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

[sir fly]

Something doesn't feel right... peloton's not closing at all.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

For all the excitement about Astana taking over in the peloton they're still losing time to the strongest from the breakaway.

 

[Fantastico]

The chasers are not gaining on the DSM group. Interesting.

They are closing the gap.

 

[Netserk]

Looking back, they shouldn't.

That was the moment the advantage went from 3 to 5 minutes. If they were nice, they could have waited until just after the pee break was over. But some of their riders are better used on the flat before Mortirolo than afterwards.

 

[Mayomaniac]

According to RAI Almeida only has Ulissi left with him in the main bunch.

 

[Eclipse]

I am happy to see Carthy finding his climbing legs again

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Jan Hirt slowly dieseling his way to the front. Another three weeks of non-stop mountain stages and my crazy podium prediction can still come true.

 

[Fantastico]

I am happy to see Carthy finding his climbing legs again

Actually, this could also be the Carthy from Sunday who measures his efforts in a weird way and completely explodes in the end.

Ciccone losing his...

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Okay on these false flat ascents like Etna I didn't mind the focus on the break but please please start showing the GC group more now.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Looks like riding hard to the flat ruined Ciccone's legs.

I'm surprised Ulissi is still there.

 

[Fantastico]

Why? There's nothing happening.

 

[Eclipse]

Ciccone losing his...

I don't want to say something too outrageous, but I think he might just be riding sensibly :O

e: ok 28 seconds is quite a bit

Still nothing to really show. A few riders going out but it's not like the pace is high

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Seeing Astana arriving in the front I started making sexual noises

 

[tobydawq]

Why? There's nothing happening.

We still need to see it.

 

[Rollthedice]

There may be a paycheck for the Astana boys but they look like they haven't properly eat in some time.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I'm surprised Ulissi is still there.

The effect of there being no long stages in this Giro to break him down.

 

[Roku]

Jan Hirt slowly dieseling his way to the front. Another three weeks of non-stop mountain stages and my crazy podium prediction can still come true.

IMHO, he was the obvious favourite for today's stage given how strong he was on the first week.

Occasional pictures how many helpers Almeida or Carapaz have left can't hurt.

 

[Fantastico]

I'm surprised Ulissi is still there.

And, he's gone.

 

[skippo12]

Ulissi dropped. Almeida isolated?

 

[Netserk]

We still need to see it.

We do see it.

Would you prefer static images of the favourites with no images of the race unfolding?

 

[Mayomaniac]

I'm surprised Ulissi is still there.

Ulissi can be really good on 1 or 2 mountain stages in a gt, but his descending is as bad as Joao's, another guy who's often descending with his hands on the drops...

 

[carolina]

Ulissi dropped. Almeida isolated?

Yeah, only Formolo in the break. Not surprising at all.
