I already know that dumbass, see filename
would like to know if they are italian, I bet they aren't

Wrong thread perhaps but my mountain bike is making a rattling sound apparently coming from the front gears. I noticed it went away when I changed the back gears to below 7, and upon closer inspection they were quite sandy. Could sand cause such a noise?

147 riders remaining

I don't know
Garzelli said he changes the chain very often during a Giro, I don't remember if every day or every 3 days or something like that; sand is little stones basically, wash the damn thing and get a new chain already

Lube it up and see if that helps

first breakaway already started, 17 seconds

Don't riders have their bikes thoroughly washed every evening? That being said, yeah, I can believe they get their chains swapped every 3 or so days, muh marginal gains and all that.

>marginal gains
that's exactly what he said; anyway, they have 12 gears in the rear pack, they use those in the middle mostly to keep the chain as straight as possible, but of course the chain could be really "oblique" for several km every day, so it get a little ruined in that case; microns eh

>Nibali is in the group of breakaway

WTF, where are my live pictures?

I am watching l'Equipe and they are discussing the Jumbo-Pissma incident.

Dutch liveblog doesn't say Nibali is in the breakaway

>Nibali A.
It's his brother in the breakaway. Mr. Shark in the peloton.

I forgot that Nibali has a brother...it's Antonio Nibali.

It's like with the stem angle for this season (or was it last season) - UCI allowed it to be changed from, like, -5° to -7° and _everyone_ in the peleton did it, because it apparently saves you 1 watt per 100 km at 50 km/h with reduced drag alone (but only if you keep riding in the drops).
It's more voodoo at that point.

It could happen, though the question is how good Roglic will be since he has done the Giro too.

Is everyone forgetting Thomas or was last year just a fluke?

Valid point.

yeah, and that's scummy
it'd be tactics if you slowed down to help or get helped by teammates, to use your teammates as an empty threat to wheelsuck is a scumbag move

it was a fluke to have a 'real' brit win

Fluke, he'll have 2 crashes this year to compensate

Froome was in his second GT in a row and he was still considered the leader until like the last 2/3 stages despite behind down 2 minutes, this year they are all in on him.

Roglic 1'10'' behind Nibbles, his legs are gone

It's Richie Porte's year this time for sure

Nope it's tactics because if ciccone actually stops they are gonna catch him up. If it was an empty threat he wouldn't even need to worry about it.

what's the time cut today?

1h according to pcs

More like he has no team. You can't win a GT without having domestiques that can help you in the mountains.

Or he is just too much of a time trial specialist and cannot compete in the climbs quite at the level of Nibali, Carapaz and the likes.

If he wins the giro he'll probably be their best bet.

they really messed up letting Carapaz ride away on stage 14

error responsibility was Roglic 60% Nibali 40%

Even at the finish Nibali looks satisfied and pumping his fist, thinking Roglic is still his direct opponent.
They were both really to focused on each other.

Whatever, Nibali has to switch his attention now, because he needs to chip down the 1:47 minutes on Carapaz.
If he doesn't get it below 1:10 on Carapaz until the TT, then Carapaz has it.

Polanc still in top 10. BASED

Impressive if Carapaz, who turns 26 tomorrow wins the Giro. Quintana finished 2nd in the Tdf at 23 and won the Giro at 24

Quintana was 36 when he won that giro

now he is 44 years old

Nibbz was so mad last week, looks like at this point it's not about winning, it's about making Rojlik lose.

what happened to quintana?

why did he peak so early?

...

Predictions for tomorrow:

- Movistar will make it hard for TBM with Nibali to attack, driving the tempo high
- Nibali will nonetheless try everything on the last 5-6 km, win the stage, gain bonus seconds but cannot distance Carapaz who will finish 2nd
- Roglic will along with Yates, Mollema, and Lopez finish 1.5 minutes behind the winner
