Giro d'Italia 2021 Giro d'Italia, Stage 14: Cittadella – Monte Zoncolan 204 km

Yeah but no the brightest thing to do, IMHO. He is bound to patrol the bunch like Tony Martin if he continues like this.

Maybe he just wants to be on camera

Good to see Astana getting involved in dictating the pace.

 

[Samamba]

Astana saving us from another break win?

I imagine that must be one of the nicest feelings for a pro cyclist. Riding your home GT, the route passing just through your hometown, your family and friends cheering for you from the roadside.

First Trek victory of the day for Kom points.

Karsten Kroon thinks Bennett on-form is one of the 10 best climbers in the world. Did i just actually hear that or did i dream that?

He was, for maybe 1-2 weeks last year.

Either the GPS is stuck or the Astana boys are not trying hard enough.

He is not even top 20.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

He was, for maybe 1-2 weeks last year.

Or maybe 0 weeks since for ever.
Even in his own team there have always been 2 or 3 riders above him.

It's looking a bit odd isn't it? The bunch is continually pretty lined out but the time is going nowhere

 

[SafeBet]

It's not raining on Zoncolan at the moment. Very foggy in the last 5 km though.

Well, I certainly do not agree with that statement but he is far from previous years' level in this Giro. So I actually do wonder what went wrong.

Brambilla and Nibali to attack at 3km at the top of Forcella di Rest. 3 minutes in the valley then a forcing of Brambilla, Mosca and Mollema to launch Nibali to the pink.
Easy

 

[Poursuivant]

Bernal
Buchmann
Yates
Vlasov
Carthy

There are many flaws in this plan, one is that Mollema is riding for team Bauke.

This has to be just one of those social media companies talking to themselves right?

 

[BlueRoads]

Lol, was that a small dig again by Joao, with the skills, or do I have a fixation by now?

It's fine. I don't think this break is gonna go very fast on Monte Rest. Pace will only increase to the foot of Zoncolan while flat engines in the break will suffer.

 

[Rollthedice]

Ganna telling the Astana boys they're not good.

I think you have a fixation XD

It's not a plan. It's a dream

They aren't good.

Two Astana lads are going nowhere. Be interesting how hard they take up on the climb coming up or they continue with these two
