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

[Rollthedice]

Cav looked like he was going to a funeral.

 

[Netserk]

And that doesn't even take into account the possibility of reusing old designs like the 1994 finale, the southeast side of Aprica used in 2015, or other finish locations...

And then there's the option of Gavia too.

 

[Aimar16]

This is quite a long neutral start

 

[MrTea1976]

Waiting for the MVDP attack....

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

There's headwind on the 20km flat after Mortirolo. Not strong, 11-13km/h but definitely a bummer for everyone that fancies a long range attack

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Waiting for the MVDP attack....

...along with the KOM challengers. 120 points available if you're first over all three mountains.

 

[Rollthedice]

Formolo already pulling faces.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Huh? Why stopping?

 

[Rollthedice]

Stop for meet and greet Sonny.

 

[SafeBet]

Sonny talking in Poels' radio: this is the day to destroy the Giro, mates.

 

[sir fly]

Hard stage, tough slopes, but not that technical.
Strength and attrition on the menu.

 

[Netserk]

Benedetti from Bora in the chase group.

 

[Netserk]

Bora with a plan.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Caicedo DNS after testing positive for corona yesterday

What a nightmare race for EF - 3 riders have to quit the race because of illness and the rest of the team not looking much better - no interest in any jerseys and virtually no chance of a stage win

 

[Netserk]

Sütterlin delivering Poels.

 

[Netserk]

Still 20 km before the climb starts.

 

[MrTea1976]

I want to see MVDP and Cav sprint for the stage win.

 

[Netserk]

I think they are aware that they can bridge up to the front group on the climb.

 

[sir fly]

Smart move by De Gendt.
But he'll spend plenty of time alone if stays like this.

 

[SafeBet]

Bala wants to be in the break today.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Anyone else in Australia currently not able to get the live feed on sbs on demand?

 

[Eclipse]

Not a long leash for the break so far

 

[MrTea1976]

At this rate, we'll have GC action on the first climb.

 

[Netserk]

At this rate, we'll have GC action on the first climb.

No.

 

[sir fly]

No one's daring until they feel the legs after the rest day.
