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

[Samu Cuenca]

Formolo will come back to Almeida soon, though you never know how much help he can give him.

 

[Eclipse]

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

We are getting them? Like what major action have we missed? We saw when the leadership team changed and we've seen when anyone vaguely notable has been tailed off. There's nothing else happening though.

Meanwhile there's actually quite a lot of action in the break

 

[Mayomaniac]

Ulissi dropped. Almeida isolated?

Formolo should still be somewhere up on the road, but atm he's isolated.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Ulissi dropped. Almeida isolated?

That's what you get for choosing a team where you're the plan B.

 

[skippo12]

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

If Astana pushes the pace downhill this could turn into a really bad day for UAE.

 

[tobydawq]

We do see it.

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

Lol. As if there is no middle ground.

 

[noob]

And, he's gone.

And satelite Formolo is going to die the minute he is back with Almeida

 

[Eclipse]

Rough one for Ciccone, got so close but looks like the legs aren't there.

 

[carolina]

If Astana pushes the pace downhill this could turn into a really bad day for UAE.

To far from the finish, it's unlikely that will happen.

 

[Mayomaniac]

And satelite Formolo is going to die the minute he is back with Almeida

Formolo can ride hard all day long, but in a pure w/kg fight even a fresh Formolo is probably not good enough to be up there.
Am I the only one who thinks that Carthy wasted a lot of energy by closing that gap with a violent acceleration when he was already almost there?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Bouwman saved Jumbo Giro

 

[Velolover2]

Great job by Hamilton. Arensman better deliver.

 

[Fantastico]

Poels in difficulty.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

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

Ciccone... riding sensibly?

 

[Fantastico]

Am I the only one who thinks that Carthy wasted a lot of energy by closing that gap with a violent acceleration when he was already almost there?

No, I think the same. He did the same thing on Sunday and paid for it heavily.

 

[StryderHells]

Great job by Hamilton. Arensman better deliver.

Hamilton was very impressive.

 

[sir fly]

Formolo will come back to Almeida soon, though you never know how much help he can give him.

For sure he can make an impression.

 

[Netserk]

Yates nowhere to be seen.

 

[Velolover2]

Idiot spectators with selfie sticks.

 

[skippo12]

Yates nowhere to be seen.

Just like Saturday. Turned out well for him.

 

[Fantastico]

Yates nowhere to be seen.

It's still only a one minute gap that you can close on the later climbs. But I guess that Martin, Yates and Keldermann will lose more time on the descend and flat.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Wait, is Ciccone actually riding smart and pacing himself well? Now that would be a huge surprise!
edit: Nah, probably just Italian GPS...

 

[Eclipse]

It's still only a one minute gap that you can close on the later climbs. But I guess that Martin, Yates and Keldermann will lose more time on the descend and flat.

Yeah that's not exactly a group of descending royalty

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Astana are still closing the gap a bit, but they obviously dont want to kill their team too early. I don't know how reliable the GPS time is though.

But now they're trying harder. Imagine the possible carnage if Scarponi had been in that break.

 

[Netserk]

So Bora, what is the plan now?
