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

[Savant12]

The 5 mins highlights package will be filled with 4 mins of the cameramen filming people at the finish line.

 

[Scarponi]

Bernal in this form can take on the Slovenians. He did not look tired at the finish

Probably the easiest Giro in years. Outside of the gravel stage it’s been soft pedaled. Should go for the double

 

[perico]

Such a shame for him and the race that the Yates hates these conditions.

Hoping for something like decent weather later in the week so he can maybe make a bid for the podium

Yates needs to get over his infatuation with the Giro. The conditions are way too unpredictable for a guy who apparently hates the cold wet days. He’s wasted 3 years chasing pink as his primary goal of the season.

 

[hfer07]

just imagine the carnage it would have been had the stage gone as originally planed.....

congrats to Egan- he was meant to win it

 

[JosefK]

Honestly Remco should have been at Andalucia. Than again it keeps his ego in check

I think that if Remco is not suffering from chronic issues at the site of his injury and is otherwise not hurt, then this Giro can be a good experience. It gets some racing in the legs and shows him where he is, and where he needs to improve.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Nowadays, there is no need. Vuelta is becoming much more important.

So youre telling me you dont want to win a few more iconic stage wins if the opportunity presents itself because it will give him 1% more in September? Hopefully riders like Egan doesnt think like that.

 

[Scarponi]

Taking a real beating might be better for him in the long run. Now please don't send him to the Vuelta, shorter stage races and one day races during the 2nd part of the season is the way to go.

100% the ego to think he could win a GT after zero prep. Contador or Froome wouldn’t do that at their peaks

 

[movingtarget]

Bad day for Yates, Caruso continues to surprise, nice ride by Bardet.

Such a shame for him that Bernal's riding this race...
I'm not hoping for Bernal quits later in the week though

 

[Lequack]

Almeida into top 10

 

[BlueRoads]

Bernals ego is getting a bit in his head; i hope this *** in the end bites him in the ass

You're serious?
He's never shown a more than healthy ego, he's usually quite humble. Just because he wants to enjoy this moment, have a proper photo for once and honour the jersey?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Probably the easiest Giro in years. Outside of the gravel stage it’s been soft pedaled. Should go for the double

I doubt anyone can do the double after such a rainy Giro, it's gonna take a toll on your body.

 

[Volderke]

Remco clearly aiming for stages. He let them go on purpose. GC is boring anyway.

Remco would still be on the Pordoi

i doubt it, the race is only as hard as riders make it to be,,,if the stage was in original length we would have seen just more Ineos at the front and the action would start just where it started anyway

Maybe? But you have to question whether Yates has the fortitude to fight through it when his form or the weather conditions aren't as he'd want them. Of course by his standards this wasn't a spectacular explosion at all. That could easily come on one of the next mountain stages though.

 

[ice&fire]

If they managed to inform us right when Bernal was on top of the Giau, he climbed it in ~32min, 1.30 faster than they did in 2016. The shorter stage probably helped a lot.

In 2016 it wasn't the last climb

 

[Mayomaniac]

Bernal saying that this is the kind of cycling he loves, hard, long stages and nasty weather. A proper rider.

 

[Skalman]

Probably the easiest Giro in years. Outside of the gravel stage it’s been soft pedaled. Should go for the double

Yes, really underwhelming field this year and the total lack of excitement, the crashes and the injuries, Breakaways winning a multitude of stages even in the first weeks, the lack of tv coverage, the shortened queen stage, nah, not a Giro to remember fondly, Only Bernals brilliance is a saving grace

 

[Mayomaniac]

In 2016 it wasn't the last climb

I know, that's why you have to put things in perspective.

 

[movingtarget]

Yes the Vuelta looks a better race for him as has proved in the past.

 

[perico]

No disrespect intended, but he’s beating Caruso, Bardet (who hasn’t looked like a GC contender in years). That’s a long way from going head to head with the ski jumper and aspiring rapper. The others are solid on paper, but underperforming to an extent.

 

[IndianCyclist]

Remco wins seconds in the sprint and loses minutes on the climbs

 

[Mayomaniac]

Copeland also on RAI saying that thy wanted to ride the whole stage, this is turning into a joke, all the gc teams wanted to ride the normal stage.

 

[Anybody_but..]

Maybe not such iconic but still GT wins, yes, you may be right.
