Giro d'Italia 2022 Giro d'Italia, Stage 16: Salò – Aprica 202 km (Tuesday, May 24th)

Same goes for Rota. Weird that they are just hanging on there.

for Wanty it's not that bad, I think. This way he may be able to help Hirt after the Mortirolo instead. Also for Bora it's alright, if they are up there to help their leaders later on

A lot can happen on a 7.5%, 13 km climb.

Getting in front could turn out to be a big mistake and a lot of wasted energy.

Would expect Yates to come over to them whenever he wants, but will be interesting to see who he bring with him.

Trek bringing Cataldo back for this is just weird. Why not bring him back to drill the flat and leave it an easy bridge for Ciccone if you don't trust Ciccone on his own

 

[Devil's Elbow]

About to turn off the sound on my feed from the amount of times they're calling this the 'slightly easier side' of the Mortirolo. Enough with the sugarcoating, this side is barely worth half the classic one.

Also they're claiming there are only three sides to this climb when they've climbed and descended four in the past decade of the Giro alone.

I guess Yates should be the best climber in the original group. Question is how much energy he has to spend to close a one minute gap to Kämna, Arensman and Valverde.

As if the nature break disrupted the flow behind.

 

[Earns1985]

So Buchmann attack at the Mortirolo? Keldermann waiting at the top and leads until the foot of Teglio. From there on Kämna will take over? Carapaz has to chase alone, Hindley just follows and for this reason has more energy in the end and will take the jersey?

Just dreaming..

Valverde doing all the shrugging and shaking of the head when near the front

The morti climb, no rolo.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Ha ha, grandpa Valverde schooling the kids.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Kämna just told Valverde that he rates Giro and Tour GC victories higher than 5 Fleche Wallones and 7 Vuelta podiums, hence his reaction.

I'd say it's rolo, but not morti.

 

[Velolover2]

Rota falling back to Hirt.

 

[Fantastico]

Is Yates just waiting or simply not good today? He is not even following Martin and Keldermann now.

 

[MrTea1976]

Rain. Solar-powered Yates done.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Formolo underwhelming as well.

And now the first bad weather test for the new production team...

In a big break you don't necessarily spend much more energy than in the bunch. The battle for place 10 and the blue jersey is clearly open.

In modern cycling a stage with four tough climbs is quite exceptional. A lot should happen today.

Taking his role as old geezer seriously.

 

[Netserk]

LET IT RAIN!

I dunno. Yates just sat on on Saturday too and then if the wheel he was following was losing too much he jumped up a group. Might just trust the legs that he can gamble on giving 15seconds or so

Spots of rain

 

[Netserk]

Yates taking a turn.

 

[sir fly]

The things in the peloton don't look as confident as earlier.

 

[Velolover2]

Great stage so far. Lots of the strongest climbers all over the place.


And the peloton already looks small.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

According to GCN commentary there shouldn't be rain until after 6 pm.

 

[Earns1985]

Looks like a lot less then 40 seconds..
