Giro d'Italia 2021 Giro d'Italia, Stage 6: Grotte di Frasassi – Ascoli Piceno (S.Giacomo) 160 km

[Bonimenier]

Doesn't look like Vlasov. Would also be the slowest wheel change ever he was still standing there.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Mäder himself is also a great descender, they are going all in for a potential stage win, even if the chances are really slim atm.

It might have been better to let Mohoric do his own descent and then Mader gets a free ride. As it is they haven't really gained anything from that descent

who else would have a teammate stop though?

You're welcome to try changing a wheel with disc brakes and wet (possibly frozen) fingers.

Vlasov is still in the Bernal group

They were still busy taking the wheel off. Even with disc brakes and wet fingers that doesn't take over 2 mins.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

also why is a teammate of a favourite attacking with another favourite? Bettiol, Carthy and Bardet?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Ciccone showing us that he picked up a thing or 2 when riding with Pirazzi, he just has to attack.

 

[SafeBet]

Bit of a suicide move for Bardet and Ciccone, there are 30 kms in the valley before the final climb.

 

[Rollthedice]

I fear for Nibbles here

He'll be fresh as a daisy on the last climb.

 

[Climbing]

There's too much false flat, it's a suicide.

 

[spalco]

Where is remco in the front group, i can't spot him?

 

[Volderke]

Ciccone skipping turns?

 

[Anybody_but..]

Ganna is a monster. MVP of the peloton.

Was going to write the same. Isn't it just wasting your energy before the last climb, where whole Ineos pulling at the back...

 

[HelloDolly]

Nice by Betiol , Ciccone and Bardet

 

[HelloDolly]

But Ganna and Moscon and co will make mincemeat of them

 

[Volderke]

Ganna drilling it.

 

[Rollthedice]

There's too much false flat, it's a suicide.

Ciccone's madness is contagious, I feel sorry for Bardet.

 

[Bonimenier]

Ciccone skipping turns?

He does have a teammate in the front who probably is the best climber of the break.

 

[Ktarie]

Where is remco in the front group, i can't spot him?

He is near Ineos most of the time wearing a grey jacket, I guess

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Where is remco in the front group, i can't spot him?

They are wearing dark rain jackets with dark grey thermal vests over those. White helmets.

 

[Breh]

I'm just glad they didn't invite Gazprom so Zakarin did not have to descend here.

 

[Volderke]

He does have a teammate in the front who probably is the best climber of the break.

I feel Trek has a better chance if they can join the front group. Bardet is a danger, but the peloton is pushing hard. Probably Ciccone is saving his legs when the peloton comes back.

 

[glassmoon]

How was de Marchi dropped? Did he make a mistake or just wasn't good enough to stay with the favourites?
