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

[Baldinger]

Pretty sure I saw some Deceuninck helmets closing the gap two minutes ago.

Oh well, perhaps I saw just the opposite happening.

 

[pvieira91]

Remco two minutes behind the maglia rosa group.

According to "logic is your friend" it's all due to bad technique

 

[gregrowlerson]

Today is the legs of better days.

Excited Italian podium girl giggles to her friends: "That Vincenzo has legs for days!"

 

[ppanther92]

So Remco probably a DNS after tomorrow. This will lead to even more discussion about the 2+ minutes Almeida lost with waiting so far.

 

[Ricco']

Seeing the images right now, Vegni should be fired on the spot after today's stage.

Imagine this happening on a 'professional' sport. Can't even think what would happen if a F1 race was cut by half due to possibility of rain only for no rain during the time of the race.

 

[Rollthedice]

Never before have I hoped so much that Nibali will actually suck, cause if he ends up being the strongest rider in this break and they get caught I'm gonna be so f*cking mad.

It would just be in line with his Trek years.

 

[Forever The Best]

I'm so disappointed. I had an Electronics I midterm today and I was looking forward to this to watch afterwards.

 

[RedheadDane]

Oh well, perhaps I saw just the opposite happening.

The helmets closed the gap. The riders remained behind.

 

[frisenfruitig]

2 minutes already? And they haven't even started the tough climb yet lol. Might as well quit the Giro after this stage, he's done. Not like he's going to win the TT with these legs either

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Is it just the Icelandic vodka that I'm sipping, or does Almeida look slightly like Klöden?

Compared to Almeida, Klödi was an absolute winning machine!

He should have been fired right after 2016 Tirreno scandal where they cancelled the MTF despite no issues. Acquarone was a shady person, but I would probably take him over Vegni.

 

[Riek s]

If he is really dropped because he can't go faster here he should abandon the Giro since that means he is completely empty.
If he is dropped because he is suffering to much from the cold he should abandon.

Only reason why he won't abandon could be he is releasing his GC ambitionts (keeping top10) and just focussing on learning and completing the Giro without blowing himself....

 

[ppanther92]

Bit ironic that this strong break won't make it despite a big effort but (almost) every other stage was one by some shitty break so far...

 

[Rollthedice]

Bettiol used to be a friend of Nibali, he is killing it in the peloton.

You are an extremist and masochist for saying such things!

I dont even care if its raining or not raining. Thats not an excuse in the first place. But honestly, which race organizer would cut their highly anticipated queen stage short based on that? Nobody, I would have though before today.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Lol, the weather is getting better, like everyone was saying before the stage.

 

[trevim]

F**** EF for spoiling Almeida’s first epic professional win.

congrats EF for making a race out of this mess, shame Guerreiro isn’t here, he could have been the final link

 

[gregrowlerson]

He’s cool but no Kloden

Might jump on the bandwagon. Good time trialer, decent riding style, is polarising, team leader or super domestique?

I've waited a long time for this moment.

 

[Eclipse]

One of those really hard to explain quirks of cycling to a non-fan.

You told me these riders are all really good but they're getting caught easily and the riders you said weren't very good yesterday won by 10 minutes!?!?

 

[Eyeballs Out]

The Shark looks a bit overdressed for this

Almeida might be the second coming of Kloden. If only Evenepoel could gain 20kg and channel his inner Ulrich

Or Almieda underdressed

 

[Volderke]

So, Evenepoel officially dropped?

Not dropped. Just losing contact.

 

[RedheadDane]

Amanuel caught by the peloton.

 

[Red Rick]

Not dropped. Just losing contact.

Not losing.

Just socially distancing
