Giro d'Italia Giro d’Italia 2024, Stage 19: Mortegliano - Sappada, 157k

Lmao Sanchez attacks him and sits up immidiately after already taking plenty of fake pulls in the group before.

Edit: Now actually gets a gap!

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

Alaphilipe and Narvarez were only 9 secs behind him at one point and sat up 🙈🙈🙈

 

[Sciatic]

Good for Vendrame, though disappointed as I was looking forward to this group of puncheurs battling to the finish.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Imagine how good Sanchez would be if he didn‘t do 30 1000W accelerations a stage.

 

[Tim Cahill]

No Pulls Pelayo going on the attack as expected

 

[YavorD]

Pelayo Sanchez is so strong in this Giro. When I think that last year I compared Froome pre-2011 to him...so unfair to the guy.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Looks like Decathlon ag2r actually brought a really really good team, shame O'Connor can't do *** as a GC rider.

 

[PetPaima]

Kudos to Vendrame for even surviving the original Ala attack to form the nucleus of the break. He was the only one out of that doomed flat part breakaway group who never lost his place at the front.

 

[Sciatic]

Steinhauser such a boon to EF’s Giro, not only with the win but also being very prominent in other tough stages like today.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Kelly getting the EF team manager confused with former Stoke midfielder Jonathan Walters

 

[Brullnux]

G2 did G2 things but Vendrame has lost no time to Steinhauser on this climb whatsoever. Canny victory, but also a genuinely strong one.

This is the best kind of rider though

 

[Brullnux]

This road feels fake, it looks like it's from Lazy Town or something

Decathlon seem incapable of taking a bad team to any race this year?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Incredible ride -chapeau Vendrame!

Ala tried, it didn't work out, but I'd hate to see what this stage would have looked like without his attack. So thank you, Ala!

 

[Sciatic]

It's not even like he's just fluked it with some opportunists move, he's just a lot stronger than the others

Seems like he targeted this stage—he knew the descents well to take advantage there.

I hope that results in an even improved Felix Gall at the Tour.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That was a masterpiece of a magnitude seldom seen, played his cards perfectly throughout from start to finish. Yes, there wasn't as much tension as there could have been because G2 G2d too much, but it's impossible not to watch in admiration.

 

[AmRacer]

Now we wait 15 minutes for gruppetto.

 

[Brullnux]

Vendrame was celebrating from so far out he ran out of things to do by the finish line

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The whole top-4 of this stage has won a stage at some point this Giro, that can't have happened too often.

 

[Netserk]

I hope that results in an even improved Felix Gall at the Tour.

July will be glorious!

 

[Mayomaniac]

Seems like he targeted this stage—he knew the descents well to take advantage there.

According to Cassani he has been an absurdly good descender since the u23 days.
Still, he was really strong uphill.
Narvaez and Ala went too hard on Duron and payed for it afterwards.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Dishonourable sprint over the top for 4th from Narvaez after he's already won a stage and Plapp's pulled him to the finish!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

GRANDE ANDREA VENDRAMMEEEEEEEEEEE

Masterclass in racing all the kids should watch this
