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

[postmanhat]

Yates seems to be hanging by a thread.

Could be. Although he does tend to ride at the back of a group quite a lot, unless he's feeling brilliant. I think this was always going to be a day for hanging on for him?

 

[Rollthedice]

Just tuning in and trying to catch up with everything.

Does anyone know if Formolo has got back to the group of GC leaders?

I think no. Dan Martin the other victim.

 

[ppanther92]

Who is in the chasing group?

Group 2? Foss and Bennett

If Evenepoel can end this stage with only a minor amount of time lost that really isn't too bad. He is still holding on.

He's still fighting, I don't want to use the d-word, but it's starting to look like this could be a grim day for him indeed.

 

[KZD]

Evenepoel looking seriously uncomfortable

I hope that this is due to lack of technical ability rather than legs.

The Jumbo attack gaining time this quickly shows how defensively the big names are unfortunately riding.

Imo Ineos just waiting for the attack to do later which seems quite reasonable for now

 

[SafeBet]

Ineos to drill the descent?

 

[johnymax]

I hope that this is due to lack of technical ability rather than legs.

I think that's most probably the case. I always thought he'll have troubles riding on sterrato.

 

[BlueRoads]

What are Jumbo doing, apart from being cool? Do they believe they will catch the break?

 

[Bonimenier]

Martin and Formolo over 4 minutes behind the peloton

 

[Ilmaestro99]

The race is in Trek's hands. Giulio and Vincenzo need to make the race now.

[BlueRoads]

Oh, I know they deserve it and everything... but this break was only let go because nobody takes them seriously... show me the winner, that will be enough for me.

 

[Bonimenier]

Yates and Evenepoel will destroy everyone on the last sector. Mark my words.

Foss trying to move up on GC, I guess. Seems pointless, they're only 13 seconds up now.

 

[spalco]

Regardless of what they believe, they will be caught again soon.

Marked.

Yeah it's kind of annoying to me that a once-in-a-decade kind of stage gets handed to a pretty average breakaway group.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

They are behind on GC, so if they want to move up they need to attack. There was a bit of hesitation in the group, so they gave it a shot.

 

[Skalman]

The break has never got this much attention on any stage (it feels like)

 

[Bonimenier]

That definitely wasn't wasted energy.

 

[limak_]

Remco on Ciccone's wheel, apparently trying to be as much on the front as possible before the sterrato this time

 

[SafeBet]

RAI moto reports Kangert tried to pull Yates closer to the front of the group but Yates didn't wanna hear about it.

Eurosport showed a whole 6 minutes of racing between commercials.

Eurosport showed a whole 6 minutes of racing between commercials.

They know it’s one of the most watched stages, making up for all the flat crap
