Giro d'Italia 2022 Giro d'Italia, Stage 20: Belluno – Marmolada 168 km (Saturday, May 28th)

[Armchair Cyclist]

Oh no!!! Ben Swift has been dropped! Carnage!!!

 

[Netserk]

Sunshine on Pordoi.

 

[Pistolas]

Just wake up from a nice siesta with beautiful landscapes. I see Covi passing first the Cima Coppi and I think I'm still dreaming...

 

[dgodave]

High mountain architecture. So blah.

 

[noob]

Imma gonna be really provoked if Covi wins this

 

[Valv.Piti]

I cannot ever remember more collective moaning on this forum than this Giro. Holy has this been an absolute terrible race. Its 1/10, 2/10-stuff at best, and thats only due to the Torino-stage.

 

[Netserk]

Novak, what is your role? Are you ready to stop in Arabba?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Portugal in absolute meltdown

 

[skippo12]

At least they dropped Van Emden...

 

[Fantastico]

I guess Bahrain just does not want to sacrifice someone. Bilbao will try to secure his 5th place in GC, Buitrago will probably still hope that he can take the White Jersey from López if the latter has a very bad day. And they also want to keep their lead in the Teams Classification. Which means that with Novak in front, there probably is no-one but Poels to set the pace on Pordoi and the descent.

 

[Rackham]

I now have no idea what Bahrain are doing.

It must be for the stage & the stage alone, because the GC is now done for Landa.

 

[tobydawq]

Lol, this race..

The weather was pretty good.

I remember the Tour de Suisse 2011 TT and I wasn't even active then.

 

[Netserk]

Swift made it with the peloton over Pordoi.

 

[ppanther92]

False alarm, all good. He is there.

 

[tobydawq]

I first read active as alive...

 

[Lequack]

Next year they can do away with boring high mountain stages and just have sprints and timetrials, alternating each day.

As if Landa outsprints Carapaz and Hindley. Their best bet for that was Novak.

 

[Poursuivant]

No Yates, No Party.

 

[Netserk]

Pordoi has some very nice, soft hairpins.

 

[Savant12]

The helicopter footage has made this Giro somewhat watchable.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I remember the Tour de Suisse 2011 TT and I wasn't even active then.

It can't possible be worse the 3 weeks of moaning across all stage threads...

 

[Eclipse]

Gimme 21 days of hills and medium mountain. Altitude is for suckers these days

 

[Devil's Elbow]

So Covi rides to the stage win unendangered and the big three get to hold hands one last time, got it. What a sad excuse of a Giro this is.
