Movistar gc'de ikiye amador üçede valverde'yi koyarak astana'ya karşı büyük baskı oluşturma fırsatını ele geçirdi. Geçen sene astana'nın contadora yaptığını bu sene onlar yapabilir.
İlerleyen günlerde astana ve movistar başbaşa kalacak gibi.
Bundan sonra maxime monfort ve hesjedal'de kendini gösterebilir.
Kalbimde esteban chaves ve krueswijk var. Zakarini sevmiyorum

Şu anda etabı tekrar seyrediyorum. 57-60km kala Fdj takımının ara sprint öncesi takım olarak kaçmalarına neden izin verildi ? İlginç bir görüntüydü
Astana'da valerio agnoli'nin bileğinde kırık varmış. Ayrıca kazada IAM Cycling takımından üç sporcu orta derece sıyrıklar almışlar.
IAM Cycling takımından Laengen bundan sonraki etaplarda da kaçış grubunu deneyecekmiş
Vincenzo Nibali critical of Alejandro Valverde after missed opportunity at the Giro d’Italia
Vincenzo Nibali was on the attack with Valverde and Chaves after the final descent.
"Every opportunity could be worth it, it could be the right move. We're here to race, not to go for a stroll," he told Cyclingnews and Spaziociclismo.
"When you see a chance, it's only right to go for it, and even to try surprise moves and counter attacks. That's racing. It didn't work out today but if it had, we could have gained 30 or 40 seconds, which could have been really important in the fight for the overall classification.
"I told Valverde to work to but he said ‘no, no' and said he had Amador behind. He wasn't convinced it would work and so we sat up. Then when we got caught, Amador attacked…
"It was perhaps difficult to do something today but it made me think that Movistar is now racing with two riders, I think they want to try to play the GC with two riders. But if Valverde wanted to gain time today he could have worked with me and it would have happened. He didn't and so that's what makes me think about their tactics. Today we missed chance to gain time on people like Pozzovivo, Majka, Kruijswijk and Zakarin."
"It's important to stay calm and focused. There's still a lot of racing ahead of us and a lot of climbing to do, which will reveal who is really riding well.
"After the crash, I had no teammates. I did not think abou taking the pink jersey. I was just thinking about gaining valuable seconds.
“We must also think about riders like Zakarin and Majka. From there, another race began: we got up and everyone returned. Ulissi chose the right time to attack. Congratulations to him.”
