Giro d'Italia 2021 Giro d'Italia Stage 3: Biella - Canale 190 KM

[Hugo Koblet]

I'd love if he won the stage. An 18 year old winning a stage in a GT would be incredible.

It would indeed. No one at the age of 18 has ever won a GT stage. Only 3 riders under 20 years of age has won one (or more, as is the case with Henri Cornet who in 1904 won 2 Tour stages before his 20th birthday, although he was only rewarded them later after the infamous disqualifications that year), the youngest being Fabio Battesini who won a Tour stage in 1931 at the of 19 years, 4 months and 13 days if my math isn't off. Olimpio Bizzi is the last rider to have won a GT stage before the age of 20, which he did in the 1936 Giro.

At least this is what my, admittedly, very quick research tells me.

If Ewan makes the final he needs to have team-mates because there will be late attacks in this stage.

De Gendt should be there at least

Wonder if anybody apart from Albanese goes for KOM points.

Probably they will. It's not like Albanese took a load of points yesterday.

Of course, but with two riders and his ride yesterday, they're clearly on the mission.
Others not that specifically.

I'd imagine Pellaud will at least.

Bosnia (Republic of Srpska) and Serbia, mind you, Rob.

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Ponomar seems to have grown and matured quite a bit the last year and a half.

Pellaud collecting intermediate points.
Ponomar eyeing KOM possibly.

That "powered by Eolo.it" reminds me of the advertising for a sister company to powergenuk and powergenfrance: powergenitalia.

"Step aside Remco. You're old."

"Andrii, don't be ridiculous."

 

[sir fly]

Cannelloni?

"Andrii, don't be ridiculous."

Now you're being ridiculous... talking to yourself

[sir fly]

Sparkling wine countrysides are lovely.

More alike French equivalent than yesterday's valley.

Poor math skills could explain why he has finsihed second and third so many times.

 

[sir fly]

They gave him some run for his money...

 

[titan31]

Very good there by Albanese. Should get the next two now you'd imagine.

 

[Panda Claws]

Ewan not looking good imo. First complaining about his lead-out and now having difficulties early in the race.

Is he dropped or hanging around at the back?
