Healy is ballsy. Great to see him. Fingers crossed for Eddie, he's had a great debut as team leader and I really hope he can hold on to his place.

How is he at TT? I know it's a climb so hard to translate

 

[Carmona]

Guapo, he doesn't seem the best but as you say, this one will be different being a tough climb. Add to that, it's the second to last stage and they're all fairly fooked.... The GC lads often mirror their position, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the top 4 or 5 in GC being in similar positions tomorrow. If Kuss wanted to make a statement he could give it a lash, but otherwise the motivation must be low. Like if you're 23rd, are you going to break your balls on that climb to jump a place or two?

Here we go - Passo Giau - parts of the early kms are 14%
Just under 50km to go

Ineos doing the bare minimum at the front. Hope someone attacks sooner rather than later.

I'm sure Eddie would disagree C!

 

[Carmona]

True, T. I thought of that! But I'd love to see a bit of action.

 

[BlackpoolTerrier]

6:37 of a lead for the break at the bottom of the Tre Croci - decent sized group in the break too.
Is everyone holding their fire until the Lavaredo? Is that where Rog launches again?

Unbelieveable scenery on this stage

 

[Carmona]

Scenery is something else alright, but Terrier, you'd nearly keep up with fucking Ineos pace yourself. I coulda taken a nap. All in for last 5k it seems.

Jaysus, the immortally-monikered Gee has taken some scatter of KOH points on this stage

 

[Carmona]

The GC lads are all cooked I reckon
