Giro d'Italia 2022 Giro d'Italia, Stage 12: Parma – Genova 204 km (Thursday, May 19th)

How much will attackers need on MVdP and Riesebeek?
They'll need to take off early on the climb anyway.

 

[spalco]

Looking great for Rota. Oldani maybe if he has his Etna legs.

Yeah, it was a surprisingly useful attack, I didn't expect that. Anyone who wants a piece probably has to go ASAP.

 

[Samamba]

If guys like Kelderman and Hamilton have good legs they can definitely close down 40 seconds.

Depends entirely on the degree of cohesion in both the front group and the chase group, almost half an hour's worth of flat is a lot.

 

[glassmoon]

VdP doesn't have to drop anyone at the end unless he fucks up majorly, he just needs to get there.

well... he *** up many times in the past so...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Sobrero should just ride full gas until the bottom of the final climb, what they are doing now is pointless.

 

[Samamba]

Well a minute is a lot tho. No idea why Sobrero isn't trying to just ride for Hamilton.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The chase is barely getting closer at all, winner should be up front if the GPS is to be believed. Pretty silly to just give this group a minute in such a short space of time.

 

[Red Rick]

Winning attack going before the final climb here is just lolstandard these days

 

[Didinho]

Oldani should stop working, really good chance for stage victory here

 

[Samamba]

BEX tactics were special today.

 

[Netserk]

Maybe Van der Poel would be fresher now if he didn't chase his teammate earlier.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Mathieu dropped by everyone and their momma.

This race should have been the one to pull them away from the relegation zone, instead it's eating into their buffer and when you ride like this it's entirely on them.

 

[Didinho]

Mathieu will take the KOM on the descent

 

[Devil's Elbow]

GPS is miles off, that's nowhere near 44 seconds.

 

[Red Rick]

Thats a wrap Kelderman will win the sprint of the chase now

 

[shalgo]

I hand-timed them at 38 seconds at the summit.

 

[noob]

Cmon Wilco!

 

[sir fly]

The chasing quartet is more than solid on the flat.
Should be capable to catch leaders.

another 40s to Vendrame, Denz and so on. MvdP, Albanese, Consonni even further behind. Normally the winner should come from those 3 in front

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

If that breaks stays clear, Oldani should win this in his sleep, right? Or has he lost all his sprinting abilities when he became a climber?

should have lost some, normally, and Rota is quick as well

 

[Netserk]

My proverbial money is on Rota. A shame though that Taaramäe is so far back.

 

[spalco]

The peloton is losing a bit of ground. Keldermann could make up a good amount of ground after all.
