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

Does the peloton still have a chance? Bahrain apparently thinks so, maybe.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Should be. Slovenian.

Novak suddenly turned into a great climbing domestique in 2020, dropping Nibali on the Piancavallo and the Stelvio while working for Bilbao.
That was one of the wildest "WTF, 2020?" moments in that Giro for me.

Lots of good climbing legs in the break but sub 3 mins with Bahrain having numbers to drill it would be a convo for sure

 

[Valv.Piti]

I wonder how much time Martin loses on the last climb. 5-6 minutes at least?

 

[Netserk]

Santa Cristina:

It ends with 6.2 km to go.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Probably the wrong place to complain about it, but those Suzuki commericals with a fake Japanese accent on Italian TV seem rather tasteless to me, who the hell thinks that something like this is a good idea, even in Italy?

Should be. Slovenian.

Sole left?

 

[Climbing]

RAIN AT THE FINISH!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Kämna has had enough of everyone else's company.

Maybe it's a gimmick.

Wait, it's fake?

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Don't really understand this from Kämna but heyho, why not. Descend attacks ftw!

 

[Netserk]

Let Valverde unlock his anchor powers.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Maybe it's a gimmick.

The gimmick being that they don't actually want to sell any cars?

 

[tobydawq]

Why the hell did they let that happen?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Don't really understand this from Kämna but heyho, why not. Descend attacks ftw!

He's in a group with Valverde so he's guaranteed to get a decent gap.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Big Lenny dropping those cookie cutters!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

RAIN AT THE FINISH!

Kamna basically calling their bluff.

Carthy can't descend. Valverde doesn't want to work. Hirt is kind of hiding. Poels has been clinging on most of the day. Arensman hasn't looked hugely comfy

 

[Faserr]

Kämna needs a faster tempo before the steep part. I think its a good move. Poels was only sitting on.

 

[Red Rick]

Imagine if Kämna is on the way to the stage win but has to wait for Hindley

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Kamna should win in this position

 

[Netserk]

There hasn't been any reason to complain about him today so far, but we can always hope.
