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

[Eclipse]

Yeah break isn't even being allowed 6 mins

 

[HelloDolly]

Of course we now have to revisit the issue of Almedia having to wait for the Prodigy earlier in the Giro

 

[Samamba]

What is that second group doing btw?

 

[BlueRoads]

Hm. Spotify says I should now listen to "Naked in the Rain".

 

[Mayomaniac]

I just want to return to the mid 00's where riders didnt give a * and went faster than motorbikes, where race organizers had integrity and there were no stupid rider representatives, where podium girls were celebrated and where cycling didnt have these stupid new wave fans that dont know * about the history of our sport and side with these shitty organisations every time they call for cancellings and shortenings.

We need Trump to make our sport great again.

Make the Tour de Trump great again!

Almeida got dropped by Jai Hindley and Ineos' 6th strongest GC guy in the high mountains last year. They can give him 10 minutes today and Bernal will still easily beat him.

 

[Valv.Piti]

They always talk about zomg third week when riders take rest days at any given moment and, it's literally the 2nd actual mountain stage, Zoncolan had nothing before and time limits are a joke.

Isnt she a dutch commentator? And why is she even allowed to spew that utter nonsense? These are the people that are ruining are sport. Who the *** does she think she is?

Absolutely. Cancelling stages is one thing but how am I supposed to enjoy hours of racing if it doesn't end with two scanitly clad women kissing some dude.

Mine is suggesting "Everything's Ruined" by Faith No More.

Good thing they keep female slaves that they can force on stage.

 

[HelloDolly]

What is that second group doing btw?

Can only imagine they are not working well together

Riders like Kangert , Roche et al cannot take Dan Martin up GC and maybe only up the road to help leader later on and not for stage

 

[Volderke]

It's good to see the shark swimming.

I am guessing 98 stands for 1898 and you have time travelled from the past if you consider the usual cycling podium girl attire as scantily clad.

Its a part of the political correctness nonsense-wave, not very dissimilar to these new fans of the sport questioning why riders "have to go over high mountain passes, is that really necessary, yadadadada".

Im not conservative, but when it comes to cycling, I am. These progressive people are ruining the sport.

Drowning since Val'Thorens 2019 gift.

Giau looks beautiful

But yes, today's stage would probably have been rideable as designed.

 

[Billie]

EF have a pretty bad team atm, Carr is really bad during this Giro and with no Ruben here Bettiol might be the best climbing domestique that he has left.

Tejay Van Garderen is a good mountain domestique

 

[bigcog]

Just started watching, has the route for the stage been changed presumably ?

Oh, you were serious.

 

[roundabout]

Nibali better win the stage as to me they are doing too much ahead to improve Almeida's GC position

Anyway I have no idea why these were ladies' races in both cases

When Ganna takes over he'll shove 3 minutes like nothing.

Nibali to win. Almeida to get second, jump up in the GC and get another top-10 for that most important of all competitions!
