Giro d'Italia 2022 Giro d'Italia, Stage 11: Santarcangelo di Romagna – Reggio Emilia 203 km (Wednesday, May 18th)

Almost all their bigger names have underwhelmed though. The only reason that they aren't relegated already is De Lie having an improbably fast breakthrough. Having a 19-year-old as your best rider of the first half of the season just isn't sustainable.
It's not sustainable because he's already 20 and will turn 21 next year and grow even stronger!

Jokes aside, it's been discussed in the Lotto thread. I think they should target small stageraces with multiple riders who can get high GC placings (Van Gils, Cras, Kron, Moniquet...). There are plenty of 2.pro or 2.1 races where they could have put 2 or 3 guys in the top 10 and score up to 300 points in 4 days. But the team is betting the house on 1 day races with De Lie.

lol, i was thinking ''impossible that Bol wins'' but it turns out it's Dainese.
Hahaha, same thought.

Bit of a chaotic sprint, plenty started way to early, great line by Dainese.

Also impressive how long De Bondt held on. Teams definitely weren't completely chilling these last 15km, couple of GC teams were reasonably drilling it before the 3km banner but he only got caught later.
