All former Prati di Tivo winners went on to win Grand Tours, so it's about time that he steps up a bit.
Wow, I bet Nibali must be really regretting not wearing skinsuits and not investing more money into aero bike frames

Astana leading the race before l'Aquila certainly brings up nice memories.

That seems like a bit of a tactical botch up by UAE. Not that they couldn't win the stage, but more that they didn't allow Yates to take second.

Lutsenko is always a beast in this time of the year.
For me even more impressive than Lutsenko's performance is Ulissi being the best of the UAE riders.

Ok, when carton Kirby starts hyping Paul double as a threat to Pogacar in week 3, this time it's justified

I did get 2015 vibes when they were leading the peloton at the beginning of the climb today.
The clown gives it his all in the 2.1 races, but on the Monument he doesn't even make the slightest effort for the team leader
Quite funny though, after his mediocre pull for Pogacar in San Remo, seeing this described as 'the greatest 2.1 climbing performance of all time'.
Though I doubt that's true, the conditions were excellent for this sort of W/KG effort. I remember an Alarcon one in some kind of furnace-level 50 degree heat where they had the local firemen dotted on the mountain hosing everyone down because it was too hot where he absolutely torched the field, it might've been Penhas da Saúde in 2018 but I can't find the video.

The peloton is flying these last years and they are beating speed records day in day out.
Today's stage was very funny to watch it. The more interesting Prati di Tivo climb I remember.
It was engaging to see Lutsenko managing all the attacks of the UAE army and beaten them at the end of the stage. He is such a rough rider and he always has a succesfull part in each season.
Tomorrow stage will be worth to watch it. UAE should attack back and forth trying to let Lutsenko behind, but the Astana one is on fire and he is smart tactically. He knows how to move in such a dangerous situation.

Ulissi has a 15 year long history of fading after 200k. It's hardly his fault that his team still hasn't noticed

First win back after his suspension. Those beautiful days where if there was a hilly giro stage in week 1, you knew ulissi would take it
He doesn‘t always fade though, or he just retains his sprint.

All good things must end so today, Friday is the last stage of Giro dÄbruzzo. Stage 4 Montorio al Valmano to L'Aquila 173 km,start 10.45 CET, TV from 13.50 CET.
Hardly a flat piece of road all day, but no really tough climbs. Expect fast and furious from UAE and Lutsenko trying to hold on.

Fading? He was third best UAE rider, just two minutes behind the winner, ahead of Del Toro and Covi, who stayed with Pog. He went to MSR to prepare for Coppi-Bartali.

Ulissi's ambition seems to be to do well on home ground.
Those places oltre la frontiera don't count much.
