Giro d'Italia 2023 Giro d'Italia, Stage 19: Longarone – Tre Cime di Lavaredo 183 km (Friday, May 26th)

this is the kind of stage you have to download and save in your HD or Cloud, not for the race, but for the landscape

I hope and believe they have a plan. I'm just a bit annoyed we probably won't see GC contenders contending for a stage win again. Although is still far from a done deal for the break.

they surely have a plan, but maybe he doesn't have the legs....he seems not at his best and to be conserving for tt. but we never really know and can only guess from experience of watching. i know it hasn't been as exciting as we like but he seems injured/sick, and just recently had surgery so will have to hope for the best. when i said you don't know...neither do i

This is pathetic.

Throw back to the Tre Cime stage in 2007, on the Passo Giau where Julio Perez took the Devils trident behind Ricco and Piepoli, mems

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Cav back in the GC group, lol

 

[staubsauger]

Gosh, these fornicators are truly going to contemn the Dolomites!?

 

[Samamba]

I feel like apart from Pogacar and Vingegaard not a single GC rider wants stage wins anymore. Well, and Landa, but he choses GTs where he gets beaten by one of the 2 then.

 

[ashhutch1997]

You know it's bad, I'm actually looking forward to the Giro E finale lol

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hopefully Egan Bernal will return to top form because I can't see Vingegaard/Pogacar racing the Giro any time soon.

Maybe Simon Yates will come back next year and not end up with some mystery ailment.

I think the climbing ITT tomorrow kills a lot of motivation for today.

Pretty sure Pog will soon. And given how these last two Giros have been ridden I'm pretty sure he'll slaughter everyone.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Great. Great, great stuff!

I didnt miss much again, did I? I hurried home for no reason it seems!

Surely stuff happens on Giau...

 

[Didinho]

The scenery. Wanna book a bike vacation there immediately.

 

[ashhutch1997]

I have a small amount of hope someone will do something on the Giau........ PLEASE

I‘m on a hiking trip in the Rhine valley and I‘m escaping being so angry, it‘s amazing.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Jayco have taken 10 seconds on the break. Are you not entertained?

 

[Samamba]

I'm one of the guys who doesn't really like full on dominance by a Pog or Vingegaard, but it's 10 times better than this. They actually try to win.

I won't complain next time Pog wins 5 stages in a row with 50km solo's as I know it could be worse.

 

[ashhutch1997]

Pretty sure Pog will soon. And given how these last two Giros have been ridden I'm pretty sure he'll slaughter everyone.

Ahhhh the second coming of Basso in 2006 Giro

I get that Jumbo are probably hesitant to make the race hard early as that might not suit Roglic. But they're the only team that still has all riders and they've done feck all to get anyone in the move these last weeks to at least put some pressure on the other GC guys.
And what's worse, they're gifting another stage away to the breakaway. Surely Roglic doesn't care if he finishes 2nd or 3rd? There's no way he drops down to 4th so might as well try to go for bonus seconds? I don't get this at all.

 

[SafeBet]

Here comes the Giau 😍

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Pöstlberger is crushing the peloton

Well, the one stage they did make the race hard and chase the breakaway all day, Roglic got dropped and the bonus seconds went to Thomas and Almeida. So there you have your reason.

 

[gunara]

Imagine a GT with no other real contender is more aggressive than Primoz Roglic...

 

[Red Rick]

UAE is objectively the team that has 0 excuses

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

I miss Louis Meintjes
