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

[bob.a.feet]

Mas and Vingegaard must be kicking themselves for not racing this Giro.

Pic of the day. Martin Le Giro.

That last turn of Bouwman was a bit shady.

Like the overhead shot of the trees covering the riders.

 

[ashhutch1997]

The thing that is so frustrating about this route is that they could of made a few small changes to some of the stages and made it a decent route..

 

[samhocking]

Bouwman was in front & was carrying more speed.

Schmid is the one who made a mistake.

He admitted in his interview he entered too fast. That's the only reason he was ahead because he was out of control already.

 

[Netserk]

What did I miss today?

 

[ice&fire]

Relegate Schmid for comedy reasons

Or just for grumpy Patrick's reaction.

 

[Mayomaniac]

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?

Yes, to me it also looks like Schmid is the one to blame

 

[noob]

Hindley lost the spark in his eyes

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Mas and Vingegaard must be kicking themselves for not racing this Giro.

A missing Giro win will mean nothing for Enric in four months time when he’s sitting there with Tour and Vuelta victory

 

[Aimar16]

If it were F1, Bouwman would definitely get a 5 second penalty

 

[Escarabajo]

What did I miss today?

Nothing!
Everytime I turned to watch the cameras were showing the break!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Yes, to me it also looks like Schmid is the one to blame

Bouwman chopped schmid and forced him to slam the breaks and lock his back wheel.

 

[movingtarget]

Apart from the fact that the three best climbers are so close, they had too many mountain stages where the hardest climb came early. Whether some route tinkering would have helped who knows. Bora sound confident about Hindley's chances in the TT.

 

[Pistolas]

It's official, Almeida chasings were the most amusing GC action of this boring race.

 

[ice&fire]

Mas and Vingegaard must be kicking themselves for not racing this Giro.

I have never seen Mas being better than Carapaz or Landa in a GT where all of them were competitive.

 

[Cagalitroso]

A missing Giro win will mean nothing for Enrich in three months time when he’s sitting there with Tour and Vuelta victory

Is that Mas German cousin?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Hindley is one of my least favourite riders for his refusal to put his face on the wind.

 

[Red Rick]

If it were F1, Bouwman would definitely get a 5 second penalty

That's because they're incompetent.

 

[Phillip O'Garner]

Fully expect Vendrame to come motoring past in the last 50m.

If I was a betting man I would say I'd been robbed.

 

[yetanothergreenworld]

Nothing!
Everytime I turned to watch the cameras were showing the break!

I drifted away from the race a bit after Bardet left . . . But increasingly I suspect that I'm not missing much.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I think the whole break should be disqualified for slowing down that much in the final kilometres. BORA were trying their best in order to have them finish before the GC action began, but they just wouldn't comply.

So Bayer is the real winner of the stage.

 

[samhocking]

It's like when you're crit racing, you can always get ahead of another rider if you simply dive the apex faster than everyone actually slowing down to take it within limits, but you always create carnage for everyone else exiting that apex. This is really frowned on in motprsport and of course crit racing, you just can't use that tactic, it's just not on imo, I noticed Jumbo did the same in Tour of Norway too, so might well be a tactic as difficult for jury to decide on apex moves like this.

The real winner is Tonelli, its his 30th Birthday on Sunday !!!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Awful stage. Awesome finish.

Landa and Hindley are the two most negative and boring GC riders I've witnessed in a long time. They new to grow a pair. Carapaz is the most agressive of the three and he doesn't even need to attack.
