Hardly my point. It's an absolute disgrace on the race that Mauro Freaking Schmid won the dterrate stage.

He did it 2018.
PLEASE CHANGE THE COLOUR, HE HAS NO RIGHT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH EUSKALTEL!!!
But yeah, he is looking mighty fine.
But when did he race it?
I didn't see any MTB or CX racing out there. The technical nature of gravel racing is being completely overrated here.That's how it is in MTB and cyclocross, when you're not confident or good technically... you keep spending energy to close gaps multiple times, and towards the end of the race you're cooked.
I know it pretty well
I think he hasn't been mentioned much, so I need to do this.

Apart from Evenepoel cracking and Formolo and that other guy disappearing, I think the results still quite closely reflect the climbing pecking order.2016-2018. i mean he certainly has improved since then, but i do not see him as a top 3/5 finisher. But he is also more than welcome to prove me wrong in the next years
Sun was shining on final climb.For a rider that was hanging around the back the whole race Simon did great!
Remco clearly won this battle. Pathetic performance from Yates.Yates and Remco battling for last position
Not really. I wasn't expecting Buchmann to be this good. Foss also surprised me a lot.Apart from Evenepoel cracking and Formolo and that other guy disappearing, I think the results still quite closely reflect the climbing pecking order.
When you're not confident you lose positions and get gapped, it happened many times today to Remco, especially on descents and turns.I didn't see any MTB or CX racing out there. The technical nature of gravel racing is being completely overrated here.

He cracked. A combination of lack of skills in the sterrato, lack or racing and being youngWhat happend to Remco? Only watched it when Egan was crossing the line.
Don't disrespect Simon Spilak please. He was the only one who put fear into peak Froome at the time. It was in Romandie, sure, but fear it was nevertheless.He did it 2018.
Carthy is the favourite for sure
Fausto Masnada to get that KOM jersey now he doesn't have to fetch bottles for the Belgian Simon Spilak.
Yes, unlucky for Lotto - it all looked perfectly set up for them with Kluge there too. The way Schmid finished though I'm not certain Vanhoucke beats him anyway. At least he is showing some decent form now and there are more suitable stages to comeImagine being in the decisive break all day, survive 99% of the sterrato just to crash in the last meters of the last sector when you're clearly the best climber in the group. Rip Vanhouckes chance for a stage win this Giro.
Impressed by Schmid tho. Didnt expect him to win at all. And also guessed Covi a km before the finish.
he poopooed his pants on every gravel descent, it was sad to watch as he had to chase all the time untill he cracked for goodWhat happend to Remco? Only watched it when Egan was crossing the line.
