Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2021 stage 16: Sacile - Cortina d'Ampezzo 212km

[movingtarget]

Winter cycling gloves and overshoes would make a big difference, but then you see the pictures of Quintana winning on Terminillo with snowfall wearing no gloves at all.

And avoiding frost bite............

 

[sir fly]

Can someone from the forum that lives in the area go and clock the time difference?

Yeah!
Where's Mayo?

Hey!
What are you doing here?
Get out and bring us the time gaps.

They always complain about the cold on their hands and feet after these types of stages, I guess there is only so much you can do, maybe double socks and overshoes and possibly mitts and a pair of full cover gloves on top.

"... Usually in such conditions, he (Fignon) felt there was little point in even starting, but this day was different, as his personal soigneur Alain Gallopin had rubbed him down with the hottest Kramer balm, all over. “Legs, lower back, stomach. Oh my God. A (sic) hour before the start I was burning so badly that I had to get out of the car… it was foul but I didn’t feel the cold all day,” he said. ..."

Is this Kramer stuff not available anymore?

How likely is it there won't be any images all day? I mean if the weather doesn't improve, the helicopter won't be able to start all of a sudden.

 

[Red Rick]

That would be the most Vegni thing ever.

Veni

Vidi

Vegni

 

[groogster]

I give up, gonna watch "home alone" so i can see some real snow

 

[Ricco']

I think I'm going to watch this today instead. It has Giau, it has Fedaia, it has rain and descents and pictures of racing. It even have Nibali.

Break is splintering before the top.

 

[RedheadDane]

Looks like the break is heading through a forest.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Yeah!

Sorry, I'm not gonna drive +100km right now to get some time gaps.

 

[Giro1914]

Basso in the interview seemed a bit angry, but still lots a words to say almost nothing

 

[RedheadDane]

Sorry, I'm not gonna drive +100km right now to get some time gaps.

Yes you are!

 

[Samamba]

So do we know anything about what's going on in the race or naa?

 

[HelloDolly]

Basso not holding back on the confusion of the decision

 

[Rollthedice]

To cheer some people here up, the last time Nibali went stagehunting on a shortened gt stage:

If he wins on a shortened stage, Bernal bags the Giro. This is how things work.

You'll take on foot?

Weather is too bad for driving.

Stelvio too short of a climb last year.

i dont know now, but i can confirm that i used some stuff in early 2000s and i was super hot, we were in mountains with drizzle (snow+rain) cold,slightly above 0C and i didnt have any warm clothes because my skin was feeling like it was hot summer day

so they probably forgot the recipe in last 20 years

 

[HelloDolly]

Eurosport saying decision taken by Vengi without input from the riders

 

[BlueRoads]

Can't they just have two motos with smartphone-guys streaming?

 

[RedheadDane]

I... think break is descending. Tesfatsion appears to have been dropped.

Last I heard they were trying to arrange some 4g coverage.

Nibali and Fortunato and somebody else on the attack
