two days... its going to be epic.. cant wait!

Cool guys!

Does this gravel climb ever throw a wrench into things or does everyone just take it easy to get it over with and it's no big deal?
