Giro d'Italia 2021 Giro d'Italia, Stage 12: Siena – Bagno di Romagna 212 km

Why Masnada abandon????? I cannot believe this

Couldn't cope with the leadership pressure

 

[Poursuivant]

Yesterday is taking it's toll.

Definitely, that final climb could be interesting for the GC

Probably the opposite, if he was leader he would be a true commander leading the team. Likely he abandons because he is fed up of fetching bottles for Belgian Simon Spilak and Portuguese Haimar Zubeldia, hopefully he leaves Lefevre this year and goes to a team that values him.

 

[Eclipse]

Surprised they're not really letting the break off the leash here.

Hey, Spilak was good on the cobbles!

 

[Faserr]

Ineos is riding harder then yesterday.

Almeida doesn't deserve to be compaired to Zubeldia. The man's got no ninja abilities whatsoever.

"Dan Martin says that it wasn't worth taking the risks needed to stay with the front group on the gravel of stage 11 in the Giro d'Italia 2021. "

Dan Martin says 'cycling is not worth the risk' after losing six minutes to Egan Bernal on gravel of Giro d'Italia 2021

The Irishman didn't want to take the risk with riders crashing all around him on the first section of gravel

Walls of people up the climb. Cycling feels like cycling again <3

 

[topcat]

Caruso has ninja'ed his way into 3rd position. Now he'll probably ninja back to about 7th later. He just appears at the end of each stage.

Pathetic

 

[Mayomaniac]

Big crowd, but nearly all the fans are respectful and try to keep their distance.

 

[spalco]

Hey, Spilak was good on the cobbles!

And Almeida will be lucky to reach Zubeldia's stage race record, he finished 20something (eta looked it up) 26 GTs in 29 starts in a 17 19 year career - that's very respectable.

 

[Red Rick]

Pathetic

Today is a descent finish, it's probably worth complaining about again

 

[Mayomaniac]

Walls of people up the climb. Cycling feels like cycling again <3

Yet you aren't allowed to ride your bike on the Zoncolan on the day that the stage is happening...

 

[Red Rick]

Live, on screen gradients are always so bad lol

 

[broppo]

Pathetic

yeah truly pathetic, why would you ever hire such a guy, he should retire and find another safe sport!

Sounds like he has lost his nerve. He's been in and witnessed some bad crashes over the last half decade. Maybe that's it for him high in GCs

 

[Ricco']

Pathetic

Give him a break. The guy must have some PTSD from all the risks he had to avoid to be near the top-100 of the bunch on his multiple run-ups to Mur de Huy.

 

[Mayomaniac]

If Ganna was French we would probably see Tour de France route with +100km of ITT and a 50km TTT...

That's why I'm disappointed we didn't see more TT kms from this year's Giro

 

[Skalman]

Masnada abandoned due to inflammation in his knee apparently

 

[Eclipse]

Backing off again in the bunch at last so a bit more hope for the break

Pretty sure I could just watch helicopter footage of the landscape all day

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Probably the opposite, if he was leader he would be a true commander leading the team. Likely he abandons because he is fed up of fetching bottles for Belgian Simon Spilak and Portuguese Haimar Zubeldia, hopefully he leaves Lefevre this year and goes to a team that values him.

If it means we are spared from comments like these, we can only hope.
