Giro d'Italia 2022 Giro d'Italia, Stage 13: Sanremo – Cuneo 150 km (Friday, May 20th)

Doesn't look like anybody will try to join on the climb.
Sprinters' day it seems.

Shortish leash.

Maybe a stupid question, but here goes: I noticed there are 3.5 and 3.8 stretches in the final 2KMs of roughly 500 and 180 meters. Would that entice MVP to participate in a sprint, or jump the sprinters early?

Weak break, no?

Weak week

That's too mild.
Even more so in the lead-out zone.

Wiggins said Valverde is 62 years old, and then pointed to "David" Carapaz.

Would have thought it likely that a second breakaway group forms on this long climb. The question is still how far behind the sprinters are at the top of it.

Bardet is not feeling well, he's receiving help from the race doctor. and chose to abandon the race. According to Rai, he is conscious, but apparently he was pale and had some stomach problems.

He's probably sick... of these weak breakaways.

 

[Laplaz]

Bardet DNF

 

[Lequack]

Oh for crying out loud!

 

[will-10]

Abandon Bardet. Such a shame

 

[SafeBet]

Apparently he's having stomach problems. He's been seated on the ground for a few minutes, assisted by the race doctor.

 

[Zoophonic]

That's a massive blow to the race. Bardet was looking really good.

 

[Eclipse]

That is horrendous luck for Bardet wow

 

[MartinGT]

Nooooooooooo

 

[MrTea1976]

That sucks.

 

[SafeBet]

Official now, he was in the team car. Very sad news for the race.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Tour maybe?

 

[JosefK]

This Giro just lost some luster. Bardet looked fantastic (till now).

 

[perico]

Huh.... that sucks for Bardet.

 

[Alexandre B.]

I hate cycling.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Wiggins said Valverde is 62 years old, and then pointed to "David" Carapaz.

Wiggins also missed Bardet.

 

[noob]

Noooooo

 

[Ricco']

Oh no Bardet!

I'm getting some voodoo vibes building up.

 

[groogster]

Bardet out!!
