excellent studio talk today on the mentality and character of GC riders..a very knowledgeable host Orla Chennaoui, Brian Smith and with Sir Bradley you're always gonna get some extra insight on cycling on the top-class level.
Well done Chavez! It's great to see him back to winning form. To top it off, his stage victory will partially hide the mediocre performance by the MS squad. And S. Yates will show more respect for other GC contenders. If Nibali can't get rid of Roglic during Saturday's stage, then he will end the Giro in 3rd place.
Yeah which is why I was shocked Nibali closed the gap with Carapaz on his wheel to Roglic. Why didn’t he make Carapaz close it and then attack over the top?
Quinten Akkerman what’s the general etiquette for attacking when another ride has a mechanical? Like it’s not like they can jus stop stop and wait for him, since the peloton is closing on then. But I do remember something about it not being considered allowed to attack if the pink jersey had a mechanical. Is that just for the pink jersey?
Is it just me or the giro this year looked way boring than last year? I mean where are the mountain stages where the GC guys destroy the field and makes up massive time. How many attacks were here this year? and everyone is just following and relying on the time trial at stage 20. Looked like a very boring GC to me.
@@htdtr , he is not the main commentator , he is there for his knowledge of racing and if you listen to him he has great insight ( I know his Irish accent is quite strong though )
Esteban "The Smile" Chaves! What a champ!
What an absolutely loveable character he is :D
I'm in tears for you Esteban, today was your day! Congratulations
I love You Chaves! Such a nice guy, going through struggles and win..
Kudos Esteban. You're a WINNER!
so happy for this guy and his family
congratulations Chaves
Esteban - has there even been such a loveable guy in cycling? One of a kind and a thoroughly deserved winner.
Estaban Chaves a true champion

Much respect to Vendrame for still finishing 2nd!
Its now or never for nibali tmr. He needs to do "froome" or "pantani" tmr to win giro. 💪💪
1234aaaa100 Well what Froome pulled last year was something else. I doubt Nibali has the legs at this point.. but who knows.
Or he could just try another sticky water bottle

@@KashimaxI think the ascent is quite short. today is something else
Bravo Esteban!
awesome team , well done Esteban!!!!!!!
Happy for Chavez, but such a bad luck for Vendrame today..
I dunno who the other commentator is but I wish he wouldn't keep interrupting Kelly.
Vendrame would have won 100%
That's racing
VeNdRaMe wOuLd HaVe wOn 100% - nah, Chavez might have been able to dig deeper than he did

If I was Nibali, I wouldn't have sat up with Landa and tried to stay with Lopez.
if ...
He should have attacked on the decent of Montirolo - attacking today is useless he needs more than 10 s and tmr is a bigger day for GC..
< Onya ESTEBAN......a fabuluous result. So well deserved
Disappointed in the lack of attacking in the main. What are they waiting for? The moon to bleed? Cheesus.
not steep enough
Vai Canola, Vai!
best doping of the day
Big peak on his cap don’t you think?
It matches the huge sunglasses he is forced to wear....😎😎😎
4th yes!
Grande etapa chavez foi demolidor e nao perdoou.
@eurosport, how about educating your commentators on how to pronounce Roglic?
Noo, this guy is an exception, he is allowed to mispronounce
Shaaves?

Looked like a very boring GC to me.
..
Pleas can we have some decent commentators?
It’s dire. Especially the Irish guy. Boring
Who actually is Sean/Shawn? He doesn't really sound that exciting while commentating.
he's nobody...just a regular guy..won a cycling race ot two.......en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Kelly_(cyclist)
Just the best rider in the world 7 years running. Nothing much I know. Kelly, the hard man from Clonmel.
@@miropribanic5581 He was a good cyclist, awful commentator.
Sean Kelly, the perfect example why a good rider doesn't neccessarily equal a good commentator
