Giro d'Italia 2022 Giro d'Italia, Stage 15: Rivarolo Canavese – Cogne 177 km (Sunday, May 22nd)

The pace is so slow that Nibali has 2 teammates with him. Holding my hands up. I was wrong about today. That's a first. But it's ok. We had a wonderful stage yesterday and it will be a great week 3.

This is an awesome stage. Ciccone is going to win. I like him a lot.

 

[Brullnux]

All the more reason to attack IF you have good legs though, knowing that there is a greater chance that your rivals are tired.

I think it's possible nobody has much left.

Ciccone riding himself right into the KOM competition, which feels more like his natural terrain. And probably into the top 16 in GC.

 

[Cagalitroso]

Well, today's stage happened.

The rumors of the revival of this Giro were greatly exaggerated.

Gotta thank Bora for the only good stage, out of 15. I blame the lack of Slovenians. FFS Tratnik, this is on you.

 

[StryderHells]

That was fun

 

[Brullnux]

It's a shame but everyone is very close together and also exhausted; this stage needed people to have the legs/desire to attack from range and create gaps. With how the stage started it limited what could happen on the climbs, I think.

One of the longest victory celebrations I've seen.

 

[Izzyeviel]

That nearly ended in disaster... someone decided to throw their sunglasses at him as he crossed the line

Forza Ciccone

Has had a tough couple of years on and and off the bike.

Can any of the Italians here tell me what is going on with the cameras at the Giro??? This is the worst I have seen in any race!!!!

They can still go if they have the minerals

Happy for Giulio Ciccone. A great rider. Who likes to race. The only positive thing about this stage

 

[Velolover2]

Hindley to be sprinting for 11th.

 

[KZD]

This climb would have worked better as a MTT.

Surely but race organisers seem to hate MTTs nowadays

Just needed some Fausto

 

[Salvarani]

Maybe Ciccone could make the KOM jersey a target for the 3rd week.

What on Earth would you prefer to watch today?!

 

[Red Rick]

Lmao lets go to Hugh Carthy interview instead of GC group

Martin ❤️

This is an awesome stage. Ciccone is going to win. I like him a lot.

I like him, too, and this victory is certainly nice and everything, but I don‘t understand why he is celebrating like a madman there…

After all, tifosi‘s expectations in him have been much bigger, in the past, and also before this Giro. We know he can win stages there, but everyone expected and expects him to do good results in the final GC.

He probably won‘t reach Top-10 in this Giro, so that‘s a bit disappointing…

I LOVE it! Go TAKE a win!

Aleksandr Foliforov dislikes this

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Just needed some Fausto

Fausto is currently at altitude training with Bagiolo, Cattaneo and Badilatti in Livigno. He is likely to return to racing in June.!

 

[Red Rick]

Was that Hindley?
