not entirely true, stage 5 finishes in Messina, not Taormina.

not entirely true, stage 5 finishes in Messina, not Taormina.

That's a bit of a surprise, but I guess Taormina doesn't really need the Giro.

Are flat roads around Messina a differernt kind of flat than those around Taormina?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Taormina is located on a hill, Messina isn't.

 

[Eshnar]

Are flat roads around Messina a differernt kind of flat than those around Taormina?

Yes, Taormina is a lot more hilly. In hindsight I should have paid more attention to the stage being classified as flat.

With only 6 stages classified as flat I don't see it as a big deal. I'll keep my complaints for the hilly stages.

Vegni redemption arc incoming?

The stage to Reggio (201 km) is said to be the longest of the Giro lol

If this is true. Vegni...

 

[Ricco']

If this is true. Vegni...

And it's just another way of revealing the overall short amount of ITT.

And it's just another way of revealing the overall short amount of ITT.

You expected ITT's longer than 201 kms?

 

[Ricco']

You expected ITT's longer than 201 kms?

No, but low TT mileage almost always equals no need for really long stages to set the overall length in the usual range.

That's also the trend with the Tour. Just 1 or 2 TTs and they don't need really long stages to compensate the "lost" kms of the TT days.

I don't think it is true but if it is real this stage would be a human cruelty. I understand Gigs when he says that Fedaia as a MTF is not good, and I agree, but the preceding mountains are so hard and the length of the stage long enough that I cannot see anything less than riders coming in ones and twos.

Personally I don't think it will happen.

So, I wanted to check the route of the Giro out, but turns out they have only revealed the sprint stages and the grand depart. Lmao, wtf is this.... hope this doesnt get too popular in the future, what a shitty way to bring some 'excitement' into the presentation. Like, please.............

Just RCS doing RCS stuff, they really don't know how to do basic marketing.
The should take pride in the fact that the Giro usually has the hardest mountain stages and sell it as "the world's hardest race in the world's most beautiful country".

Would give at least one kidney to see Gatusso manage United

"Wanna see Fedaia? Come to Italy cause we'll surely not manage to get it into the broadcast"

Nah, he should go back to Scotland as a manager. The idea of him being the manager of a team filled with primadonnas does sound appealing to me...

A lot of it hs to do with the Helicopters not being allowed to take off when the weather is a bit bad because everyone is afraid of getting sued if something happened...

Or Movistar.

...7 sprint stages!! 3 too many for my liking...

the longest stage is gonna be 201 km long, so no, it is not gonna happen.

Nevegal-Forcella Staulanza-Campolongo-Valparola-Giau-Fedaia would be over 5,500m of altitude gain and under 185kms.

I really prefer Giau-Falzarego-Fedaia. If they give me that combo I don't care very much what comes before
