Giro d'Italia Giro d‘Italia 2024 Stage 15, Manerba del Garda-Livigno (Mottolino), 222 km

[Tim Cahill]

Foss needs to drop back and pace Thymen Arensman into the break, unless he thinks that he's beating some 40 kilo Colombians on a 5500m climbing stage to altitude.

 

[Red Rick]

There is a giant Arensman sized hole in the breakaway

Caleb seems to be a better climber than sprinter nowadays.
🤣

He's fed up and transforms into a GC rider, so everyone really has to work for him all the time.

So 2:20 to close for Geschke now. Would say, since this had to be ridden fast from the 2nd group, that the group on top will be much smaller.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

You can easily double your money by going all-in on Pog's win

 

[QueenStagiaire]

At least there‘s Polti bringing Piganzoli into the GC.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Roglic dropping Pogacar on Loze being forgotten on this thread, not only that but people are engaging in UCI-style Superman Lopez erasure.

 

[AmRacer]

Boring stage, eh?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Bardiani FAIL?
leaving pozzovivo by himself in the GC group

 

[ppanther92]

Geschke seems to go backward a bit now

But they have taken 30 seconds

But they have taken 30 seconds

Yes, they should be able to catch the front, simply based on the climbing strength. But just saying Geschke slips back in the chasing group it seems.

UAE definitely not forcing it, Milan is still there

 

[Tim Cahill]

Imagine not getting in a break on the queen stage when Caleb Ewan is up front looking comfortable

This is a proper climb, too.

 

[Salvarani]

Bjerg, Oliveira, Molano and Laengen in the front of the peloton. These probably try to all get over the climb to then work together towards Mortirolo. Maybe Laengen and Bjerg a bit into the climb as well.

Pog sitting with Novak, Grosschartner and Majka behind Ineos.

Think its a very sensible approach. Its not like Rubio and Storer take minutes on them right now and would not be bad to have Majka, Großschartner, and Novak fresh for Mortirolo.

 

[Salvarani]

This is a very nice climb.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

At least UAE is dropping the sprinters making for a tough day for guys like Milan.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

UAE definitely not forcing it, Milan is still there

They're just riding at a pace so that Molano and Oliveira can be with them after the climb for help.

 

[Peyroteo94]

5 minutes is the goal for UAE. Under 5 minutes after this climb, they can win.

Pellizzari 🥰

Kid is only 20?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Trees, trees and mountains everywhere! That plus the peloton, what a glorious scene.

 

[ppanther92]

Kid is only 20?

Yes, but was quite invisible compared to Piganzoli or Riccittello last year so far, considering those are his Avenir peers. So good that today he is on the attack.
