Giro d’Italia 2024, Stage 12: Martinsicuro – Fano, 193.0k

[Tricycle Rider]

Wow, massive chapeau to Ala, good to see him back and on getting his first stage win in the Giro!

This has been such an awesome stage, had me sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time.

 

[Didinho]

Give him the pink jersey already. What a ride! And he’s just training for the Tour.

 

[scribers]

Yeah! I knew he could do it!!!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Great sportsmanship shown from Scaroni not sprinting for 4th, Vino will be fuming

 

[Netserk]

46.8 km/h by the duo breakaway, mostly.

Everyone quickly delete your posts from the first few pages of the thread and lets pretend like it never happened

That was beautiful

Alaphilippe, bro, what are you doing?

Didn't pay attention for a minute. What the *** is Alaphilipe doing?

So exasperating to watch Alaphilippe.

Alaphilippe Masterclass, he is literally in the lead, the first guy on the road, and people are complaining. If nobody overtakes him he will win the stage

Spot the difference

Lovely to see how many riders are congratulating Alaphilippe, looking genuinely happy for him.

 

[Izzyeviel]

I hope he has a beer to celebrate...

In honour of Alaphilippe I will start swerving a lot more on my commuting rides!

Nice ride from Alaphilipe! Had the perfect companion in Maestri! Tactically, Ineos and specifically Narvaez really threw it away! Narvaez attacking in a descent when the deficit was already enormous. Stupid move, you had Ganna who you should have always had with you to minimize the lead on the flat parts. Now everyone looked at Narvaez who also had to do most of the work in the pursuit.

Spot the difference

Three are an expression of not understanding him and one is a truism.

Possibly my favorite Ala stage win, considering where he's come back from.

 

[Alien Performance]

Want to see Maestri and Julian together post stage

Legendary ride from Alaphilippe. Bravo!

Today he shows that he will still be a force to be reckon with in the Olympics and Worlds.

Wow what a win!

 

[Laplaz]

What a massive ride by Alaphilippe. Gotta love the fools!

 

[Gigs_98]

Massively reminding me of Sagans first Giro stage win in 2020

Chapeau Alaphilippe & a mentioned in dispatches for his breakaway teammate Maestri. The chasers messed around and missed out. So as it was GC wise and Friday's pan flat stage means it'll be full gas TT on Saturday.

I want to see his Christmas gift!
Very happy for Ala. He went from long way. He still has it. Chapeau.

Alaphillipe showing that bombing amphetamine before a race still works wonderfully as race prep

Legendary ride from Alaphilippe. Bravo!

Don't worry. Ned Boulting already anointed him the winner.
