Giro d'Italia 2022 Giro d'Italia, Stage 8: Napoli – Napoli 153 km (Saturday, May 14th)

[Eclipse]

Way too much in the tank for TdG in the end. Might as well have been riding solo

 

[Rollthedice]

Masterclass De Gendt.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Brilliant. Vanhoucke had been quite useless for the most part but his effort in the last 3k was deciding.

 

[glassmoon]

De Gendt after all that work... wow. Chapeau!
MvP group like bunch of idiots...

 

[Red Rick]

I'm not gonna call MvdP a moron until he doesn't win.

Moron

 

[Bolder]

Great win for a master escapee. But Ghirmay and VDP should be embarrassed.

 

[Cookster15]

Congrats Lotto & De Gendt ! Nice.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

de Gendt sprinting against two guys who don't sprint, and the gulf between a master baroudeur and two guys who've never won a pro race really showed there.

 

[KZD]

When De Ghent wins, cycling wins.
Ghirmay should have worked in the last km as he was stronger.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Cofidis working against their leader?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

With Eurovision later today:
Vanhoucke... Douze points!

De Gendt cent points.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Cofidis working against their leader?

Eusebio Unzué will be tapping up the guys in the Cofidis team cars shortly

 

[Bolder]

G. Martin setting up his 10th on GC quite nicely.

Can watch as Martin loses all the time he gained today in tomorrow's stage now.

 

[Escarabajo]

Nobody had a chance against De Gent today. He did so much work. He didn't even bother about the other 2. LOL.

 

[movingtarget]

Textbook win. Lotto will take that with Ewan getting closer as well.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Guillaume Martin will lose those 4 mins over the next week, then get back into 2nd on gc with a breakaway on stage 15, then fall to 8th overall in the final week.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Thomas looks REALLY sharp. Haven't seen him this slim since forever.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

not bad 2nd for Bardiani

 

[jmdirt]

I LOVE it when the winner comes from a break!

Congrats TDG!

 

[Gigs_98]

There is something absolutely beautiful about a riders like De Gendt winning from breakaways. He's not the greates climber, nor the best sprinter nor does he have the most punchy attack. You can't really define his strength other than by the fact that he is extremely hard to beat in moments like these. Such a classy win.

 

[movingtarget]

Nice circuit for a rider like De Gendt.

 

[SafeBet]

Great win for a master escapee. But Ghirmay and VDP should be embarrassed.

Never easy to be alone in a breakaway against three riders from the same team, even if you're the strongest (and I'd argue the strongest was De Gendt anyway).

 

[Mayomaniac]

Are you thinking of Andrea Garosio?

Lol, I actually got them mixed up.
