Cooked G18-91
All of the effort, all of the kilometers, all of the climbs, and all of the attacking yesterday seemed to have finally caught up with Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ). On the way up the Col Saint Pantaleon the Frenchman seemed to hit a wall. He was cooked. One of his teammates got him a bottle from the team car, passed it over, Pinot simply passed it back to the car. He knew his Giro had ended and he wasn't going to be on the podium after all. He was escorted through the rest of the stage by Sebastien Reichenbach, Jeremy Roy and Steve Morabito. Pinot had fought hard for the complete race but sometimes the body says enough is enough.
