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

[Netserk]

It's the wrong Bais on the move, Pinot will be happy.

 

[Red Rick]

What an absolute ass breakaway

Buitrago about the only person of interest in that break. Not even a battle of KOM here

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Fun to see Contador cheering on the riders from the motorbike

Gee could theoretically still take the jersey if he wins all points today (+166) and Pinot nothing

 

[Netserk]

12 riders in front, 3 chasing. Peloton is still going slow.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Buitrago must be on a good day to ride across on his own on a flattish section

 

[KOM]

Lol they really use Maltodextrin? Amateurs...

 

[Red Rick]

So Giau.

Over/under 5 W/kg

Simon Gerrans agreeing with Ineos' apparent conservative approach to today's stage, to "play it safe".

Just thought the forum might like to know.

 

[Netserk]

Grande Healy! If a bit late ...

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Healy decides to strike while the gap is still a manageable 5 mins...

 

[Samamba]

Healy just destroying Pinots top 10 by doing this. No way Pinot is letting him go and no way Ineos will let Pinot go.

Also 5'30... A bit late

 

[titan31]

That is dumb

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Healy trying something interesting

 

[johnymax]

Ben Healy, what a legend!

 

[HelloDolly]

That is dumb

No its not dumb ... He has no alternative so he has to do it if he wants to win the KOM

Also now Pinot has to decide between KOM and top 10 GC

 

[Netserk]

He is 63 points behind, he needs to catch the break before the top of Valparola.

 

[Samamba]

Thbere's like 35 guys left in the peloton and 20 of them are from 3 teams...

Realistically though what else can Ineos do other than be defensive - they have the maglia rosa and all of four domestiques. Sticking Arensman in the break would be chaotic but would it really help their cause? Thomas hasn't looked like Roglic is going to drop him so far

[Stasat]

[Netserk]

[Skalman]
