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

[Leinster]

Crowd shots at the finish are all well and good, but it's not as if this is a first, so can't they come up with some sort of dot-watch graphic to show us what's going on? The top-of-screen numbers make sense when the rest of the screen has to show guys riding bikes, but hardly when there's no action to show.

Where is remco?

 

[ppanther92]

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

Depends on where he is right now.

 

[JosefK]

Just for the record, people were successfully sent to the moon and back 52 years ago. But we can't get TV when it rains.

 

[SafeBet]

Bardet has just took RAI helicopter which was left unused and he's flying down the descent.

 

[Big Doopie]

Bardet storming the descent.

 

[PeterB]

I cant believe we are having to resort to watching a fool wave at a camera with a mask only covering his nose not his mouth

Actually, he was having a smoke, so fair play to him for keeping his nose still covered while doing so!

 

[46&twoWheels]

people in the future won't believe in Bernal winning the stage. The last known picture available to mankind will be Formolino bossing

 

[Pricey_sky]

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

Nibali was behind Yates at the top.

The way this Giro is going then the sprint stage 18 will go to the break as Sagan will do a Demare to protect the sprinters jersey.

 

[glassmoon]

Egan is taking it easy/safe on the way down...

 

[Eclipse]

Bardet could take it, wouldn't expect Bernal to take risks while Bardet will definitely fancy it

 

[Bonimenier]

Depends on where he is right now.

Caruso and Bernal are in front of him, but Vlasov and Yates seem to be way behind him.

 

[Fantastico]

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

He isn't.

 

[FjPavels]

Norwegian eurosport commentator is watching a live broadcast from the top of the climb on instagram. Being frustrated that RAI can not produce live images, but random people on instagram can do it.

Where is remco?

In the back pocket of Almeida

Just for the record, people were successfully sent to the moon and back 52 years ago. But we can't get TV when it rains.

A great example - rocket launches are cancelled at the very hint of any weather...

I'm impressed how quickly everyone forgot about Remco kid.

 

[Mayomaniac]

A lot has to do with nobody in Italy wanting to take any risks, so they won't be responsable if something happens to the helicopter (god forbid).

 

[IndianCyclist]

just take one of the camera at the finish and travel with a race bike to the front of the race

 

[trevim]

Not bad for a non/bad/how dare he? climber like Almeida

With 1 extra minute for the break and he might have been contesting a sprint finish today

 

[huangho]

Poor commentators... This is really hard for them

 

[Oliver]

Nibali was behind Yates at the top.

He can better take more time, for another break later in the race.

 

[Giro1914]

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.

I know once I did the mistake to try it doing a long lap to get back to Cortina and I died on it

They should cancel whole stage if they can't broadcast it live.

Such a comedy. They probably weren't able to broadcast half of te original stage with all 3 climbs and descents.
