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

[Salvarani]

Ineos riding hard

 

[Red Rick]

I think the break is gonna win because the peloton will slow down completely after the secteur is over

 

[Tim Cahill]

Understand the best position is at the front is on these sections but I'm not sure mowing down the break and giving Pogacar ideas is the best strategy, if he gets to that last Murito he can take 10+10 there

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Some brilliant bike handling on display in that corner.

I do not know why Ineos is chasing here. Let UAE work if they want...

 

[Salvarani]

Groves is a great descender

Avoiding crashes like the one that just happened + possible stage win with Narvaez.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Front group back on the asphalt now, for them the air has cleared

Objectively Thomas and the team are just much better suited to this stuff than the other contenders for 2nd.

Stage win is very optimistic I think.

That dust cant be healthy.

Dreck reinigt den Magen!


Dirt cleanses the stomach! - German saying.

 

[Red Rick]

"No disrespect to Caleb Ewan"

Blythe that's exactly the rider you should disrespect

 

[Faserr]

Alaphilippe might win this.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

As expected, Peleton back to chilling/ letting UAE handle things. I expect the gap to go out to 3 minutes.

Looking like a very good prediction. Good news for the stage.

So that explains this...

I guess that explains some German dishes...

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Alaphilippe might win this.

Pelayo

 

[Gratemans]

Dang that's a lot of dust, otherwise it looks like a lovely area though and they even rode through a golf course!

It's a ridiculously beautiful area. When I was there it felt like riding through one of those photoshopped postcards.

 

[Sciatic]

Beautiful landscape, as always in this region

 

[Sciatic]

Alaphilippe might win this.

That short steep stretch in the final climb would have been gravy for the Ala of a few years ago,

 

[Red Rick]

So that explains this...

MODS

Hate to break it to you, but that must be specifically for Italian taste, I've never seen this in Germany.

But we have Ristorante Pizza Pasta...

UAE will have to sandbag a lot more if Plapp is going to keep any sort of GC lead in the TT.
