Giro d'Italia 2022 Giro d'Italia, Stage 14: Santena – Torino 147 km (Saturday, May 21st)

Peloton's hardly sitting up yet though. The gap is hovering around 35" now...

Doubt that break will get much rope so be interesting if anyone tries to bridge across on the climbs

 

[Red Rick]

First Superga should be fun.

 

[Netserk]

Perfect group for Rosa.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Gap going up now.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Carapaz doesn't have that much over the other favourites in terms of pure watts on big climbs, racecraft is his strength but it just looks like Ineos are doing the Froome train instead of playing to it.

 

[Eclipse]

Surely BEX are going to try something? Can't just anonymously ride in again right?

 

[JosefK]

Lopez keeps the Maglia Rosa at day's end?

 

[Breh]

This is it.

Is Dombrowski Liberian? Or Puerto Rican?

But the flag actually looks like a Liberia - Puerto Rico crossover.

Carapaz doesn't have that much over the other favourites in terms of pure watts on big climbs, racecraft is his strength but it just looks like Ineos are doing the Froome train instead of playing to it.

The problem for Carapaz is that he's most effective when everyone's more worried about someone else (obviously not applicable to Pog and Rog who are just too strong for him). I think he'll have to continue to be conservative as the clear favourite.

 

[Eclipse]

I don't really think Carapaz will be conservative tbh, I think one of his big strengths is his ability to do repeated days of attacking even if he doesn't have the mega watts of the monsters and I'd not be surprised to see him just try keep everyone under pressure until the end.

BORA train! :O

 

[Samamba]

Bora planning something

 

[Netserk]

Good move Bora. Kämna or Buchmann should bridge across on Superga.

 

[Sestriere]

Kelderman raid incoming?

 

[search]

Good move Bora. Kämna or Buchmann should bridge across on Superga.

I think Buchmann is most likely. Such a move only makes sense if you want to cause real GC danger

 

[Netserk]

Breaking up a bit on the descent?

 

[Eclipse]

I think Buchmann is most likely. Such a move only makes sense if you want to cause real GC danger

Kelderman still possible I think, it's the kind of move that might get leeway if everyone else is already tired after a hard start and without being properly close on GC, but would then mean they have 3 riders in really close contention.

HOLY BEJSUS!

BORA murdered them

 

[Netserk]

I think Buchmann is most likely. Such a move only makes sense if you want to cause real GC danger

Agreed. Maybe both.

 

[Sestriere]

Carnage on the descent

 

[Netserk]

Some real damage done. If one of the main contenders have missed out, they will just keep the pace steadily super high.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Fantastic to see Bora agressive!

 

[RedheadDane]

This is interesting.

 

[titan31]

I don't think Lopez was there

 

[Red Rick]

Imagine getting dropped on a descent while Kelderman is still there

 

[JosefK]

The race is being raced.
