Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2021 stage 11: Perugia – Montalcino 162 km

[Lequack]

Ineos are a generous team. They take, but they also give (time to the breakaway).

in livebetting bernal is still the favourite behind vanhouke and battaglin, so maybe it still is possible for the peloton to win the stage.

Looks like Ineos is intent on a piano stage

 

[Samu Cuenca]

We just need Bernal to have a mechanical and Astana to decide that were already attacking at that point.

 

[Oliver]

What a joke... Another ride from the break will win this (has to be) epic (?) stage...

 

[Big Doopie]

DQS losing position.

mhmm

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

DQS losing position.

mhmm

They're right behind Ineos and next to Sagan's elbow.

If it were at least an interesting breakaway with strong riders...

Dunno if they just showed the gravel in all Eurosport broadcasts, but it looked hard as tarmac, tightly packed and dry.

It will be dusty though, which becomes a problem if you are not in the first 20.

Sounds like livebetting is better than crypto

I had a feeling expectations were a bit too high for today lol

Things are gonna happen anyway, just the GC guys won't be in contention for the stage win.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

No contradicting goals for the likes of Moscon, Bettiol and Sagan, who might have had an eye on the stage,so GC men will be better protected. Does that mean smaller gaps between them, or what difference there might be between their abilities on this route are more deeply emphasised?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

It seems every GC team has been instructed by their DS, that this being the first day after a rest day, they are riding a defensive stage.

If any of them had real plans in the finale, they would want to make the race hard on the flat, so that everyone was gassed and some out of position.

It may look like it, but it's still way more exhausting imo, and probably even more so at the speed the peloton is riding.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

And who will take it from the break? I'll go for Battaglin, because I have hed him in my Giro CQ game on many occasions but not this time.

 

[Eclipse]

Go on let the heavens open

 

[Eeslliw]

They haven't even hit first gravel section and you guys are already whinnig nothing is happening. Just wait. It will happen.

 

[sir fly]

Dust rises after a good horse...

 

[Red Rick]

Nobody doing anything on the gravel

They are all too afraid of Rafael Nadal

 

[Rollthedice]

Country roads take me home, to the place I belong, take me home country road...

 

[Red Rick]

I had a feeling expectations were a bit too high for today lol

In reality, I think every team just didn't wanna waste any domestiques in a way that it benefits everyone

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Here we go, the fight for position has started in the peloton.
