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

[Valv.Piti]

I know I moaned a lot about not showing the peloton so far, but at this point do we even want to see them on Fedaia? Not really

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

False alarm, all good. He is there.

Wiggins will be delighted, and will probably say that with such powers of recovery he must be favourite to win the stage.

 

[groogster]

I simply fall asleep in my couch after lunch watching this, hope they put in a show from now on. Landa needs to make his move unless he is satisfied with 3rd place

I could do with never seeing them in a race ever again at this rate tbh.

 

[noob]

Imagine having covid watching Covi...

If Landa was going to try to move out of third he would have done something by now.

I dont see why a GT cant have more mid mouintain /rollimg stages
The Tour a few years ago was better for it

All these high mountains are not good if everyone is on the same climbinglevel

 

[ppanther92]

Not showing the peloton on all those stages was PR management by the organizers. Because this is the dullest 3rd week in a GT since I watch cycling. Even Froome and Armstrong having 5 min plus gaps was more exciting.

Because GC organisers, large chunks of the media and many casual fans have a hard-on for the 'spectacle' of a hard and preferably famous MTF. And the sport is worse for it, remember the 2015 and 2016 Giri where the hardest MTF across both editions was probably Campitello Matese?

 

[Netserk]

Novak still with the chase group.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Remember, Vegni has a small brain, so he will consider this close GC as a win

 

[houtdffan]

This is why GTs need LONG TTs again

As it is, he have a loserville giro, where nobody wants to risk their precious 10th place finish

Remco could have won this race drunk, given the lack of attacking. These guys wouldn't know what to do when he attacked on a long range raid

 

[Red Rick]

Mayor of Verona may want to reconsider hosting the final stage.

 

[F_Cance]

this is the worst giro ever

 

[Escarabajo]

We have moaned just about everything on this race except for the landscaping and breakaways.
This is the worse I have seen in long time.

Remco would have at least 5 minutes advantage by now. Without even trying.

Just do the WC circuit on the final day (the 2004 one). 10-12 laps.

Look I am all for not rating Carapaz but "Evenepol woulda won" based on beating the God climber Jay Vine probably takes it a little far.

Aaaand those mid mountain stages always have better villages and churches and bridges.

Pecheux would be a MASSIVE improvement over Vegni

Yea but the landscape is great.

 

[skippo12]

Where is Guillaume Martin when you need him. Or at least Carthy and Valverde fighting for a top 10.

 

[houtdffan]

Remco would have at least 5 minutes advantage by now. Without even trying.

and Carapaz still wouldn't attack and he couldn't bring himself to risk second

Youtube has been a disaster for cycling.

The TV director not showing the peloton for most of the race since the first stages was ahead of his time.
