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

[noob]

So Yates was down in that first crash after all?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

5:30 already, peloton will have to start riding soon because there's enough climbing pedigree in this group that one of them could turn out to be a GC threat.

Like, seriously, what is their objective?

Ya, would have thought they'd try and get their best climber in today's break and go for the win. Im not sure GC teams will chase down today so it's a good opportunity for a stage win.

Also a bit surprised Fortunato ain't in that break. Could get himself a good stage win here again.

So, Lopez DNF?

Anyway, let's go Squalo, no doubts now.

 

[Lequack]

Is Lopez not happy with Astana as well?

Peleton will leave them take it and get the gap to sub 3 mins at the end when Ineos tempo ride Etna. Alpecin won't be defending the jersey today and with Yates crashing, it's up to Ineos really.

Maybe Nibali took him to see his trophy cabinet in the rest day.

Fortunato crashed early on and was at the medical assistance car when the break formed.

Peloton to give the break Pereiro-like distance. GC guys to finish together in a group of 20. Carapaz to break loose with 50 meters left for a 2 second gap.

MAL was too intimidated by Vincenzo's TT

Nibali forgot to update his voodoo recipe that Lopez is now his teammate.

Pretty much all of BikeExchange near the back, is Yates also hurting too badly? This field might have become very bland before the first mountain.

Darn, I hope not. That would mean we would be down 2 top GC riders before any action even starts.

Y’all thought I was joking

They all rode at the back with Yates for most of stage 3 as well so possibly nothing out of the ordinary.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Also very surprised at Ineos not pulling. Not only do they have something of an obligation to do so in these circumstances, it's also an opportunity to exploit any Yates injury.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Horrible for GC if Yates is fecked after that crash. Would be the two main unpredictable riders out that promised to make this Giro interesting. Yikes.

Wtf is going on

They are a kind team, not to exploit the troubles of a fellow British rider.

Kamna now the favorite to win the Giro?

Let's not get too excited

Hip injury for MAL.
