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

[Valv.Piti]

And you can add a couple of very easy flat stages with 3 rest days and you have a good training block where he probably will contest 1/3 of the stages.

Why are they showing this e-bike nonsense?

Contractually obligated.

Most of them look far too young to need an e-bike to me.

Kind of interesting how Ineos haven't been in the front. Is Carapaz struggling or they so confident they feel they don't need to? Just unusual for them to not be there and then all the other top teams are at the front.

e-bikes are a world phenomenon which hasn't been purely about the age for years now... wheter we like it or not.

Sure, but how can it be a sport?

Probably just taking a quiet day. They rode quite a bit yesterday and they'll ride tomorrow

 

[Rackham]

Guillaume Martin is only in the breakaway because he knows Chris Horner loves pronouncing his name.

Tomorrow will be a hard day

E-bikes are very useful as a mode of transport for a lot of people, sure. I'm not so sure about the necessity of high end electronic road bikes for the vast majority of people though.

 

[Didinho]

Mathieu!!

 

[Netserk]

10 km to the intermediate sprint, and after that they start the GPM of today, where we should see the first moves for the stage win.

EDIT: Lol. That was early.

 

[glassmoon]

MVdP goes!!!

 

[Aimar16]

MvdP solo

 

[Eclipse]

What an animal this man is

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Softening up time

 

[Bolder]

Too far out but may thin the pack.

 

[KZD]

Schmid, Ghirmay and Poels are able to catch Mathieu.

 

[Didinho]

Schmid looks really good

 

[Red Rick]

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

He can't even get rid of Poels, who was weak yesterday

Poels has half MvdPs monuments so it's not surprising he puts up at least a bit of a fight.

Poels monuments were won ages ago when Nibali was still winning GTs.

 

[KZD]

I think Van der Poel may drop everyone in the last climb + descend but it won't be easy.

 

[Netserk]

This is why he should have waited for the GPM as the earliest spot to open the finale.
