Giro d'Italia Giro d’Italia 2024, Stage 8: Spoleto – Prati di Tivo, 152.0k

[Savant12]

UAE just tapping out a tempo. Looks like they'll bring back most of the breakaway.

I like him

When he first started on Eurosport I really liked him, he was a bit unprofessional but still brought something to the commontaty. But in the last few years he's gotten a bit top overconfident IMO. Constantly making stupid noises, giggling and bringing the rest of his co-commontators down to his level, and he adds absolutely no insight whatsoever.
I'm all for the banter ect, but it's way to much..

 

[Rob5091]

UAE did say about controlling the race, but they might need to be careful with their manpower.

 

[Brullnux]

De Marchi... what a man

 

[ashhutch1997]

The great missing man of this Giro is 2015 Astana.

The streets won't forget.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Julian rides like those 80s riders who used to do load of coke and amphetamines before the race

 

[KZD]

The fall in the Basque country might have injured Pogačar's main rivals but it also injured one of his strongest domestiques for this Giro, Jay Vine. It will probably make Pogačar lose more energy than he hoped.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Storer also in the move.

 

[Faserr]

Geschke is going well. Good to see..

He remembers me Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad

So Lefevre is Walter White?

Like when he comes to check if Julian does coke and champagne in his room "Julian! I am the one who knocks!"

the break seems fine. UAE should slow a bit

the break seems fine. UAE should slow a bit

They will after the climb. Bora will start working to defend his second place so the break won't gain 3 minutes today.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

UAE are being way too paranoid about this break. In other news, it's a day that ends in y.

after the stage, Pogacar will probably still say again that they wanted to give the jersey to Bardet

Yeah, if they close down this rather benign breakaway, they open themselves to attacks from more dangerous riders.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Laengen still there. WTH?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Inexperience I think, Wellens would've been good in this situation

 

[QueenStagiaire]

UAE are going Laengen‘s pace so nobody attacks.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Break is doomed with Laengen there. No way they will start Prati di Tivo with more than 3 minutes

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Storer is surprisingly bad

 

[DJO]

Sean Kelly there. "Shitty shorts".

Pogi won’t let the 5 minute men a lot closer to him. This is setting up for a pog win as he’ll have to work on the last climb anyway. Let’s see how he feels

 

[Faserr]

I think UAE is not strong enough to control the break when guys like Alaphilippe and Scheffield join the front four.

it's strange. Pog could slam them back to 6 minutes in the third week even if the gain time now. is he making UAE chase too much?
