Giro d'Italia 2021 Giro d'Italia, Stage 8: Foggia – Guardia Sanframondi 170 km

[RedheadDane]

I... think this might be the break.

 

[dampframme]

German ES said Ewan's abandon is crash related

 

[movingtarget]

Most likely it's crash related, communication came from the race doc.
Or maybe was suffering already previously.

Yes its been confirmed that a crash is responsible for the DNF.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Now i'd like to see some power data of Campenaerts compared to one of the leaders.

 

[sir fly]

"Fe Gaviria..."?
Che Guevara

 

[Lequack]

Bahrain will pull the break back, the have no one in the front.

 

[titan31]

I feel so bad for Campanaerts. That is painful looking

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Live data my ass.

 

[Climbing]

Ewan abandon is not crash related, he lost contact previously and gave up.

 

[Samamba]

Impressive from Campenaerts.

 

[Lequack]

He caught the by using just 140W of power according to data.

 

[Eclipse]

Campenaerts making a heroic effort - He is going to be so pissed if the bunch brings this back

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Such a meh breakaway after all that action, much more so than two days back.

 

[Bonimenier]

Impressive by Campenaerts, but that must have cost a lot of energy.

 

[Samamba]

Ewan abandon is not crash related, he lost contact previously and gave up.

Initial plan was to leave after mondays stage, but he probably realized there is no way he survives that stage anyways.

 

[Lequack]

Ewan abandon is not crash related, he lost contact previously and gave up.

Well he said he was going to abandon. An he did.
But it must not be the best look for the Giro organisers to have a leading sprinter go out so he can prepare for the Tour instead. Imagine Remco or Benal getting the leaders jersey and a stage win and then abandon cause they need to prepare for the Tour.

 

[Red Rick]

Ewan abandon is not crash related, he lost contact previously and gave up.

So it's completely planned

 

[Faserr]

Leaving after seven stages really sucks. They should give one of his wins to Nizzolo

 

[Eclipse]

Alright we're settled!

Great stuff though

 

[Keram]

Leaving after seven stages really sucks. They should give one of his wins to Nizzolo

And in ciclamino too. Really lame.

 

[sir fly]

Such a meh breakaway after all that action, much more so than two days back.

I can see another wave of stage hunter later on.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Vervaeke crashed in the tunnel with some other guys, he hurt his hand but is still in the race. Don't know if he's back in the peloton.

 

[Oliver]

Weird brake.. GC action today!

 

[RedheadDane]

Good thing Ewan didn't crash, and had potentially been hurt, that would've sucked!

Just imagine if the coverage had only started now; casual viewers would think it was just an ordinary day, with a break getting away.

 

[Climbing]

So it's completely planned

Certainly planned, probably slightly anticipated.
