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

Well, it would have been a bit too much for Thomas to bag two GTs.

 

[dgodave]

Od course we can. In a 1x drivetrain when you ride the biggest cog in the back, the chain so much crossed that even a little bump can make it drop (just as we saw)

Doesnt the deeper tooth chainring mitigate that?

One couldn't have written a more beautiful script, Roglic takes it on the last day in a mountain time trial

shame about the classy fans on the roadside, giving Thomas the finger

I could write a more beautiful script than this 1/10 race.

Geraint Chokemas.

Just rode exactly on his level

 

[Valv.Piti]

His teammates congratulate Rog as if they played any role in the victory

XD

Kuss did though, lets be fair to the lad.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Oh damn, Leknessund 1s away from overtaking Dunbar.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Thomas
Tanked

Engine failure

 

[dazaau]

What a rollercoaster. Poor G. So feel for him. But he has the tour. Something roglic is now unlikely to get and it would have been wrong for someone like Rog to only have vueltas in his GT palmares

I'm talking about this stage only.

I have to agree, but to be honest if he had another couple of digs when he was clearly the best uphill, he would have won it comfortably...

 

[vwpe]

those that know from the stage thread yesterday i itold you all Roglic would win it today,.,,,been chat around the fields about roglic hes been pacing himself to the never go in red every stage to go nuclear hear...even with beeing unlucky he smashed it. Deserved victory Primoz, chapeau!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

At least he saved his teammates for the Rome stage.

 

[limak_]

Maybe to some extent. But it's not much deeper. The chain wouldn't allow that

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

God is great. He doesn't deserve the win

I'm going to save this post forever. How do those grapes taste?

 

[Põhja Konn]

This Giro really didn't deserve that kind of good drama in the end. Gives far too good a chance to gloss over the s**tshow that took place for much of the race and justify the backloading. At least Roglic and his fans got a bit of redemption for what happened three years ago at the Tour.

 

[bigcog]

Think it was literally just the legs. Thomas is not as good as Roglic on the super steep stuff

Yep that's what I thought, Roglic will take time on Thomas on steep stuff.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

His teammates congratulate Rog as if they played any role in the victory

Tell me you don't know who Sepp Kuss is without telling me you don't know who Sepp Kuss is.

 

[Panda Claws]

Thomas rode a decent TT

Roglic just way better than all others today. Impressive effort.

If you take Almeida as a measuring stick, Roglic's effort enters Pogacar/Vingegaard territory.

Why are we expecting Thomas to be capable of efforts within that tier?

 

[Jan the Man]

Geraint Chokemas.

Ridiculous comment- how old are you?

Roglic on a super day- too good for everybody. You either have the legs or you don’t fully deserved win by Roglic but to say he ‘choked’ is ridiculous.

 

[Bolder]

The STOMP of this century!!!

I am so happy for Roglic. Winning a GT the same way he lost one...You couldn't write a better ending.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Also Roglic will win tomorrow, just a well educated guess from inner circles, run to the bookies.

Who's winning the Tour mate?

 

[KOM]

Riccotelli 11th in the end with 1:56min back, these performances halfway through are always impossible to interpret correctly. Still a strong effort by him though of course

 

[Tim Cahill]

Kuss pulling him when he had his bad moment might've won him the race in the end.

He choked.

Sepp played a vital role for sure.
