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

[Mayomaniac]

Sobrero already dropped.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Peloton exactly 5 mins behind the chase group at 15 km to go

 

[Rollthedice]

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

Pantani, Landani, Oldani

 

[Mayomaniac]

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.

Oldani is 62kg at 178cm, if anything him being a better sprinter than climber at that height to weight ratio is more random.

Peloton exactly 5 mins behind the chase group at 15 km to go

I'd guess 70% chance someone survives.

 

[Ripper]

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.

It seems that more than half the peloton and pundits out there are really just taking the pi$$. Either striving to get more clicks, having a laugh, or just really stupid

 

[Samu Cuenca]

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.

Oldani is the next Chiappucci.

 

[Rollthedice]

The remaining Lopez wants this stage.

 

[Eclipse]

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

Just a long old way to go, the chasers perhaps weren't fussed to really try shut it down.

 

[Samamba]

The real Lopez is strong!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Vamos Vamos Juanpe

 

[Mayomaniac]

JPL is the new JTL?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Oldani about to get caught evidently, GPS must have been way off given that it was supposedly a minute about a kilometre ago.

 

[hq87]

Lopez from Wish looking solid

 

[gregrowlerson]

Not a train at all at this stage......then I realise they're showing last 20 kms of stage 3....

 

[Earns1985]

Lol, already closed the gap. That wasn´t a minute..

 

[Samamba]

Km at 9-10% coming up

 

[Rollthedice]

Oldani about to get caught evidently, GPS must have been way off given that it was supposedly a minute about a kilometre ago.

Do you see the timing on the screen or is it just my Eurosport player acting "giroesque"?

That 1 minute gap sure did dissappear quickly huh

 

[hq87]

The amount of lateral movement that Vansevenant produces would probably be enough to power all of europe's homes if Russia were to shut off the gas.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Carapaz not feeling well and told Ineos to drop it? Pace completely out of the Peleton now.

Going off what the comms are saying.

 

[perico]

that poster is pretty smart...

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

Breakaway May not hold, but Lopez is a pure climber.

 

[Samamba]

I wouldn't be surprised if someone paced the climb better. Taaramae for example. Not over yet.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Time gaps on screen, this is not a drill!
