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

[perico]

Is it too early? #FreeLanda

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Guys why do you have so many time in your life to totally overreact to such stuff.

It's just a joke. People making over-the top predictions, like Bilbao winning the Giro because he won a stage in Itzulia. Or Pogacar winning the Tour because he won the Tour.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Peloton not being so charitable now. Gap under 9 minutes.

Exactly, didn't take long for Ineos and Bahrain to shave off 3 minutes there. 8:20 now, and still 120km to go.

Taaramae's fault.

Does Landa look slimmer than usual to anybody else but me?
Nice scenery.

He is a little bit leaner yes.

Mareckzo dropped

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Would be pretty funny if Mareczko manages to OTL on a unipuerto stage. Then again it's nothing he hasn't done before.

 

[Pantani_lives]

Such a pity from MAL. I really wanted to see him on Blockhaus and Fedaia, especially after last year's bad luck...

Well, there's almost 3500 mt altitude gain to be fair...

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Hope the break wins and someone grabs the Maglia Rosa. Expect no major action from the GC group anyway and someone trying to defend his jersey might be one of the few interesting things to happen in the next two weeks.

 

[Eclipse]

Hard to judge how this is going to play out.

The gap has come down reasonably but it might just be people not wanting to take big risks with anyone up the road rather than wanting the stage win

It's 50 years since The Godfather premiere, btw.

Finally found the reason why they are racing in Sicily again this year

 

[gunara]

My daughter's clueless boyfriend keeps more promises than MAL, and he's in 7th grade. Lòpez is such a serial disappointment with that talent, I hope he still have enough time to get things right.

RCS got an offer they couldn't refuse?

It's RCS so that offer was a one word text going

Etna?

I worry about Kamna on a 23km climb - Calmejane could be the one.

Rochas is the best option for a French win IMO. Calmejane hasn't climbed that well for multiple seasons.

 

[BigCoward]

I think being a yates fan must be the most stressful thing...and I support Northampton Town.

Why would that be stressful? You know you are garbage so there is nothing to worry about

 

[HelloDolly]

Kamna as I said earlier should be riding GC and he is fine on a high MT climb ...wait and see

Don’t sleep on Juan Pedro Lopez. He’s had some results in mtn stages.

Maybe, but he hasn't been coping well with pressure during his career, so I don't expect him to be interested in a leadership role here, unless Kelderman cracks.

I also like him very much as a stage hunter.

Kemna best gc result is 8th Overall in a shortened dauphine. What are you smoking

 

[AlfaLum]

Think it is quite impressive that the break is maintaining such a big advantage.

 

[Samamba]

Mareczko OTL today? Would be good news for Alpecin/VdP
