Giro d'Italia Giro d‘Italia 2025, Stage 12, Modena-Viadana, 172 km

[QueenStagiaire]

A six-way sprint, on this finish?

What did you expect, there was no strong leadout possible to string it out when everybody kills their team 2k out.

Brian Holm thinks Wout's performance today was better than into Siena...

 

[Boehmand]

Never realised Turner was that fast - pretty cool!

Probably was.

Brian Holm thinks Wout's performance today was better than into Siena...

He had to compete with zero other leadouts here, nobody was even trying to pass him.

 

[tobydawq]

Probably was.

It was not

How can you even say that and expect to be taken seriously?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Van Undies with a great leadout for Kooij.

 

[Red Rick]

Van Aert should get relegated for celberating too early there.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Weak sprint field, Kooij a bit lucky Van Uden went early because it gave him the perfect finish after WVA was done.

I don't.

I can handle being the gospel of truth in the face of mockery.

You could say he has a pretty good... turn-of-speed...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

What did you expect, there was no strong leadout possible to string it out when everybody kills their team 2k out.

I didn't expect there to be a grand total of one leadout man left with 600 metres to go. That was an uncharacteristically awful job by most teams, all too scared of going too late so they all went too early.

On the plus side, that did limit the speed going into the final corner...

Ben Turner in third in this field is nuts.

Has shown before that he's got a very good long sprint though, and is excellent at finding himself in the right position. One of the great leadout men, just missing a fast-man to finish it off.

 

[Netserk]

Reduced peloton after the crash, but after they removed the traffic island, the final corner was completely fine.

 

[Samamba]

Van Uden is a weird sprinter. He seems really good in long sprints.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Ok, I agree. It made no sense that they rode so fast at a time where you still had 2 kilometers to move up as long as you kept your teammates. On the other hand, if you‘re at the front as a team at 3k to go, there‘s no way that you can decide to go backwards and try again a kilometer later.

 

[noob]

Was Kooij eaten up by mosquitos? :O

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Reduced peloton after the crash, but after they removed the traffic island, the final corner was completely fine.

The issue was mostly the 5k straight road right before the decisive corner, not the fact that there was a corner.

 

[yaco]

Due to various circumstsances such as extremely technical finishes or wet conditions I can't get my head around the sprinters. Would like to see a finish where there is a non-technical last three kilometres

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

I think he might have been referring to the strength he showed, rather than the result. Wout does seem to be coming into his legs right now, which is nice to see.

Nice to see him remembrering he is Wout *** van Aert

UAE Tour is in February

They're all mid

What happened? Why have Carapaz and Derek Gee moved up in the GC?
Is this a PCS mistake?

Groves lost the wheel, game over. He did well to get as close as he did. Nice win by Kooij.

There was a crash involving a Polti rider inside 3k to go so I think they just haven't updated it to reflect the cancelling of time gaps yet.
