Giro d'Italia 2021 Giro d'Italia, Stage 10: L’Aquila – Foligno 139 km

[skippo12]

If one of them fades in the 3rd week I will blame todays sprint.

 

[Escarabajo]

Are these trying to get to Milan with some energy???
Wait until they ride Stage 16!!!! Lol

 

[dercuforever]

That was really funny and really impressive.

 

[Eclipse]

Poor Nizzolo.

I highly recommend a visit to Spoleto, BTW.

What's the main selling point B?

We did Tuscany with dips into Emilia Romagna / Liguria a while back and are hoping we do Lombardy / Trento / Veneto later this year so a trip further south will be next on the list, just need to work out whether to venture North from Rome and around or go south instead

That sprint was absolutely hilarious

Really impressed by Aleotti this last days, he is 21.

He was a beast in the u23 ranks, but I was thinking that it was a bit early to already have him ride the Giro.
He could become a contender in the hard hilly one day races like LBL, Emilia and Lombardia.

Narváez, just stop sprinting there. You can only do damage. Remco 3 seconds, Bernal 2 seconds is equal to Remco 2 seconds, Bernal 1 second but not if you sandwich them.

But cool stuff, nonetheless.

It's even better because Bernal takes another second on the other competitors.

 

[Volderke]

Hilarious sprint for the bonus seconds!
Already the best fight of the day!

 

[HelloDolly]

yes i think Vlasov, Yates and other will love it alot

 

[tobydawq]

To be fair, I'm pretty sure that Viviani was further behind than Nizzolo, when the latter was dropped, so Viviani must have made it back somehow. It's not unreasonable to believe that Viviani was dropped in that situation in my opinion. Also, the way the coverage of the Giro has been so far I wouldn't trust the producers to focus on even Bernal if he was dropped.

No, of course he was not behind when Nizzolo was dropped... He was behind Nizzolo when they first filmed the latter, but then evidently his elastic snapped and next time they filmed him he had been dropped but Viviani had still kept his place in the back of the bunch.

 

[Panda Claws]

I like the boni seconds only sprints if only because we get to see GC riders sprint lol.

 

[will-10]

Not sure that si a wise tactic by QS

These seconds will mean nothing at the end but the energy loss may

On a flat stage with a rest day tomorrow?

Just ride 5km less tomorrow.

lol. bernal put out just as much energy.

if remco loses the giro, it won't be because of this one sprint before the rest day.

it will simply be because other riders are stronger and he isn't back to 2020 shape yet.

 

[Panda Claws]

yes i think Vlasov, Yates and other will love it alot

This is really not that big of an effort.

 

[jarvo]

for what could of been a dull stage the last 50km of this stage will end up being a great watch

 

[spalco]

Does that make sense?

Nope, but it's entertaining.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Yeah, if one or both of them blow up in the 3rd week people will make fun of this kind of stuff.

Narvaez couldn't predict Almeida would give Bernal a free pass.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

No, of course he was not behind when Nizzolo was dropped... He was behind Nizzolo when they first filmed the latter, but then evidently his elastic snapped and next time they filmed him he had been dropped but Viviani had still kept his place in the back of the bunch.

So basically he was behind Nizzolo, when he was dropped.

Bernal also had to burn energy, on terrain that is less favorable to him

Ask the pros ..it all adds up

I think Remco would secretely like to be a sprinter. I bet he had a Tom Boonen poster in his bedroom at home.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Sagan lacking top bunch sprinter speed but in possession of a very committed team adds a great deal of entertainment to GTs these days. Many of the least promising stages get enlivened and made a lot tougher by Bora versus the sprinters

 

[Big Doopie]

kinda like how he simply powered bernal off his wheel too. gives us remco fans some hope at least.

 

[Bonimenier]

I'm sure they'll ask Bernal and Evenepoel, pros in my book, about it after the stage and their answer will be the same
