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

[Rollthedice]

Peloton tried to block the road and let the three in front get away but no luck, the fight for a massive break continues.

Ganna is policing the breaks.

Where's Groenewegen when you need him

Only thing that is missing is a shout out to the . thread.

Don't you see that . next to the T in To?

Maybe the GC guys should take a couple of teammates each and form the breakaway.
That would settle down the things.

Don't think it'll do too much, pace is high because there's a chance of catching people out as much as for the break itself.

Reckon we'll settle as we start climbing and the wind risk fades

Isn't that one of RedheadDane's commas?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

You know you're in southern Italy when unfinished roadworks appear on the route.

You saved my day!

 

[Mayomaniac]

Imagine the various teamcars insulting eachother because nobody wants to let the breakaway go.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Did Rob Hatch just say Astana-Premier Trek? That's definitely not the right pronunciation!

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Has Froome been dropped yet?

 

[Rollthedice]

Still total chaos on the road.

 

[Eclipse]

Can't believe nothing has gone here :O

What a hard day. Possible that the intermediate points incentivise sprint teams to try keep it together now too?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That's the first uncategorised climb done and dusted, will be harder for the better climbers to make it now.

 

[Netserk]

Talk about getting the most bang (attrition) for the buck (vertical gain).

How does an echelon form in a tunnel?

 

[RedheadDane]

This is one of the reasons I like full race coverage!

How does an echelon form in a tunnel?

Giant fans...?

 

[Eclipse]

Attacks in the tunnel? This day has everything so far.

Got to think there's going to be people trying to get across though with only 3 out there and that's liable to shut this down too

 

[EliseeReclus]

How does an echelon form in a tunnel?

Apparently through a crash rather than the wind blowing

 

[Climbing]

There has been a crash in the tunnel, hence the split.

How does an echelon form in a tunnel?

Someone lets the wind...

 

[Red Rick]

Imagine the various teamcars insulting eachother because nobody wants to let the breakaway go.

Imagine cycling viewership if they let you listen to the communications like in F1.
