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

[Devil's Elbow]

No idea why the Brits have given Carapaz the nickname Billy.
Unless it's an Isle of the Damned reference it's pretty lame.

These are the people who nicknamed their best footballer of the previous generation Wazza, I try to manage my expectations accordingly.

They are also the people that take 4 dudes with matching Tshirts to support Andy Murray and then proceed to have Tshirts spelling "mury"

Maybe because of Gazza?

I hadn't heard Rooney being called Wazza to be honest.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Don't think it's been mentioned here but apparently Démare is behind the grupetto. Maybe the ciclamino battle is alive again.

As well as having found it easier to call César Azpilicueta Dave.

Man City had a player called called Kiki Musampa. They nicknamed him Chris.

This one might be hard for non-British to work work out.

Between 1h00' and 1h05' most likely.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Break contesting the stage on Santa Cristina. I wonder how many pictures we will get of the real race on that climb - I fear not very many!

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Poor G. Martin ends up with a big fat nothing at the end of the day

Looking at the fans at massive sports events one would also think that Sweet Caroline is their national anthem...

Did you have the Murray pfp as a mod?
I feel like that one suited you premod then your current as a mod since it’s basically saying “yes, I have arrived. What are you going to do about it.” In my opinion.

 

[Lequack]

Pozzovivo is back in the leaders group!

 

[pvieira91]

Pozzovivo is back in the leaders group!

is vivo again

vivo means live in portuguese

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Front group has worked flawlessly for over an hour now, really perfect execution given all the big names in the second group.

 

[skippo12]

Poor G. Martin ends up with a big fat nothing at the end of the day

At least he is going to start the last climb with the GC group. Maybe even a slight head start. Not sure if he would have been able to hold on on the Mortirolo. Certainly would have struggled in the downhill.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Maybe because of Gazza?

No it's just standard for certain names. Wazza= Warren, Bazza= Barry, Hazza= Harry, Gazza= Gary etc.

On top of what was said by sir fly and netserk, this is also the country that has *** for Richard, Chuck for Charles, Jack for John, Bill for William, etc.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Why is Astana riding now?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

No it's just standard for certain names. Wazza= Warren, Bazza= Barry, Hazza= Harry, Gazza= Gary etc.

Wiggins = Wiggo, Geraint = Gee, Ian Stannard =Yogi, Dawg= Froomey

 

[Eclipse]

Why is Astana riding now?

Might as well do something with the riders before they are dropped anyway rather than letting Ineos manage the pace at something that keeps all their riders happy

 

[sir fly]

I think no one in the break wants Valverde on Aprica.

 

[dgodave]

Nice bridge to nowhere.

 

[Rollthedice]

Why is Astana riding now?

Apparently it's Pronskiy. A wonderful moment to be seen on TV by relatives and friends.

 

[Fantastico]

Let's see what Bora does now. Keldermann could still be used as a bridge, but if they wait too long, he will be caught before being of any use.
