Battlelines // The 2017 Giro d'Italia Stages 5-9

[@tomcads1604]

This Giro was one of my favourites: Bob Jungels in pink and the rise of Gaviria (who I honestly thought was going to be the next untouchable sprinter for the rest of the decade) were excellent to watch

Sorry for this being so long. I'm playing my own commentator here😂 Stage 5: Such an embarrassing moment for any rider😳 L. Pibernik will remember this day for the rest of his life!! I've seen several riders make a similar mistake. This was F. Gaviria's prime years and a great sprint. Timed perfectly. He was pretty untouchable this whole season if I remember correctly Stage 6: This was M. Pedersen's coming out season. He was not the big name he is now so everyone was expecting him to work for J. Stuyven which would be the logical choice but it just wasn't meant to be on this day. The better man won!! Stage 7: It was so important to come into that final turn in the front. Personally I think F. Gaviria was in a decent spot at that final turn. He had the "WOLFPACK" on his side (the best lead out in the peloton). C. Ewan was very fast that day BUT F. Gaviria really was fastER. He gained ground on C. Ewan!! He was just a few tire widths too slow tho Stage 8: Heartbreak for V. Conti. He was just too eager and went into that hairpin too fast. G. Izagirre was the better man. His brother and him are no slouches! Stage 9: Definitely a GC day!!! I've always been a huge team SKY fan and this was an shit day for SKY. Once again, like many other times, G was in the wrong place at the wrong time and hit the ground again. He's a beast tho and he lived to fight another day!! I don't think you mentioned that he got back on his bike and finished the stage and had a great ITT the next day. T. VanGarderen was never really able to be the GC everyone in the US hoped he would be. Great battle tho. N. "Tramadolito" Quintana had a great day. Not a fan of "Tramadolito" but he had some great wins. He made it look so easy on this day. Look at his style and his face. Just another training ride for him "The battle lines are being drawn!!" (Great closeout) THANKS FOR THE TOP NOTCH CONTENT BROSKI!! KEEP UP THE QUALITY CONTENT!!! 🤘🏻🇬🇧
