Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2022 route rumors

[Netserk]

Yeah but at the time Zomegnan was in charge.

Buzz to Woody: "Inflation. Inflation everywhere."

 

[roundabout]

it's very subjective, but a high mountain stage it was not (IMO)

and it probably won't be a high mountain stage now (Zomegnan or not). but let's see

yeah that's true, the run-in was very weak. The one I picked today was admittedly a bit harder

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The 2016 Roccaraso stage, which should be relatively similar in run-in and climb difficulty, was also categorised as mid-mountain though.

If it isn't a Madonna della Guardia MTF finish though, something along the lines of the 2015 La Spezia stage still seems a realistic prospect.

It can be a biit arbitrary, like Campo Felice 2021 being a mountain stage, but judging by the road stage that Ganna won in 2020 as well as San Giacomo 2021 this should be classified as medium mountain all day any day

 

[Eshnar]

Stage 1 is a short uphill finish
Stage 2 is the same 9 km ITT that was originally stage 1
Stage 3 still a sprint stage

Could do worse for a foreign start.

 

[Netserk]

~200 m vertical gain for the hilltop finish?

 

[Red Rick]

Perfect for Roglic to take pink then crash out so he can win Tour after on bad luck bounceback

 

[Mayomaniac]

Stage 2 is the original opening ITT.

Meh, they could have made it at least 20kms long, a mid length ITT early on would actually be interesting.

 

[Eshnar]

the uphill finish has to be something like 5 km at 4% or so

 

[SafeBet]

I'll need the planimetry to understand which road they're taking in Visegrad but whatever they've decided the scenery is beautiful there.

No surprises for the ITT.

maybe some better planimetry will come

Looks pretty clear to me, thanks.

 

[BigCoward]

If there really is only 2 short TTs, if I'm Bernal I'm defending.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Ok, no pure sprinters in the Maglia Rosa, that's at least something...

 

[Mayomaniac]

If there really is only 2 short TTs, if I'm Bernal I'm defending.

Ineos will probably send him to the Tour, but Carapaz at the Giro could IMO happen.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Also note that the race now starts on Friday, don't think that was confirmed yet.

 

[Red Rick]

Ineos will probably send him to the Tour, but Carapaz at the Giro could IMO happen.

GC Kuss will be inevitable.

Mostly because Jumbo are seriously lacking in the "GC riders who are ass at TTs" department.

Perhaps most excitingly, #Freelanda can start in the off season this year already

Roglic will never win the Tour.

Visegrad is really beautiful.

 

[SafeBet]

Looks pretty clear to me, thanks.

Yeah that's the road. They might finish a few hundred meters earlier, at the castle parking.
As @Eshnar said, roughly 5 km at 4%.

Looks quite irregular, though, going by Cronoescalada.

 

[tobydawq]

Poor commentators. They're going to lose their tongues somewhere between Székesfehérvár and Elsöfeketehegy.

Kuss is too important for the TdF team and too inconsistent in GTs.
Jumbo doesn't care that much about Giro and Groenewegen wants a GT.
Replace Bennett with Oomen and Martens with Eenkhoorn/Roosen and you'll get the Jumbo team.

 

[sir fly]

Expected more from the Hungarian stages.
The cancelled design looked better to me.
