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

[Panda Claws]

Ask the pros ..it all adds up

You do it lmao. You are the one claiming that it is an important effort.

 

[SafeBet]

Does anyone truly believe a 30 seconds anaerobic effort can make some of the best athletes in the world crack in the third week?

 

[BlueRoads]

If you think it was cool to see GC guys sprinting there just wait until you see Buchmann leading out Sagan soon...

 

[houtdffan]

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

If he could ever improve his sprint, with his top end speed, he could steal some bonus seconds at the end of stages. His top end speed alone would make him dangerous

No. It's just joking around on a relatively boring sprint stage.

You are watching pros do it, it having been planned out by their pro DS's......

 

[Bonimenier]

Honoré and Sagan making a complot for echelons?

 

[Big Doopie]

Reminds me of the 1974 TDF where merckx competed for every bonus with sprinters Karstens and Sercu. almost 3 minutes of his 8+ min win over PouPou was bonuses!!!

It was a rhetorical statement ??

I am not claiming anything ...every pro says that the best thing is to stay in the peloton and save energy when riding GC
'the final week is very hard

hey but you seem to be the one that has a problem with it....

 

[BlueRoads]

Now that Remco saw it's possible to ride Egan off his wheel like that I'm expecting him to attack in the final as well.

 

[postmanhat]

Anyone else got a feeling that the one thing guaranteed not to happen today is a Sagan win ?

this.

for future stages, perhaps.

remco does not really burst away. he simply wears you off his wheel and dare you to TT against him.

confidence boost.

the difficulty will be isolating bernal from teammates -- tough.

bernal still the strongest considering the route.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Are there bonis at the finish, I want to see the sequel.

 

[Vasilis]

It's kinda crazy to realise that the current top 6 of the GC are all 26 or younger and the complete podium qualifies for the white jersey... Formolo in 10th is actually old at 28.

Don't say it loud..

 

[tobydawq]

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

It still wouldn't have mattered....... Logic...

 

[Broccolidwarf]

He can't ride off the front, with at least 3 sprint trains going full gas.

 

[Red Rick]

Came from way behind too to catch up to and overtake Bernal.

Just more proof that Evenepoel does have punch but he just doesn't tolerate any gradient over 8%

 

[tobydawq]

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

When he exploded, not dropped. He (V) obviously must have passed him before he (N) was dropped.

 

[limak_]

Bernal as a part of Bora train?

Ask the pros ..it all adds up

I mostly agree, but then seconds add up too. I don't really understand why the DS's of Astana, ISN, etc. don't at least send one of their fast-ish guys up the road to pick up the seconds if they know Bernal or Remco are going for it. They must have one guy in their team faster than Narvaez.

bernal has the team of Ganna, Moscon etc to chase anyone down ....its not just one man and attacking among the sprint team who will chase him down anyway ???????

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Ask the pros ..it all adds up

You can be sure, this hurt Bernal more than Evenepoel.

 

[Eclipse]

Now that Remco saw it's possible to ride Egan off his wheel like that I'm expecting him to attack in the final as well.

Don't think he'll do anything, it worked because Ineos went too early to overpower QS and then left Bernal a bit on his own. They'll just tuck him behind the big engines if they need to chase and it's a different story.

Not quite sure how that pertains to what I wrote?
