Giro d'Italia Giro d’Italia 24, Stage 10: Pompei – Cusano Mutri (Bocca della Selva), 142.0k

[shadowrider]

A lot of Visma-riders "sick" this season. Some even twice or three times, having problems to recover. It seems the foodapp is not balanced, or is even the direct cause of the health problems. The crashes may have been bad luck, but the health problems ? The combination of both ensures that Visma has a mediocre season, yet in relation to its top riders and large budget.

Congratulations Tadej, you won your eighth mountain sprint against a bunch of u23s and gerant Thomas, you really are the greatest rider ever and we all love you soooooo much.

Neither Ben O'Connor nor Daniel Martinez are U23 though. The others didn't really sprint against him, they just saw the back wheel. But I am certain you are right, the reason people think Pogacar is great is because of the mountain sprints, this is why people classify him as a wheelsucker, which is also evident in him not having one a single memorable solo in his career.

if I get this right, Bjerg told Valgren that UAE wants to go for it today

Typical greedy Danes. Mikkel pressuring Pogi yet again without regard for the Tour.

Today's stage has two parts, the race to the first sprint (at 52.1 km done) by the sprint teams then the GC & break take over. I guess that UAE follow until the sprint then hit the front. How big and strong the break is will be the interesting part.

Marius Mayrhofer joins the non-starters. It must be an exclusive sprinters‘ disease.

Visma can't catch a break this season.

Speaking about catching breaks, I think UAE has a good stage to set-up Pogačar fourth stage win in this Giro however I think they will only chase hard if there is someone dangerous in the breakaway otherwise they might allow it to fight for the win with Pogačar doing an attack to win a couple of seconds in the last kilometers.

The final climb is not too steep so this could be a good chance for someone like Ganna or Sheffield.

at this point I think Plugge sacrificed 15 innocent children to the gods or something

again if you sacrifice children to the dark lord Cthulhu to get 3 GT wins you will at some point face the backlash

the TDF sometimes rides past an area above Gap, called Champsaur

That's got to be a Pokémon.

I expect the shortened stage 15 to be really easy to control. And Grappa is really easy to control as well.

I've seen grown men struggle with Grappa, coming to a complete halt and falling over.

I'm all in for anything that makes them ride as if their lives depended on it

That 's called Pogasaur.

Funny thing is that Visma in one of their documentaries said that one of the reason they became so good is that they know perfectly how to not get sick. Looks like that doesn't work anymore...

Unusually warm and sunny Giro so far, very different to last year.

Ironically enough probably the only time Pogacar really prefers a race he targets to have nice weather.

If someone prefers to speak...

Wonder who!

Anyone knows why Hermans doesn't ride ? He refuses to take a pull and angers De Marchi?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I wonder why Ineos is so actively controlling today. Do they want to send someone up the road on an uphill or are they just braindead?

 

[Netserk]

Alpecin ordering Hermans not to work because of points for Groves?

 

[tobydawq]

De Marchi and Clarke partying in the outskirts of Napoli as if it was 2023.

Alpecin ordering Hermans not to work because of points for Groves?

HM yes possible but he attacked with Clarke before DeMarchi joined...

 

[QueenStagiaire]

This EF team is the absolutely most inept team ever at getting away from the Peloton.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogacar paid Zeus to have nice weather

Pogacar paid Zeus to have nice weather

Aren't we close enough to Rome for it to have been Jupiter?

 

[Netserk]

Good group, but it doesn't seem like they will get away. Would have been nice to see Pellizzari win today.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Pogacar paid Zeus to have nice weather

Jupiter is the weather god

 

[Faserr]

Roadblock doesn't work today .

 

[Netserk]

Groves near the front.
