Gijs Leemreize wheelsucking for Alaphilippe

 

[Tricycle Rider]

20km to go, oooof, this is intense!

 

[Netserk]

Max 3 riders need to go clear immediately on the hill in the chase group.

 

[saunaking]

amazing Giro so far, totally doesn't matter the final result is so obvious. Great racing. *** the 2023 edition!

Wtf are Bahrain doing?

 

[Netserk]

Strong wind.

Wtf are Bahrain doing?

If Tiberi doesn‘t go full gas often enough, he‘s going to start shooting cats again.

 

[SafeBet]

Wtf are Bahrain doing?

Entertaining us.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Been tuning in and out so couldn't really follow. Why are Bahrain seemingly pulling like crazy when there's no GC guy ahead and the stage is well out of reach?

 

[Rob5091]

Tiberi to have a dig on the last climb?

 

[pastronef]

I just don't want Hermans to win. nothing against him, just not a VDP/Alpecin fan.

Hirt's is in group 3, but the distance is negligible so who knows, maybe they try to loose someone who's struggeling in the wind.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

However this turns out it's great seeing a break work so well together. (Chapeau to Ala and Maestri both.)

 

[Netserk]

Hirt group has been caught.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Nope, because GC teams have no reason to chase.

Again dude, I don't understand what you're talking about. You claimed hours ago that the break is doomed because Hirt and Pozzo are there.

My point was that even though the break wins and Bahrain just controls the gap. Which they did, the gap between the leader and the peloton was a constant 6 minutes. The two fools just missed the winning move and their group was not being driven by anyone.

Ala and Maestri gained/not lost time all the last climbs, let's see what this one brings. Hope Ala can still go wild.

 

[Sciatic]

Last climb should be deciding—here it is

 

[Netserk]

Here we go!

 

[Didinho]

Vamooos! It’s happening.

Narvaez will have to put a stage 1 performance on this climb if he wants to win.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Go go go Ala!

 

[Volderke]

Chasing group is not exactly riding full to catch them. They're all waiting for that climb it seems.
It's the first time I tune in on a Giro stage and it's a good one to do so.

 

[tobydawq]

He'll win today! Allez Julian!

 

[RedheadDane]

Good LuLu is back!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Allez Julian!

 

[Netserk]

They are not catching him.
