Giro d'Italia 2021 Giro d'Italia, Stage 13: Ravenna – Verona 198 km

[Bonimenier]

The last exciting sprintstage in this year's Giro

Stage 13: Ravenna – Verona 198 km

Friday, May 21st, 12.25 CEST

Technical Overview:

The last chance for the sprinters is a 198 km long stage traversing the Po Valley from the Adriatic coast in Ravenna to the foot of the Alps in Verona. The stage is dedicated to the great Dante Alighieri (who lived in exile in Verona and died exactly 700 years ago in Ravenna), although it is kind of laughable to do so without a stage start/finish in Florence, only briefly touched yesterday.



Final Kilometers

What to expect:

Mass sprint. The last one. All sprinters to go home unless they have the Ciclamino jersey and want to keep it.

Arena di Verona

Still full of Adrenaline from todays stage, just looking at that profile makes me depressed.

 

[RedheadDane]

Voted the last option. Not because I don't think it'll be one of the guys mentioned who wins, but because I can't think of any other sprinter. Though, I'm actually not sorry about that. Why would I be sorry about that?

You can only pick that option if you are actually sorry about it.

Why would you get excited in advance, people?

Too late, I picked it. Deal with it!

Complaint: why can't I vote Bahrain?

Fair point

By the way I once visited that region, Ravenna and Ferrara, and was pretty disappointed, probably due to my high expectations. Visited Verona another time and it was very nice. I think I will use this day to work and only turn on the pictures when they are close to Verona.

 

[AlfaLum]

Remco gonna get another knock-out here.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I think we should be allowed to pick two gentlemen of Verona.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Any chance of wind tomorrow or a bit of gravel?

 

[Escarabajo]

Invisible stage except for the last 5 km. Hope that nobody crashes!!!

I thought there was a rule of creating 2 threads in advance. Did someone make RedheadDane mad?

Unofficial rest day for GC guys here.

 

[Bolder]

Verona is a great city to visit, just avoid Juliet's "balcony." only guarantee is Nizzolo will be second.

 

[Rollthedice]

Anxiously waiting for Saturday's stage thread.

Make it.

 

[Rollthedice]

Make it.

I'm terrified by the Zonc.

 

[Vesica]

Carlos should have been an poll option.

 

[BlueRoads]

Voted Groenewegen, but I hope Nizzolo, Gaviria or Viviani.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Possibly the final non-TT stage that the breakaway doesn't win. And it's going to be a non-event.

 

[will-10]

Giacomo, please.

 

[Volderke]

I feel Remco should try here. If he really is a poor climber, then this is the terrain where he has already shown to be superior to Bernal.

 

[Velolover2]

Is Groenewegen allowed to win (yet) ?

 

[Andy262]

Giacomo Nizzolo, it's tomorrow or never....
