Giro d'Italia 2023 Giro d'Italia, Stage 9: Savignano sul Rubicone – Cesena 35 km ITT (Sunday, May 14th)

If you are asymptomatic, can you stay in the race ? do you need to be tested ?
I mean, sure it is dangerous for the body (elevated risk of pericarditis or myocarditis), but if you do know it ? or if the test is done badly (lots of false negatives with the nose test, even by a professionnal).

It's completely up to the team. There are no rules by UCI or RCS.

Ok, so it is quite a lottery.

 

[Didinho]

What about the pink jersey for the next stage? Nobody wears it? Or G?

Top 3 within 5 seconds now.
Almeida only 22sec behind.

Man, what a massive blow for the race.

I would think nobody wears it next stage since it's a DNS and not a DNF today.

 

[Carols]

This feels like a fitting explanation to me <3
I've already said he's the John McNroe of cycling so

That's a cover of The Who's 1971 hit. Great song. How it relates to Remco I don't know.
But now I feel sorry for him, out of the race with covid

If it wasn't for the rest day, normally no one would wear pink on Tuesday. I don't know if a leader has left on a rest day before.

I think so. Technically he is still in the race until he fails to sign in on Tuesday morning, and it's too late for Thomas to go and get changed then.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Well, that sucked.

 

[cen]

Noooooooooo! The worst possible outcome. We are robbed.

 

[Armchair cyclist]

Save me looking it up: what is the gap between Evenepoel and you?

In response to my own question, I hope it is big ennough to prevent contagion.

Did anyone wear the ciclamino on stage 4 of the 2014 Giro after Kittel decided the three Irish stages were enough for him? That should be a decent indicator.

 

[Panda Claws]

All I know is that they didn't wear yellow when Rasmussen was taken out of the 2007 Tour by his team

 

[Izzyeviel]

Two riders separated by one second in a 35km TT, both with different ideas on how to wear their helmet... well visor.

 

[awavey]

fwiw Lisa Brennauer wore the yellow leaders jersey to start the day after Lizzie Deignan, who was technically the race leader having won the first stage, DNS'd the second stage at the Womens Tour in 2015. I suspect its down to the race organisation what they do, rather than a hard rule set by the UCI.

THis sucks so bad, but Ineos vs Rog could be pretty *** awesome

 

[Savant12]

Really disappointing news: we didn't get to see Remco vs Pog in LBL and now no 3 weeks of Remco vs Rog.

 

[Izzyeviel]

THis sucks so bad, but Ineos vs Rog could be pretty *** awesome

Tao's not going to attack Roglic

 

[noob]

Noooooo I'm SO SAD NOW

*** covid

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Tao's not going to attack Roglic

Do you live in an alternate reality where the 2020 Stelvio stage never happened? In addition, TGH has won this race before, it makes no sense for him (nor Ineos in general) to settle for second.

 

[saunaking]

Tao's not going to attack Roglic

we'll see. G probably wont!!!

TGH can wait for the final TT and show his dominance there haha

 

[Wvv]

Evenepoel not ok, there's something wrong.

Hate to be right (so much).

 

[Rob5091]

Well that explains Remco's form and is a mjor blow to the race. Hart to win his second Covid blighted Giro?

Nope, I'm living in one where the last time Tao attacked the GC in a grand tour, he gained 4 metres in 3 seconds then promptly finished ten minutes behind them. & thats before we get to such classics as 'this is Ineos we're talking about' & 'losing to Hindley on the stelvio stage doesn't mean he's going to put time on Roglic'

ineos haven't been able to use their skytrain for a while now in grand tours, they ain't going to miss the opportunity to bring it back.
