Giro d'Italia 2023 Giro d'Italia, Stage 4: Venosa – Lago Laceno 175 km (Tuesday, May 9th)

[DNP-Old]

QuickStep dropping like flies on the first bump, makes their decision to keep drilling in order to hold the gap around 4/5 minutes all the more baffling.

 

[red_flanders]

If Albanese can set a good tempo he can make it back as they might attack each other.

Remco isolated :O

Not a problem for today I think, but for the rest of the race that’s worrisome for them.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Evenepoel needs to find a big team that can give him the support he needs, can't blame a team like, er, Soudal for not having the domestiques to support him in 30-rider GC groups.

 

[Scarponi]

Team Sky vibes

 

[Valv.Piti]

Flawless Ineos execution, classic.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Masnada sickness is really crippled them

 

[Samamba]

Leknessund is incredibly strong today.

 

[noob]

Every other team helping Remco
Cmon Leknesund

 

[johnymax]

It looks like a pretty hard climb. Hopefully something happens in the peloton.

 

[DNP-Old]

Aesthetically speaking this looks almost worse than Mauri.

 

[Salvarani]

I thought van Welder was the next great Belgian stage race superstar

Almost as good as Remco some said.

 

[Samamba]

First breakaway win in a WT stage this year.

Leknessund to be in pink after this stage.

Shouldve put money on this ffs

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Leknessund basically at the end of the steep section, doesn't look like any GC rider wants to do anything. Bit underwhelming...

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hugh Carthy and Fabio Aru nodding in approval

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I like the grinta from the breakaway guys . Really pushing , this means a lot

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Ineos working for Remco, it's all good.

They want to keep him in pink

 

[BR2]

Okay, seriously, what is Ineos doing? Why do they not attack with one of their riders?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The GC riders are literally racing more defensively than the 2012 peloton did on this climb, that's a very bad sign.

 

[Samamba]

Why is Paret Peintre doing turns???? Hello? Stay in the wheel for 3km and just win the sprint.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Flawless Ineos execution, classic.

But who are they working for? Remco or Roga?

 

[Tim Cahill]

They're working to keep him in pink on purpose so he has to muck about doing media duties and domestique work.

It's harsh on Leknessund etc but Evenepoel is too strong, I suppose you have to find ways to screw with him.

 

[johnymax]

Rogla looks very, very easy. Well, so is Remco.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Why is Paret Peintre doing turns???? Hello? Stay in the wheel for 3km and just win the sprint.

Maybe they make a deal. Leknesend say to paret pantre 'help me make sure the gap stays above 2 minute and you win this stage '

 

[Didinho]

Offcourse I forgot to change my reserve list for this stage on the Sporza Giromanager. Leknessund not getting any points. Could've had the 4 stage wins right.

Group 2 35s behind. Should normally be between those two for the win
