Giro d'Italia Giro d’Italia 2024, Stage 6, Torre del Lago Puccini (Viareggio) – Rapolano Terme, 180km

[AmRacer]

This is a really weird battle for the breakaway, 40k in and barely anyone has put in a truly big effort to pull away.

Alpecin killing it.

 

[AmRacer]

So, everyone's tired. Now Poggi can attack if he wants. Or wait 50k.

 

[Tim Cahill]

AG2R, UAE, Ineos have done nothing so far, could make for an interesting latter part of the stage, a mech at the wrong time on the steratto and someone could lose huge time

There have been a few good attempts but there are no really technical sections or slight hills where you could ride away.

 

[AmRacer]

So they let a lone rider go. Poor guy.

 

[AmRacer]

This is just crazy. Poor Cian chasing a full gas peloton.

 

[AmRacer]

The Aplecin guys must be totally dead after yesterday and today.

 

[AmRacer]

How fast have they gone? It's crazy.

 

[AmRacer]

Tadej should join them, 'Do you want me in the break'?

 

[Filippo_3467]

Schachmann is racing so poorly you could think he is a neo pro.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Now the moment to go I think, with a teammate

 

[search]

it's too late now, I think. They won't get enough of a gap before the peloton starts speeding up again before the starrato.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Mauri a bit too dangerous I think, could make things awkward later in the race

 

[AmRacer]

Tadej should join them, 'Do you want me in the break'

Wout van Fiorelli on another good day.

 

[Tim Cahill]

UAE 2 riders down apparently, if not this stage then what are they good for

That looks like a lot more than 2 riders down to me...

 

[Rob5091]

Sprint teams not wanting to let many too far up the road so they can get the sprint points then things should calm down.

Swift x2 and Narvaez should be moving, at least try and put some pressure on

Problem is Ganna, Foss and Sheffield are saving it for the tt

 

[Lequack]

What an exciting stage again.

It wouldn't put any pressure on, though. There is zero chance of Thomas making a move before the little wall at 4k to go, by which point having someone up the road would be irrelevant even if he somehow dropped everyone. The stage they should be saving themselves for is on Saturday.

 

[Rob5091]

Nope, seems like the sprinters have given up and a lot of guys going up the road. No sprinters getting points means things stay as they are (points wise)

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Vansevenant on the attack.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Pogi wants the stage
