Giro d'Italia 2022 Giro d'Italia, Stage 19: Marano Lagunare – Santuario di Castelmonte 178 km (Friday, May 27th)

[Cookster15]

Didn't Hindley already lose a Giro on the last day in the ITT? I have a bit of dejavu.

Pretty sure Hindley looks stronger now. Logically at his age he should be. So not sure we can read anything into that day. It could happen again, but if it did it would be a fluke. We won't know until it happens.

Sosa was today 132nd on the stage

41st on GC in Volta Catalunya in 2019 - 41st on GC in Volta Catalunya 2022

44th on GC in the Giro in 2019 - 44th on GC on the Giro this year after stage 19

Totally agree. It occurred to me watching, like what if Bouwman just stops closing gaps and let one of the other three just ride away? Schmid would be content to just end up 4th as long as he beats Bouwman? I guess QS's strategy is wheelsuck a guy they think wants to win, as long as they don't lose by putting their neck out on the line? Like what are they even doing in this Giro besides sheparding old man Cav around.

Not like Bouwman didn't ride in the most boring way possible himself on the last climb while being the nominally best climber in the group.

Maybe he does a Rasmussen instead.

Either Saturday or Sunday!

Why did the chicken cross the road........uh which time......

Looks like Giro would really like for Pogi to participate in the near future:

Zaradi Pogačarja Giro še tretjič zapored v Slovenijo?

S kolesi in morjem gledalcev zasedena Kolovrat in polna dolina Soče. Prireditelji Dirke po Italiji so navdušeni nad kolesarskim praznikom, vrhovni šef Mauro Vegni pa bi se takoj vrnil v Slovenijo, če na Giru 2023 starta Tadej Pogačar.

From ideas for Giro to visit Slovenia again in 2023. To ideas of having a hilly ITT or MTF on Višarje. One slight problem as currently the (asphalt) road is missing. If such project would go through then basically Zoncolan would get some competition.

Don't want a Zonc like MTF. Also what would be wrong with Mangart?

Mangart would be great. Just yesterday I made a route with Nevea, Vršic and Mangart. Then you can start in Ljubljana the next day and have Kolovrat and Matajur on the way to Cividale del Friuli.

EDIT: This is only using roads that have featured in the Giro in the past decade:

Absolutely nothing. Personally i am hoping for a whole stage of one of the GTs in Slovenia in near future. Not just some detour.

P.S. Maybe to include Rogla.

This Rogla:

Obviously this Rogla is welcomed too:

And sure Pogi can participate too:

AFAIK he did some training on Rogla in the past. And as for Rogla. There is some history there too.
