Giro d'Italia 2020, stage 8: Giovinazzo - Vieste, 200 km

[Red Rick]

An entire peloton thinking that cooperating only leads deeper into the bag.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Let’s hope Ravanelli takes it from the break. A totally anonymous Androni rider winning would be a fitting end.

Boring stage but the community is doing a good job. Creating some drama for entertainment reasons.

 

[SarahtheDane]

Sagan is with Fulgsang group.

Conflicting feelings for most of the sub.

 

[Eclipse]

Just can't believe the stage is gifted to such a weak break given there's multiple riders who could have taken an oppo today.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He's not a silver fox like his namesake, so I just can't root for him

He'll tackle Guardiola regardless.

 

[TomLPC]

Good idea mate, try and drag him up by the shoulders after a big crash

 

[RedheadDane]

Can't remember who it was, or where it was asked, but there was a question the other day about whether riders change helmets when they hit their head during a crash. Nice to see that it turns out they do.

 

[Red Rick]

Brambilla seems more annoyed than hurt?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It's not cool to throw coal on the ground there.

 

[Climbing]

Brambilla seems more annoyed than hurt?

Well, he broke his helmet as well...

 

[Eclipse]

Every time I flick over I just see shots of the sea and coast which I suppose sums up the day as well as anything else

 

[sir fly]

The coast's spectacular, but the swimming's more pleasant across.
... the Gulf Stream.

45km to go and the gap of the break is still growing

Not a famous one but the magic number (6) and 3 pretty decent TTers.
Had it been a flat stage, the peloton would have had a hard time to catch them

 

[Eclipse]

The racing might be rubbish but the scenery is gorgeous

 

[Velolover2]

Who is the best mur climber in the breakaway?

Rosskopf? Holmes? I think Ravanelli is the favorite if it comes down to a sprint.

I'd go with Holmes

Dowsett attacked only because of the Adriatic backdrop.
Should look good in his album.

 

[Red Rick]

Anyone but Puccio please

 

[Velolover2]

Looks like a tough little climb. Fuglsang ambush incoming?

 

[spalco]

I don't know the stats, but ISN really sucks. Have they won anything yet?

 

[Velolover2]

If this climb was located 2-5 km from the finish line, there would have been a GC battle.

A few wins so far this year, still looking for their first WT win.
