Giro d'Italia 2023 Giro d'Italia, Stage 3: Vasto – Melfi 216 km (Monday, May 8th)

[Samamba]

Anyone know if Mayrhoffer is still there or did DSM drop their own sprinter?

 

[StryderHells]

Zana is in great form clearly

And now he’s back on the front, hopefully he gets a chance to go for a stage later in the race.

He's there.

 

[Jungle Cycle]

F#%*@ing SRAM...

 

[Carols]

I jinxed Magnus

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Just noticed the TV graphics say 'lenght' for the climbs, amateur hour yet again.

 

[DNP-Old]

Jayco is so invested in trying to drop as many sprinters as possible, that they might not have any men left to do the sprint. I would like my chances, as a late attacker.

 

[Gigs_98]

I'm just here hoping anyone will at least try to attack. Else this will be a complete snoozefest

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pace looks lower than on the previous climb, either Matthews is closer to his limit than he thought or Jayco have realised they need people for the run-in.

 

[Samamba]

Covi not looking good

 

[Samamba]

Pedersen is in throuble

 

[glassmoon]

Mads

 

[Tour de Berghem]

Why are Jayco pacing at the front when there is no certainty Matthews will get over the final climbs - I hope they have a back up plan.

I think that I were right

 

[Samamba]

McNulty really bad

 

[DNP-Old]

McNulty is an enigma.

 

[Tim Cahill]

I think Mads will make it back because there is nobody left to pace properly on the front

Maybe even the 50s group, they are descending like Zakarin

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pedersen should make it back but that's still not ideal.

 

[Didinho]

Mads not far away. He'll come back.

 

[ppanther92]

So McNulty didnt bring his climbing legs.

 

[Samamba]

Mads should be able to come back if Jayco doesnt get help, but not a good sign.

 

[titan31]

Trek should get back really

 

[Samamba]

He's there.

You sure? Haven't seen more than 2 DSM's the last 10 min. And 1 is definitely Leknessund and my guess is that Vanhoucke is the 2nd one.

Maybe I missed the 3rd, could be.

 

[Landeirovic]

So McNulty didnt bring his climbing legs.

Mcnulty go for stage wins... him said this already before the giro..

 

[Andy schleck]

Poor route.

 

[DNP-Old]

You sure? Haven't seen more than 2 DSM's the last 10 min. And 1 is definitely Leknessund and my guess is that Vanhoucke is the 2nd one.

I'm fairly certain I saw him coming through on Monticchio, but I don't know if he survived La Croce too.
