Giro d'Italia 2021 Giro d'Italia, Stage 15: Grado – Gorizia 147 km

Does anybody know what is the record for breakaway stage winners in a GT? This will be the 8th in this Giro. There could be more than 10 by the end of the race.

Doesn't RAI have a Birgit who gives Instagram questions to the commentators? Birgit and Karsten would love this question. Unfortunately I'm not on Insta.

I think that even locals aren't certain whether the riders are in Italy or Slovenia at a given moment on this circuit.

Good thing they don't have to go through border control every time they cross the border.

The same reason being the big crash, I pressume. Not windy... or dark clouds. Or... Cancellara wearing yellow, for that matter.

i meant windy/d.clouds now...
than PS for the reminder

Baffi (Trek DS) to RAI: Mollema in the break? It was not our plan. He found himself there and it's ok. Hopefully he is better than yesterday...

• Anything to declare?
• Don't go to Slovenia! ... I mean Italy!

I'm not gonna miss a whole lot by focusing on Murcia for a while, am I?

Different COVID regulations in Slovenia? Lots of people without masks.

I'm already there.
In spirit.

Masks not obligatory outside anymore here. Only inside.

The Australian tradition to kick someone with a giant boot is weirdly the shape of Italy!

Mollema really wants to join team Gadret...

Honestly the amount of fans on the roads is the best thing so far in this stage, they make the final kilometres of Zonc look like a snooze fest in comparison.

On a related note, I've read that the dude who was pestering Fortunato yesterday was tackled by none other than Gilberto Simoni, who happened to be spectating nearby... not sure if it is true, but it would be a cool piece of trivia.

It's gona be breakaway win all the way to Milano?

 

[Red Rick]

Minutes to be gained by not cornering like an Ivan Bassos grandmother on those roads.

What a strange stage ? Sagan was in the breakaway, decided to drift back to protect the sprinters jersey - Yet if he stayed in the break he picks up more intermediate points and probably wins the stage for even more points.

The rain caught them all.

Weather prediction: Rain and Ciccone attack

 

[Red Rick]

GPS going full re**** again? No way peloton just closed down 4 minutes

Conti vs. Rain Jacket!

 

[titan31]

Peleton ought to just pull over to put on their jackets at this stage

 

[Red Rick]

Some major suckwheeling going on

 

[RedheadDane]

Campenaerts!

Finally Campenaerts wins a GT stage
