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

[Samu Cuenca]

I really like Friuli as a region. Not to mention that you can get a house for 100-130k in the area between Tolmezzo and Ovaro.

You've bought one and now you can't get rid of it?

🎵 Heidi, Heidi, deine Welt sind die Bergen...🎵

Sorry, been rewatching the old Heidi cartoon from 1974, each time I see mountains now it makes me think of this theme song.

 

[Tim Cahill]

One thing this race has missed a bit is random top 10 riders trying to infiltrate breaks to move onto the podium, most just seem happy with their spots. The Tour will be full of them I think, the favourites superdoms Kuss, A Yates, Landa, Hindley with Gall, Bernal Carapaz and S Yates will be making early moves to try and put pressure on other teams.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

5 minutes. has a break had that big advantage in this years Giro yet?

Over 7 minutes now, that I can be positive we haven't seen yet.

 

[Samamba]

If De Marchi wants a chance at winning he needs to attack early and hope he gets Valgren, Theuns and Van Dijke with him for example.

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

Can Narvarez survive the final climb? Not sure anyone will want to take him to the finish

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

Surely someone like Ala will attack on the climbs to get rid of the helpers and hangers on

Verre has now sat up and he's waiting for the peloton.

 

[pastronef]

8 minutes now. I'd never have imagined we'd get the first PROPER breakaway stage at stage 19. that's crazy. the way the peloton have been chasing breakaways for the whoe Giro is mindblowing. whole Giro avg speed is 42 kmh for now

Managed it in just over 63min with a compact and 32 in the back a few years ago.

Nah, if I buy one I'll probably sell other property for a lot more money so that I can retire early in that area...

Luke Plapp is just really bad in this Giro.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Luke Plapp has vanished, so good on De Marchi that he got in the break.

On German Eurosport Voigt and Aldag are talking about former arrivals at nordic ski facilities, and in particular the Friendensfahrt stage ending on the Harrachov ski jumping hill, with riders walking up there because it was the faster way to reach the finish.

Sounds like a good idea for next year!

 

[yaco]

Three top tens in your second GT is a decent result for Plapp.

 

[Samamba]

So can't be that Plapp just dropped?

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Plapp maybe has more stomach issues

 

[Samamba]

Plapp is back

 

[dgodave]

That is one severe looking church.

 

[Samamba]

POGACAR DROPPED!!!
