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

[Eclipse]

Or a certain GC guy who is well liked on here and has a talent for descents has a proper race downhill

I was about to make a joke about Bardet and being a GC guy but then realised he's got 30seconds on Vincenzo

I am excited for the descending across the race though (not necessarily today as I still think we'll be in the more risk averse stages of things), we have numerous riders who are not exactly good at it while there are some pockets of real talent here that could really cause some chaos.

Break today but certain teams are not allowing certain helpers in the break
Ineos and DSM are 2



Thomas de Gendt will be there as will; Mollema, Ullisi, de Marchi, Conti

 

[Eclipse]

This long heli shot of the break formation has been great

lmao Bernal attacked and got in the group

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Bernal mister popular in the break, lol

 

[Tim Cahill]

Got a lot of time for Bernal, always looks up for a race, but the guys in the break wont be too pleased

 

[Faserr]

Wind looks strong. After 13km change of direction. Should be more wind frome the right.

 

[Eclipse]

Absolutely massive split now

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Valter getting De Marchi'd.

 

[Salvarani]

A few GC guys has surely missed the first group?

Oh man... I'm raging. I will open a twitter account and tell ES to *** themselves...
It's pobably not Birgit. It's her role.
Great moment to now talk about everything but what's happening right now.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Goddammit, can't watch yet !

They didn't persist in the front group, so peloton back together.

 

[Salvarani]

All together again.

 

[Rollthedice]

[Velolover2]

Interesting start of what looks like the definition of a breakaway stage.

 

[Rollthedice]

Unexpectedly exciting start to the day <3

Apart from the obvious flat stages snooze fest this Giro is not disappointing.

Gigs, please stay away from TV/notebook/cel....

Isn't Mohoric wasted in that situation?
