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

That last turn of Bouwman was a bit shady.

Genius move though if he gets away with it.

The Trio is so close to each other that if Uncle Covid visits one of them the whole podium will be wiped out.

 

[saganftw]

bouwman definitely closed smid there, dont know if its enough to relegate him but it was sketchy

 

[Tim Cahill]

Martin would be better served saving a bit of energy for tomorrows stage and having a crack there rather than peacocking around and gaining 6 seconds on Richard Carapaz.

A 1 second acceleration, look back, slow down. All he has done so far.....

that and suckwheeling.

Congrats to Bouwman.
Deserved winner of the jersey. And the stages maybe worth even more.

At least there's no question whether the top three are the strongest in the race.

Too little action for the profile. I'm blaming Saturday.

Lol he just got to the inside of the corner way too late. He closed himself

Are people forgetting how awful the 2017 Giro was? There wasn't a single stage with GC action before the final climb. This year's Torino stage alone puts this year ahead.

Nah the 2017 Giro was an entertaining race, not on the level of 2015/16/18 races, but was still a really good race. With the suprise of the first stage, carnage of Blockhaus, stage 16 for many reasons and the last week was entertaining.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Don't let that bizarre finish distract you from how awful Bora were today

 

[SafeBet]

Bouwman closed the door but it was not a normal bunch sprint on a straight road. I don't think there's enough to relegate him.

Landa, Hindley and Carapaz giving each other less personal space than Siamese triplets.

 

[glassmoon]

they gave Landa same time? clowns!

Lefevere twitter content is already enough reason to not relegate Bouwman.

Landa raced with the biggest cojones as usual and deserved same time

I think I agree on watching the replay, there was no gap there. Bouwman was clearly in front and has a right to choose his line, especially around a corner. It looked bad, but I think he did nothing wrong.

 

[StryderHells]

Bardiani are having a good Giro, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th so far. Whoever said they didn’t deserve a wildcard got it wrong.

 

[Red Rick]

Relegate Schmid for comedy reasons

 

[Skalman]

Hopefully Martin goes in the break tomorrow

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The cojones of Vino's mum perhaps, but nothing more.

 

[ashhutch1997]

Rob Hatch called this an 'entertaining Giro d Italia' lol

 

[StryderHells]

Hopefully Martin goes in the break tomorrow

He will

lol...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I guess a mess of a finish was the one bad thing this Giro was missing. Seems I picked a good mountain stage to have to miss...

Yes, I think there was not enough room for a rider to come through on the inside of Bouwman approaching the turn, and he just kept moving in the direction that would give him the shortest route to the finish line.

If only Jonas was here...
