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

[RedheadDane]

Schmid takes it!

 

[Armchair cyclist]

Mauro who?

 

[Ricco']

BMC retains the win.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Kind of feel bad for Schmid, his big moment is completely overshadowed by everything else.

 

[titan31]

Really, it's all about Remco today. He could have had peak Cancellara as his helper today and he'd have been in the same position I think.

Sure, but you still should expect better domestique work imo.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Show the gap ffs

 

[Scarponi]

Whos decision was it to put a 20 year old coming off a serious injury into a GT for his first race back. Almost seems like it went against a duty of care. Top tier GT contenders wouldn’t do it ...

 

[Panda Claws]

Schmid dropped Covi there at the end.

 

[Salvarani]

That is great for Qhubeka too.

Impressive ride by that kid and Covi.

 

[limak_]

Is that Bardet with Remco?

Bernal vs. Buchmann

TDF 2019 reloaded

Interested to see how Evenepoel goes in the last climb, is it physically a bad performance or just the nerves of sterrato?

It was always the legs. He's not great on the gravel but that skill or lack thereof is overrated. I've raced on the gravel a ton this year. If you're strong, you're strong on the gravel too. Sure, there are some that are a bit less comfortable but if you've got the legs it's not usually the cause of huge time losses.

Evenepoel with his first turn in like 30 minutes

 

[dampframme]

Great ride again from Bernal and Buchmann really seems to improve. Nice stage.

 

[Mayomaniac]

10th 2nd place for Italy in 11 stages.

 

[SafeBet]

Bernal is a demon. He never stops. Superb team effort today and he finished it off. The Giro has a padrone now.

 

[Salvarani]

Schmid was 41st in SB also tbf. Not bad.

What a first pro season! Wins Giro stage

 

[Panda Claws]

Evenepoel's efforts on the intermediate sprints came back to bite him.

 

[sir fly]

That was some nice tired sprinting.
Congrats to the Swiss... Another one goes there.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Egan the new Alberto

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Bernalaphilippe!!!

 

[Gerrard Slipped haha]

Bernal
+3s Bernal
+23s Bernal
+26s group Yates
+1.47m Ciccone
+2.08 Remco

or sth like that

 

[dampframme]

Is that Bardet with Remco?

Yes

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Evenepoel actually limited his losses. If this was "one bad day" not too bad. If it only goes downhill from here, he'd best focus on a stage.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Not quite the most epic classics-style stage we've seen, but one hell of a day nonetheless. GC battle is over assuming Bernal's back holds though.
