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

[DJ Sprtsch]

Hip injury for Superman. Wonder why he even took the start?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Odds of this Giro turning into an Ineos procession? If Yates is actually done and Almeida's underwhelming start is a sign of things to come, we're going to need a lot of Landismo and voodoo...

Well, that, or this break containing the next Chiappucci.

 

[Red Rick]

Both Yates and MAL were in the motocrash?

Yates crashed before that I think.

 

[Berflamand]

Both Yates and MAL were in the motocrash?

No, none of them were.

Yates was in an earlier crash and MAL had a lingering injury for a few days apparently.

 

[Eclipse]

I see no reason to believe Yates is in any real sort of trouble. Took a bang on the knee and got some magic spray on it but it didn't look like there was major swelling or cuts or anything. Maybe it's a bit sore tomorrow but there's plenty of recovery time after today before he might get tested again.

Congrat Kamna for your first GT victory !

If he can survive today in the group of favourites, and there is no lingering pain he can still win the giro

Guys why do you have so many time in your life to totally overreact to such stuff. And second: Why Kämna and not Mauri or Lopez? When it comes to high mountain climbing they are maybe better than this iteration of Kämna.

From the break I also wouldn't underestimate Conti and Taramäe. Both know how to manage a break.

Sad to see Yates banged up und Lopez gone. But theres always crashes and contenders leaving early.

 

[Tour de Berghem]

Juan Pedro Lopez and Mauri Vansevenant the two best riders in the break IMHO.

Really hope that Yates has no problem.

 

[Lequack]

Rein Taaramäe will win this stage.

 

[Lequack]

Yates loitering at the back of the peloton again.

Giving JP Lopez a huge leash would be a mistake. Nobody really knows how good he could be. He looked increasingly strong during the Vuelta last year. He isn’t a GT winner, but he would be tough to get rid of.

Getting strategy pointers from Ethan Hayter.

relax yates just went back to the team car for a drink ....

Why must he play with out feelings like that

 

[roundabout]

Doesn't Simon generally like to ride at the back? Or is it only Adam?

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

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

 

[Tour de Berghem]

On an Italian forum I read he said f**k you to a camera operator on a motorcycle

Yates had that nailed long before Hayter was a pro

Runs in the family.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Rein Taaramäe will win this stage.

He was one of the pre-race favorites for the stage and obviously he' in a great position now!

 

[JosefK]

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

 

[sir fly]

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

He pulled a 2015 Froome for filming him after a crash?
