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

[Netserk]

Arensman changed helmet.

 

[Tim Cahill]

4th placed in the 2022 Dauphine and in this years Giro was getting dropped by Hugo Houle up climbs in the tour last year. What an odd happenstance!

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

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

Hell Geraint Thomas might even win 2 GT’s!

 

[Brullnux]

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

Formolo has been a bit off-form tbf but vine just looked mentality?

 

[Red Rick]

Scenes when Kuss puts 26+ seconds into Thomas but Roglic doesn't

 

[HelloDolly]

UAE riders are such a bunch of mercenaries

 

[Samamba]

Scenes when Kuss puts 26+ seconds into Thomas but Roglic doesn't

This is actually going to happen

 

[Samamba]

Zana is going to be good too

 

[titan31]

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

True but that's just this one. Send him to the Tour and he's up against Pogacar (if on a different team) and Vingegaard and he's not coming close. He's a tier 3 guy at best who needs a route with a ton of TT Kms and for the climbs to be more diesel climbs (so Tour suits him better there). In the Giro and Vuelta where climbs tend to be steeper, I'm not sure he's even following your Landa, Mas, Vlasov level guys never mind the top tier.

Any route that favours him, also favours Remco a lot too, or even someone like Foss who I'd have him in the same category as for a GT guy.

ITTs are slightly more fun with Tudor's random-time generator

I don't think anybody was putting him in the Pogacar/Vingegaard level lol, just a potential top 10/5 if the time is right.

 

[Netserk]

Kuss to set new best time.

 

[Didinho]

Arensman changed helmet.

Thomas also I think, you will not want to ride this climb with this ufo.

And now you see Van Wilder with this 5kg helmet.

Bouwman's going to do a good time after being nowhere for most of the race too so who knows what's going on.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Kuss is flying right now, let’s see how that holds up to the final three.

 

[Brullnux]

Surely timing is not as hard as tudor are making it seem

 

[Valv.Piti]

Van Wilder can't be a very bright young man.

Aero above everything lol.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Van Wilder wearing Dark Helmet's lid from Spaceballs. Nicely done.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Kuss should've gone for GC

 

[noob]

Yay Kuss! I've never seen him so spent looking

 

[trevim]

Quite happy to finally see a portuguese in the podium of a GT (I'm not old enough to have seen Agostinho).

Speaks a lot of Almeida quality that it's not even a surprise, perhaps even a bitter taste of victory that is so close but (probably) not going to get it.

Realistically he has some limitations (explosiveness, positioning/descending skills) that are needed for GT winner level. He also has time on his side and a podium, stage win and white jersey is a awesome Giro!

 

[HelloDolly]

what a climber Sepp Kuss is ...probably best in the Giro

But not a GC rider which is a pity

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Bravissimo Sepp!
Four American dudes in the top 10 right now on the stage what is happening

 

[perico]

Hell of a rider by Kuss (And McNulty too)
