Je zult nu maar de vader of moeder van Del Toro zijn en je dan moeten afvragen waar de kloten van je zoon zijn gebleven #GirodItalia

Carapaz not riding is absolutely right. A winner races to win the race. His only chance to win the race is dropping a tired Del Toro on Sestriere. Is up to Del Toro to defend the jersey, not to Carapaz #GirodItalia

Là pour le coup, question d’égo ou de rivalité, j’ai pas compris la décision de UAE et Del Toro. Je reste persuadé qu’il avait la capacité de le gagner ce Giro !

You can point at all sorts of tactical mistakes, from letting Wout in the break with no UAE onwards, but the true sin is not fighting for it at all. Pathetic call.

Dan mis je toch zo’n @maduc, die ditmaal zeer terecht zou zeggen:”Dit heb ik nog nooit gezien.” #GirodItalia

I think UAE didn't value Yates chance of finestre, otherwise in a stage like this you should have never allowed a satellite rider into the breakaway. That's a big mistake. #GirodItalia
