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

[Tim Cahill]

Kuss might win this if he's not dropping that much time on the flat part

 

[Samamba]

5 seconds left for Vine on Rici on T3. Will be close, definitely says something about Rici's time tho. Still so young. Israels Giro is insanely good compared to what the expectations were.

It's kinda mythical seeing these riders disappear into the climb with no camera on them. Like Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas entering the Gate of the Dead and we only get to see a brief glimpse at the intermediate.

There have not been enough LOTR references at all re this years giro. I did my part. thank you for doing yours!

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Vine P1

 

[staubsauger]

That's just open fraud towards Riccitello!

Unbelievable. Vine certainly won those 3 seconds by getting a derny ride on the flat part.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Riccitello went full Foliforov on that climb damn, I was hoping we might see something like that, he's been nowhere all race.

 

[Netserk]

McNulty should improve that time by 30-40”.

 

[KZD]

McNulty should improve that time by 30-40”.

46 seconds. A good indication for Almeida.

 

[dgodave]

How do you climb with a flag in your mouth?

 

[HelloDolly]

McNulty is a GC rider in the making imo

Arise, arise, riders with Rohan!
Fell deeds awake, fire and slaughter!
Bike shall be shaken, helmet be splintered!
A sword-day, a yellow day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now, ride to Pink!”

I think that's what Dennis said this morning to Roglic.

Not in a million years

McNulty is a GC rider in the making imo

Especially 1 week races imo

 

[Netserk]

We should soon see how fast Kuss is.

I think he'd need the right route and team. Reminds me a bit of Wiggins in that he can do a solid pace but he isn't following any big attacks

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

In a different team he would be contending for GC. When has he shown you he can’t be a GC rider?

Consistency.

Getting real Peyragudes vibes from the UAE team today

and how is that a problem ...have you seen this Giro

 

[Andon]

Armirail one minute faster than McNulty so far?
edit: some errors in official timing apparently

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Consistency.

He can put in the odd monster climbing performance but his base level in between them is too low at the moment.

 

[Brullnux]

UAE have been so silly lol. Formolo barely tried up that climb and he's top 10, Ulissi is the 5th best climber and he's 4th. What?

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

So only top 5 with cameras on them on the climb? That's quite disappointing.

This after they all disappeared and left Almeida to lose time as soon as the pace rose yesterday.

If Geraint Thomas and Tom Dumoulin can win GTs then so can McNulty
