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

[Pricey_sky]

Yates losing 2”40

Wow.

 

[Netserk]

For the highlights maybe but I don't recall a stage being reconstructed after the fact and broadcast in full length.

I think that happened with the ascent of Jafferau in 2013.

 

[Eeslliw]

Very curious how he does against the Slovenians

Pogacar is in his own league right now. Bernal can probably climb with him (not sure though) but Tadej would smash him in TT. We will see how Bernal goes in TT 21. stage, but he will need to improv it, if he wants to challange him.

DS reporting Bardet 40 sec behind bernal now

 

[Rackham]

I'm guessing RAI or whoever is doing the live told Vegni they can't cover the stage as it is so Vegni cut it hoping they'll be able to broadcast. They aren't.

Yeah I'm also starting to think it's related tbh (i.e. the broadcast problems in bad weather influencing the decision to cut the stage short).

Yates at almost 3 min, the Giau is a monster

Honestly, at this point that wouldn't even surprise me.

GPS is GPSing. It's probably a group of 10 in the lead now

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Cameras are that *** they just missed Bernal passing the finishing line and it's the only picture they've shown for the last ten minutes

 

[Swiss Tony]

Now my favorite commentator! fellow Rovers supporter...Go On The Hatch!!!

 

[SafeBet]

Not even Cassani's phone is working. Total failure by RCS and RAI.

 

[webvan]

They might as well broadcast Race Radio directly instead of having dudes pick and chose any. If anything it would be exciting for fans to hear what "Race Radio" sounds like ! I often wonder why it's never been streamed. Last year on the TDF you could hear some excerpts very occasionally.

 

[Bolder]

Bardet has taken 30 seconds already on the descent, apparently.

 

[Red Rick]

Poor dog

 

[Ranagazoo]

Caruso moving toward the ultimate Haimar Zubeldia Ninja award. If he indeed makes the final podium, will he remain invisible?

We have a load of ninjas this year seeing as how we lose pictures every time we hit the mountains

 

[Pricey_sky]

Bardet could catch Bernal if GPS gaps are correct. Especially as Bernal really shouldn’t be taking risks now.

Yates at almost 3 min, the Giau is a monster

Yes, it's brutal when you have a bad day, happened to me last year after I had climbed the Falzarego from Cortina and Colle Santa Lucia before it. You start the climb too fast and you pay for it, it's a relentless climb.

So, what was EF working for?

 

[Bonimenier]

RAI reporting that Ponomar just passed Bernal in the descent.

Their goal was podium. Isn't Carthy going to jump to 3rd now? Goal archieved.

 

[Giro1914]

Looks like Bardet is catching Caruso, really hope that Nibali is still with Ciccone

 

[Ricco']

Waiting for Evenepoel to come out of nowhere solo on the fixed cams.

 

[glassmoon]

So, what was EF working for?

Bernal, obviously.

Bardet could end up 2nd in GC
