Giro d'Italia 2022 Giro d'Italia, Stage 10: Pescara – Jesi 196 km (Tuesday, May 17th)

[Zinoviev Letter]

Doesn't mean that Van der Poel's tactics weren't stupid

I agree, I’ve no idea what he was playing at. Attacking late with little climbers who were never going to work with him, then sitting up because they inevitably wouldn’t work with him, then starting to push again. Inexplicable.

After being the first guy from the 2000s to win a pro race is Bini also the first millennial to win a GT stage? I think it is.

Remco was born in 2000 and won several Pro and UWT races but of course no GT stage.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Very happy for Girmay, he's been getting so close to winning a stage and at last he's done it!

Also, for some reason I'm being reminded of Tiger Woods back when he was the only black player at the Masters, hopefully we'll be seeing more African (or black riders in general) soon.

 

[Samamba]

Ewan is in a little over 31 minutes behind the winner. I think (not sure?) that's just inside the time limit. Even Kluge left him in the end (probably not risking being OTL himself). I don't see how he could be fit and this bad at the same time. Either that crash hurt him more than he thought or he's ill or something.

Was there anyone else back then who was (half) Asian?

Vijay Singh

Who will have bigger spoils this Giro, Girmay or VdP?

I would have to look it up because Augusta was very picky even back when Tiger first played there, they didn't even allow women till 2012!

Praying now for Biniam that this prosecco cork incident did not cause any serious damage to his eye… Fingers crossed.

Wow, that‘s bitter. I was extremely happy about the stage win, and then something like this happens…

Vijay Singh

A star in his own right.

 

[Netserk]

Vijay Singh

Would he be considered black too in an American context, or primarily as Pacific Islander? Seems on par with Woods for diversity.

 

[Red Rick]

Bad sportsmanship from Van der Poel to leave the gap so Girmay doesn't get 2s in GC.

Wtf, this isn't a joke? Getting injured while uncorking the champagne?

Pozzovivo showing all those divas that you can be riding for the gc while helping your teammate winning a stage at the same time.

Screw whatever Pogacar does at the Tour winning a sprint after a Pozzovivo leadout must be the most impressive achievement in cycling this year.

I don’t recall them referencing him that way
(As black). But would have been interesting if he had come on the scene before Woods rather than shortly after.

 

[Bonimenier]

Even when uncorking a bottle he follows MvdP's footsteps

Did MVDP try to blind himself with a cork too?

Sadly, it seems to be no joke… Hoping for the best…

He tried to on stage 1

I'm not American, but I can't imagine how people who look like Vijay Singh, and with that name, will be referenced as black/African, or even Pacific Islanders (except for those who're familiar with Fiji ethnics make up)

The thing is that it wasn't even a half bad leadout, it was good!

"Oxford Living Dictionaries describes a millennial as "a person reaching young adulthood in the early 21st century." Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines millennial as "a person born in the 1980s or 1990s.""
