Giro d'Italia 2022 Giro d'Italia, Stage 4: Avola – Etna 170 km (Tuesday, May 10th)

[sir fly]

I think Contador doesn't make a difference between MVdP and WVA.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Van der Poel will just ride everyone OTL later in the race, so a huge time loss today won't matter.

Il Giro d’Italia on tv: an historical first with the brand new production. Where are the time gaps?

They finally realised it's better just not to show them when they're often so wrong

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Excellent use of a camera bike to show Van der Poel regularly.

 

[Faserr]

The car went fullgas with the sticky bottle.

 

[Sciatic]

They finally realised it's better just not to show them when they're often so wrong

Or any graphics for that matter (except lame HR data) . . . Km to go, composition of groups, names of chateaus and churches . . .

They really have a new production company for this year. Guess they are working with the same guys only the equipment is new.

I think it's warranted. After all, it's a podium candidate losing time early on the climb. It's Mayo TDF 2004, 2005 and 2006 level, without the arguing with the camera to stop filming part.

An opened jersey helps the motivation

Podium candidate for what? You're not talking about GC are you?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Oldani is not a heavy guy, his weight is in the low 60ies, if his engine holds up he shouldn't loose that much time.

 

[hq87]

Those alpecin jerseys giving me that colourblind vibe

 

[gregrowlerson]

I'm getting a constant picture of three Aussie commentators. This is all so the Giro.

It's just sooo ugly, what were they thinking?

The HR (or any other personal data, ftm) are the least reliable, imo.

chooo chooo

VdP is the new Aru

The train!

I guess you are not familiar with the words from our Lord and Savior Alberto.



Didn't expect Oldani to be able to do so well on a MTF. If he keeps up this rhythm the jersey might stay with Alpecin until Blockhaus.

 

[gregrowlerson]

The train!

Not a single carriage missing apparently lol

 

[Ripper]

Martin going to Etna to prep, climbing it 20 times, and never once climbing the side you're going to race really puts into perspective French team culture and race prep lol

Indeed! If he was being honest, that just really does not seem to make a lot of tactical or strategic sense.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Ineos drilling it. At least they are doing the work for all the other teams.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Still early, but Oldani winning a big MTF from this group would be the most random thing since Foliforov. Let alone by soloing the whole climb.

That’s one way to get rid of that ugly Alpecin jersey!

 

[Rollthedice]

Reportedly Oldani has over a minute advantage.

 

[Samamba]

How is Oldani still extending his lead. I know he's not a bad climber, but still he's not good either.
