[RedheadDane]

Break looks about to be caught.
Less than 40 Ks to go.

The whole top 5 of the points' competition has first names beginning with J:

Juan
Jonathan
Jonas
Jasper
Jai

A record of sorts?

 

[RedheadDane]

Not looking good...

 

[Rob5091]

Carapaz takes a tumble and does not look good. Hope nothing serious.

 

[Didinho]

Sketchy last km.

 

[scribers]

Kirby just hitting his speedball

 

[Netserk]

Good finish.

 

[Didinho]

Milan strong. Consonni saved it for him.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Milan hates Norway.

 

[Red Rick]

Kristoff leading out the sprint after Warenskjold does a reverse leadout?

 

[Salvarani]

Consonni to the rescue!

Great work in the end.

 

[RedheadDane]

Milan takes it.
Wærenskjold and Kristoff tried to do the "let the leadout go" trick.

 

[Salvarani]

Kristoff leading out the sprint after Warenskjold does a reverse leadout?

Kristoff let him go. Almost worked tbf.

 

[KZD]

What a win for Milan, he is looking one of the fastest sprints in the world.

Smart move from Uno-X, if it wasn't for Consonni, Wærenskjold could have won.

 

[Red Rick]

Not sure what happened to Philipsen there. Was that a 2024 Roglic imitation?

 

[Salvarani]

Philipsen didnt have it at all there.

 

[Brullnux]

Milan very very strong, seems to 'get' bunch sprints more than he used to. Two or three wins at the Giro the aim?

 

[Netserk]

Not sure what happened to Philipsen there. Was that a 2024 Roglic imitation?

Alpecin megapeak for the classics.

 

[Rob5091]

Ha, said Milan had the monster sprint. What happened to that guy Philipsen?

 

[jmdirt]

Milan!

He needs his own thread!

 

[125C]

Milan!

He needs his own thread!

He'll get one once he wins his eponymous monument

The usual waste of time final stage thanks to the organisers obsession with San Benedetto Del Tronto which offers no real possibilities for Paris-Nice final day style shenanigans.

So annoying.

A big city that depends on tourism and has been willing to host the final stage for all editions of the race, afaik. You don't give that up.

The final day ITT was great, and of course well suited to when it finished on a Tuesday.

 

[Red Rick]

Should easily be some good enough climbs nearby to make it a good stage though, even if it's not the ITT anymore
