Giro d'Italia 2022 Giro d'Italia, Stage 17: Ponte di Legno – Lavarone 168 km (Wednesday, May 25th)

[spalco]

This must be the most infuriating race I've ever watched.

 

[46&twoWheels]

almeida at 2km right now

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Two of the revelations of the Giro finishing 1st and 2nd today. Nice! I'd wish they had shown some more of the chasers instead of the favorites the last few km's though. We have no idea who's gonna finish next.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Watch them not show VdP, Carthy and Hirt finishing after all that.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Seriously, where's the email of the organizers. This is shameful.

I trust you to write them on behalf on CN (apart from Netserk who likes tuning in for meaningless breakaway action).

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Almeida losing a lot on the flat - all by himself.

 

[Scarponi]

Lands 4-5 seconds ?

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Two mountain stages to go and a grand total of one stage has been won by a GC rider.

Nothing wrong with a diverse GT

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Van der Poel losing a sprint from a bunch of climbers. HAH!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Landa oh dear

 

[Bonimenier]

Landa sprinting van der Poel on a 10-15 bike lengths

 

[Eclipse]

lmao Landa loses 3 seconds haha

 

[skippo12]

Sprinting like no one told them about Hirt and Carthy.

 

[glassmoon]

Carapaz only winning the sprint where there isn't any time bonus left...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Almeida losing a lot on the flat - all by himself.

UAE not having a domestique strong enough to survive Menador from the breakaway really hurt them.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Almeida +1'09. Ouch! Worse than I expected. That might be the podium gone right there.

 

[Bonimenier]

Sprinting like no one told them about Hirt and Carthy.

Better safe than sorry

 

[perico]

Carapaz is the new Purito. Just sit there the entire race to sprint for bonus seconds.

 

[Brullnux]

Incredible that Landa loses ten seconds after a stage like that

 

[noob]

I thought Almeida had lost even more time honestly :O

 

[Bolder]

Almeida was not as far behind as I thought...

 

[Netserk]

Perfect day for Carapaz. But with Almeida out of the picture now, I don't think Landa and Hindley will allow him to lean on them as much going forward. So we should see more stop and go between the best climbers.

 

[Eclipse]

Carapaz is the new Purito. Just sit there the entire race to sprint for bonus seconds.

Dreadful take.

 

[sir fly]

Fine finale.
Not a bad stage at all.

Congrats to Buitrago.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Carapaz is the new Purito. Just sit there the entire race to sprint for bonus seconds.

Hindley is doing exactly the same and tbf the parcours incentivises this kind of racing with little TT and final climb-centred mountain stages. Such a poor edition.
