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

[HelloDolly]

Remember some idiot mistaken punter on here yesterday or maybe today saying Campenaerts shoudnt be in breaks throwing everything at it

 

[Red Rick]

Riesebeek with the single greatest display of tactical ineptitude I have ever seen

 

[titan31]

That was some stupid riding by Riesebeek. Went way too early

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Victor-y!

 

[SafeBet]

Campenaerts was a hero today. Don't know how many times he attacked. Final 20 km were very entertaining.

 

[Red Rick]

That was some stupid riding by Riesebeek. Went way too early

Just attack the ITTer 15 times on the flat, then sprint from 300m when he's way more aero than you and you're already dead.

 

[F_Cance]

Probably not the best DS in the car either

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Who was it that said that Campenaerts was one of the worst breakaway riders in the peloton?

Riesebeek did everything right this stage. Except for the last 300 metres. Why on earth did he start such a long sprint?

 

[Bolder]

Nice win for Campanaerts. He’s got a good engine but expends a lot of energy in generally doomed attacks, happily this one worked out.

 

[Gigs_98]

Glad Campenaerts finally got his gt stage win but boy oh boy, was that sprint by Riesenbeek stupid. Not even the director could believe he had already started his sprint

 

[F_Cance]

You really have to be tactically inept when even campenaerts rides smarter than you.

 

[IndianCyclist]

I donot know how he won. He expended a lot of energy. He looked dead a number of times

 

[sir fly]

Well, a fair outcome.
Campenaerts put in the most.
Congrats.

Riesebeek looked stronger than the line showed.

Fitting finale.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Yeah, pretty immature tactics from Reisebeek. His DS just needed to calm him down over the radio, get him to light all his matches at once instead of one at a time.

Riesebeek just thought Victor deserved the win much more (which is the fact). Respect for him as well for that

 

[jaylew]

This "new" Campenaerts is godawful. Forgets about the only ability that makes him relevant in the peloton (Top 5 / Top 10 Time triallist) in order to become a subpar classics rider and one of the weakest breakaway hunters in the pack.

This didn't age well.

 

[Red Rick]

Glad Campenaerts finally got his gt stage win but boy oh boy, was that sprint by Riesenbeek stupid. Not even the director could believe he had already started his sprint

Everyone wanting De Gendt to win a stage then Campenaerts deciding he's De Gendt-at-home

 

[BlueRoads]

Oh, Campenaerts won! When I turned off the broadcast I said "I couldn't be less interested in who wins this... unless Campenaerts wins, which he never will."
Sorry, Victor... congrats!

 

[jmdirt]

WOOHOO VC!

 

[Bonimenier]

Riesebeek looked like he could cry in the interview.

 

[Andy262]

Wow, Qhuebeka bossing the Giro.

Great to see a win for Campanaerts.

 

[Red Rick]

Riesebeek looked like he could cry in the interview.

Well it's probably the best chance he'll ever get at a GT stage.

11 of the 14 stage winners at this Giro had never won a GT stage before

Very happy for Campenaerts. He finally has his GT stage, who would've thought a few years ago it would happen on a regular road bike. Well deserved after so much fighting spirit!
