  1. 2 broken riders on the mend. One was 7 years ago lpsing the pink jersey on the same climb. The other with an almost career ending crash while both on points and KOM jersey in La Vuelta. Both riding the ghosts away up the penultimate climb on the Giro! What a story!

  2. in the previous day's stage I described Yates as incapable of finishing a team job! Sorry Simon! Today you were brave and together with Wout you wrote the redemption!

  3. Great job butโ€ฆ.i donโ€™t think is normal that Del Toro did not followed him. Isaac sprinted at the arriveโ€ฆ.

  4. E' scattato in faccia alla maglia rosa che รจ rimasta a guardare andando a guadagnarsela davvero, una lezione di sport, la maglia va onorata, sudata, grande coraggio, grandezza assoluta

  5. Hats off to Simon. And, what wonderful sport men he an Wout are. Total humility and modesty in victory and defeat. An example for sportsmen like van Stappen in F1. It's not all about winning but about how one behaves in competition, win or lose. Much like Del Toro and Carapaz. Honourable in defeat.

  6. For those who donโ€™t understand, riding behind Wout through the transition (gaining even more time and recovering from the massive effort that he put in on Fenestre), enabled him to finish it off on the final climb. Del Toro and Carapaz didnโ€™t have that break through the valley; they had to do all the work themselvesโ€ฆand then arrived exhausted to climb Sestriere. This is a classic team move and it was executed to perfection.
