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

looks like they only publish Top 10 on TV and then the full result online in the end.

Looks like no proper results for a long time is going to be the norm. TDF so much better, especially with tracking.

Yeah, its really terrible. TdF works like a charm, you'd think you would be able to make something somewhat similar here, but waiting 30 minutes for a top-10 GC or top-50 on the stage or whatever is just... horrible!

It was good to see Bling go a bit early in the finish, instead of waiting - Today we saw the best and worst of Jayco - They are one team which offers UNCONDITIONAL support for their leader, however at times they work too much and lack that second option - Anyway, I expect to see Bling in a break or two further in this Giro.

You'd think that by now the team would have worked a bit on Almeida's descending skills, at least on the technical standpoint. When the road goes downhill he looks like a granny sitting in a shopping cart.

What Matthews can do when he gets his positioning right. His type of stage finish.

 

[Bonimenier]

Did Almeida come back?

Last time they showed him he was pretty much at the back of the group so I would think so.

He was involved in a crash and there isnt enough information to know if that was his fault or not... Last years giro was terrible yes, but he had plenty of fine descents since then. So id wait for the first real mountains with the final verdict... Its definately possible he still sucks going downhill though

 

[movingtarget]

Top 10 finish for Roglic. Looks like Pinot is going to have a run at the KOM jersey.

 

[Bonimenier]

Stage 3 and we already have our final podium on 1 2 3

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Will they update the GC before the start tomorrow, or should we start timing the riders ourselves from now on?

How often does that scenario play out before your eyes?

 

[Tour de Berghem]

I think that change from Tissot to Tudor as official timekeeper was not a good choice

I didn't see Dekker there. Bargauil and Russo where the 2 guys not working

there was a 4th guy for a while, but that must have been Guernalec based on his result, yeah. Dekker finished almost last. So it was for Barguil indeed.

 

[Tonton]

This bike race is officially over: Tibo Pantanot has entered the building and is showing the bag. Remco, Primoz, you're done...

 

[tobydawq]

Full result already up.

 

[RedheadDane]

How often does that scenario play out before your eyes?

Also, if you send her downhill, I actually think it could be pretty fast.
Please! Do not send your granny downhill in a shopping cart! Nor anyone else's granny, for matter. If anyone does, I will not be held responsible.

 

[Red Rick]

Jumbo sprinted with 3 guys.

They came to this Giro to survive relegation

 

[pastronef]

polemics at the Processo @RaiSport today. they say the peloton let the 2 Corratec go away, even the 2 riders were baffled, Konyshev shook his head, no teams joined. the Rai guy argued about the low level of wild card teams getting easily invited, the too long flat stages, more bonuses on climbs, too boring stages for 160 km as today, etc #GirodItalia

Does anyone know the identity of the Astana rider that gave Remco the egg? I don't recognise him.

Granny talk should be conducted in the clinic

Velasco

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic really wanted to go for it, might be why he didn't really try to beat Evenepoel at the intermediate.

Kinda funny how easily he looked coasting the wheels when he got boxed in compared to the other guys next to him.

Has Tudor been in charge of GTs or any major races in the past? (Sorry, I am not aware.)

If they havent... they will hopefully see the feedback and try to work on it. I dont know how long these sort things can take to fix or whats needed to become more accurate/faster.

It was a sprint that suits MM perfectly, but actually delivering is a different beast.

Congrats MM!
