Giro d'Italia 2020, stage 9: San Salvo – Roccaraso 208 km

[ice&fire]

Guys can we take a moment to cry about Roccaraso getting the Cat 1?

If they cancel the race tomorrow, today is the queen stage

 

[Eclipse]

lmao if Nibali actually went on the attack already that's hilarious and bodes well for more potential action than expected.

 

[Climbing]

He certainly didn't.

He certainly didn't.

11:51
At km 65 Nibali is on the attack!
At km 65. 5 riders had a small lead of 10″:

• 134 HAIG JACK (MTS)
  145 SAMITIER SERGIO (MOV)
  148 VILLELLA DAVIDE (MOV)
  166 NARVÁEZ JHONATAN (IGD)
  191 NIBALI VINCENZO (TSF)

At km 67, they lead by 16″. Not surprisingly, the peloton reacted quickly to bring them back.



Live text wrong then?

 

[Climbing]

Not cool, dude. Spoiler alert!

I don't want to watch neither tennis nor MotoGP.
Well I'll just have to spend the day looking through the old family album then.

Just predictions! But I want to believe.

 

[Rollthedice]

50km/h first hour.

Just predictions! But I want to believe.

I've already decided. Grandpa in speedos it is.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

the shark attacked?

Vincenzo Nibali (Trek-Segafredo) has attacked! He got away with Sergio Samitier (Movistar), Jack Haig (Mitchelton-Scott), Davide Villella (Astana) and Jhonathan Narvaez (Ineos Grenadiers) but the move was quickly neutralised.

I guess the home audience deserves some exclusivity.
Seems the breakaway will settle just about at the time international viewers will tune in.

 

[Climbing]

He was in the front for a moment RAI reported, without noticing that they were gaining time, immediately sat up
(if you can believe RAI)

Accidentally on the attack?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

And then there were six

 

[topcat]

Accidentally on the attack?

He's so strong he drops the peloton without trying to.

 

[SafeBet]

Castroviejo is only 6'49" behind in GC so peloton can't take a rest day until Roccaraso today.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

+ 1 = Seven

Kilian Frankiny

 

[Velolover2]

Castroviejo is riding himself into the GC.

Can go all in since we have a rest day tomorrow.

 

[RedheadDane]

Bjerg trying to bridge.

Bjerg trying to bridge.

Bridge or Bjerg, make up your mind.
