Giro d'Italia Giro d‘Italia 2025 Stage 7, Castel di Sangro-Tagliacozzo, 168k

[Sciatic]

Abruzzo is renowned in Italy for arrosticini, lamb skewers which are normally cooked on a specific grill.
Whenever the Giro passes through this region you'll see riders, team cars and media being offered this delicacy, especially in the mountains.
Also, Abruzzo is stunning and you should all visit in case you travel to Italy. It's very likely the least touristic region in the whole country, it's cheap and it's wild.

I'm going!!

The break should be fairly easy to control in the next 50 km. I dont see why Roglic would not want the win today.

 

[dgodave]

That guy was wearing a rather fetching cap!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Not sure getting slow-mo action shots of Scaroni taking some tablets is the best of looks, give it half an hour and he will be flying up those climbs!

The break should be fairly easy to control in the next 50 km. I dont see why Roglic would not want the win today.

There should also be the usual sprint into the base of the climb. Also, 4-5% climbs are a bigger nightmare for breaks than a steeper one because the GC leaders draft more.

Only saving grace I see is tailwind finale for the break.

Garzelli: "Simon Yates is a rider who knows how to loose a Giro."
Shots fired.

I wonder about Lidl trek riding at the front. I doubt vacek can beat Roglic on this climb.

Ciccone also exists and has outsprinted Roglič before……

Pedersen doing the "Well, I'm losing the jersey, so I better pull" move?

It dooms the break now that Trek is upping the pace

Gaudu crashed as well and hurt his right hand, it's bleeding and he's holding his hand.

Hope he's okay. It's his goodbye race, right?

Dauphiné will be his goodbye race, but it's his goodbye GT. If he really doesn't ride the Tour.

 

[Sciatic]

Dauphiné.

Ah, thanks.

 

[titan31]

Suppose if we're lucky and Bardet drops out, maybe he'll ride the Tour instead
