Giro d'Italia 2023 Giro d’Italia, Stage 20: Tarvisio- Monte Lussari, 18.6km MTT

Good thing the organisers have a stop watch.

Bad thing that it's in the hands of Tudor.

 

[SafeBet]

So how do we rate Fiorelli's performance?

 

[nightowl]

The road surface should make it difficult to estimate the level of the performances.

I’m sure someone, somewhere, has measured the relative rolling resistance of this stuff vs asphalt. Just a matter of some calculations

 

[noob]

Cav looked so happy

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Cav high-fiving fans while still riding, good to see him having a good time

 

[noob]

What's the rule if they catch someone?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I do like how (for Fiorelli) there's 24 minutes from T1 to T2, 9 from T2 to T3, and 2 from T3 to the finish. Great use of resources.

They had to move the time checks because they didn't have internet on the initially planned spots

Wasn't that only T2?

 

[noob]

Uh, no...

Thanks, noobs forever noobs, blaming wishful thinking

An OTL is not impossible for Cav with that time. Winning time of 43:26 or faster would do it, even if the sub-42 minute winning time I've seen predicted seems overly optimistic to me he might have enjoyed himself a little too much.

That's one way in which this stage could over-deliver.

 

[noob]

Here they shouldn't allow fans like that :O

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Hvideberg can book a plane ticket home with that time.

They gonna find a way to add max time if they lose all the sprinters, no?

Mcnulty to register a time good enough to win the gc?

At the very least Cavendish is probably toast.

If this is too much for you, it's probably a good thing you weren't around to watch the Alpe d'Huez TT in 2004.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

They gonna find a way to add time if they lose all the sprinters, no?

One would imagine so, as it would make tomorrow utterly pointless most likely.

Only way to get Roglic his stage win?

Robbing Gee!

Why?

 

[saunaking]

Yes, he apparently did the full climb.

??? Didn't he regret doing a recon of PDBF and admit it in a team documentary?
Why wouldn't you do it on an ebike or something??

 

[noob]

Why?

Self preservation. They want the race to continue tomorrow

 

[noob]

1. What happens if they catch a rider in front of them? The rider behind is forced to wait for a while before riding?

2. What happens if they have bike problems on the climb?

 

[noob]

OMG the yellow smoke was way OTT :O
