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

[Netserk]

I see veloviewer has it up to 6.4 %, with the overall stats being 3.3 km at 4.6 %.

 

[Samamba]

Wait was that it?

EDIT: Ok nvm, there goes VdP. So what is Intermarché going to do now?

 

[Netserk]

Breakaway stage it is, it seems. MvdP in the break.

 

[Tim Cahill]

This is great, can't see a sprinter winning here.

 

[KZD]

Van der Poel already attacking

 

[Samamba]

Intermarché sending someone up the road, seems like a breakaway day then. Don't see VdP losing then.

 

[Didinho]

11 in front, peloton not far
Mathieu already pulling the most

 

[Samamba]

I don't think it's possible to control on this circuit

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Why does Van der Poel get no help at all from his team?

 

[Netserk]

There's an additional little climb more, but after that it is very flat for a while, so it could be controlled there.

 

[Samamba]

Big group that's gone now.

VdP solo

 

[Red Rick]

If MvdP goes in the break as a guy 3 minutes down on GC I think you wanna be in that break.

 

[Didinho]

Another big group joins the front
Mathieu solo now

 

[Netserk]

This descent is the final climb of the stage btw.

 

[titan31]

VDP putting the hammer down

 

[Netserk]

Girmay in the break too!

 

[Red Rick]

Girmay in the break too!

I was wondering why Wanty wasn't closing that break down.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Going to be a good break fight today.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

MVdP treating this like
he treated the cyclo cross circuits
two seasons ago

 

[Samamba]

FDJ should close this if they want Demare to win the point classification.

 

[Didinho]

Offcourse now they're all working together

 

[titan31]

Looks like Guillaume Martin is in the break from a GC perspective.

 

[Samamba]

Aha Guillaume Martin started his "pls give me free minutes so I can get a top 10 in the end" strat.

 

[Netserk]

Guillaume Martin is 4'06'' down in GC.

 

[Didinho]

Who is riding in the peloton? Time gap stays the same
