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

[Eclipse]

Well. That was 178km

 

[Mayomaniac]

But in all seriousness - will happen right? He sent 2 riders straight off the road.

If that's not a relegation I don't know what would be one, you need to put someone in the hospital?

 

[carton]

That last turn of Bouwman was a bit shady.

Yeah he totally cut off Schmid there, and caused the crash.

The stage went as expected. Carapaz still much more aggressive than Hindley. Seems like Jay knows something we don't. Anyway, I feel even as level-headed as Carapaz is he'll take a bigger dig tomorrow on Fedaia if he has the legs. Landa and Nibali still seem like our only chance of some legit action before then, plus they can both send some sentinels up the road.

 

[Stelvio]

If it is ok to choose a line that requires your competitors to lock up their wheels, then I don't know about the pick-your-line rules..

 

[Rollthedice]

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

Those cojones ballooned to such a size that they're dragging him down, impending any attempt to attack.

Climbers don’t need that extra weight.

 

[Velolover2]

Carapaz did his best. He is explosive but not explosive enough to Purito' Hindley and get 10 bike lengths in the matter of a second.

Multiple "featherball accelerations" is unfortunately not enough.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Those cojones ballooned to such a size that they're dragging him down, impending any attempt to attack.

Come on he is more aggressive than other gc riders. Doesn't mean he is aggressive enough.

 

[samhocking]

Can't agree with that win, you can't cut a corner like and then also admit you didn't know the corner was that sharp and so in your lack of knowldge cause you to enter the corner too fast and so take others out of the sprint for the actual line. The race is for the line, not the apex of the last corner imo.

 

[saunaking]

Carapaz has looked better the past few stages, I thought Hindley was stronger throughout most of this race but Carapaz is gaining confidence and Hindley losing it a bit. Carapaz not afraid the past few stages
to waste a bunch of energy attacking in these places where he's almost certainly not gonna gain time on Hindley and not afraid of any counter attack.

I think he'll be aggressive tomorrow

 

[movingtarget]

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

Must be a toaster watcher...........

 

[Red Rick]

LR arguing now you can't take the apex of the corner in an uphill sprint when you're in first position

 

[Velolover2]

To be it feels more like it is Hindley who is confident in his time trail, not Carapaz.

Carapaz was the aggressive one today.

 

[Cagalitroso]

I dont understand the whiners here. Complaining about everything. Have some patience ffs, the hard stages are yet to come and you will see all the exciting action you are craving,

A big shout out to my cugino Pippo. Excellent job directing the broadcast, and it is just your first year!!

Tomorrow is why today wasn’t raced, Landa will go all out and Hindley will try and counter, I do agree that Carapaz is looking better the last couple of days.

Bouwman was in front & was carrying more speed.

Schmid is the one who made a mistake.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Quite impressed with Bora.

It takes some guts making a fool out of yourself like that. Didn't know they had it in them.

 

[Tim Cahill]

'It wasn't really an ideal stage to put the hammer down'

Hindley isn't the most charismatic of chaps I'm afraid, talk some sh*t about your rivals or something, anything.

 

[Red Rick]

I think so yeah.

Another problem I see is that domestiques too weak to set the pace hard enough to be able to create gaps. This stop starting bs doesn't drop anyone.

 

[StryderHells]

Bouwman was in front & was carrying more speed.

Schmid is the one who made a mistake.

Yep that’s what happened, anyone who says Bouwman made a mistake is straight up wrong.

 

[Ricco']

Odds of Landa and Hindley to wait for Carapaz on sunday to do this dynamic trio anthics up the TT climb? I don't think they even know how to climb alone anymore.

 

[JosefK]

Ineos' Siv apparently crashed earlier today. Looks okay, though.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

You got to respect G Martin. The guy is a true racer and he just tries his best at every opportunity. He will never be a big champion, but the peloton would be more boring without a rider like him.

 

[Red Rick]

If that's not a relegation I don't know what would be one, you need to put someone in the hospital?

Schmid is the one taking the impossible line and trying to force himself in there.

Remember when Nibali beat Landa and we called him dumb for letting Nibali in through the inside with 75m to go?

 

[glassmoon]

If only Jonas was here...

yep... there was more than enough potential for uphill crashes between podium candidates so far
