Giro d'Italia 2023, stage 10: Scandiano – Viareggio 196 km

[BigCoward]

Ineos with 5 of top 11. Primoz needs eyes in the back of his head.
Also, 14 different nationalities in top 15, it would be 15 of it wasn't for the false Frenchman Sivakov.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

who dnfed or got dropped out of the top 10 today? Vlasov, Vine, anyone else?

Nobody, the next-closest rider not in the first peloton is Barta, who was in 18th.

 

[Gratemans]

So, both Danish stage wins this year was partly thanks to De Marchi.
First because he refused to pull with Clarke.
Then - today - because he (probably) was afraid to not pull with Cort and Gee.

Devils elbow beat me to it I see now

Great effort by the break but a ridiculous chase by the bunch. They couldn't chase down two and a half minutes in 60 kms ? And still lost by 50 seconds...........with 5 kms to go the chase switched off when Astana moved over.

Half of the field was scattered behind the main group after the descent, Astana, Barhain and Trek used all their man to chase.
The only team that maybe screwed up was DSM and SQS, but their rider weren't favourite in the sprint.

Are you counting Thomas and Geoghegan Hart as different nationalities?
(Assuming you're talking GC.)

I love it when a racer wins from a break! Congrats Magnum! GT3!

WOW! What a tough weather day!

Thomas is welsh*, Hart is English



*if he wins he becomes British for a while.

Pretty sure if you're Welsh you're also always British.

I assume he sees Thomas as Welsh, TGH as Scottish or Irish, and Carthy as English.

Pretty sure if you're Welsh you're also always British.

The joke is that whenever someone from Wales or Scotland does well they become British, but they'll return to being Welsh/Scottish the moment they become piss poor again.

I have Welsh cousins and they would never admit to being British (one lives on the Isle of Cav...err, I mean Man

 

[Samamba]

It's looking like Ineos will get more UCI points out of this Giro than teams like Jayco, Arkea and Total have gotten all year.

That is ofcourse if they stay lucky in the last 11 days.

Now I'm imagining ice cream with an ugly moustache on it.

Pretty sure someone already did that photoshop last year.

I'm pretty sure it was this year, but even I don't ever want to see it again.

Yes the chase never looked that organized. The same three riders did most of the work.

You know... you were the person I suspected as having posted that sort of nonsense.

And guess what, I was right:

More like this one

[zlev11]

excellent stage today, I love watching the peloton brave the weather conditions. i'm glad they didn't cancel the first half of the stage, they put on a show. real cycling today.

 

[Bolder]

Think Milan might have been a bit ambitious starting his sprint from 600m to go

Track guy

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Just had a bit time to watch he last 20k, and everyone looked knocked completely cold, the sprint between the three painfully displaying everybody being plain empty, di Marchi for the 2nd time very, very empty
Pedersen, however, looked like a fresh boy, but easy when everyone are completely cooked.

 

[Salvarani]

Gonna be a long second week for many riders with this start to it.

 

[carton]

Great win by Cort. Enthralling stage, particularly given the nothingburger profile, but it's really hard to witness so many crashes and abandons. Hope the weather and the peloton's health improves even if it means less excitement.

 

[BigCoward]

I assume he sees Thomas as Welsh, TGH as Scottish or Irish, and Carthy as English.

This, its how they were listed on one website, but Hart could also clearly be counted as English, which would make a clash with Carthy.

 

[BigCoward]

Thomas has shown himself to be tough as *** in the past. I reckon he'd be happy with pissing freezing rain for a couple of weeks.
