Gaviria again... is it just me or is it like his 3rd or 4th crash this Giro.

Climate-wise, it would be much better to swap Giro and Vuelta: Vuelta raced in May avoids heat waves + the Pyrenees are not affected by snow as much as the Alps in this time of the year, and Giro raced in August/September will usually mean quite nice weather (some heat is possible, but less than in Spain), and no problems at all with high mountain passes/finishes getting cancelled.

The break will hope that the GC teams ride the next climb hard because this will drop the sprinters in the peleton and then of course GC teams will ride tempo.

Bahrain are going full Astana at the front. Have they seen the profile for the rest of the stage?

Caruso attack!

 

[tobydawq]

Is it Caruso in P3?

I've suggested the same before, but I doubt the Vuelta would be willing to give up it's spot after the Tour.

And is Sivakov the fourth guy? How can he suddenly descend so well?

 

[glassmoon]

bahrain risking for no reason?

If they actually try the should be able to drop him on a descent.

What happened, i was out for a walk

italian gps...

 

[noob]

Wasn't this how Caruso attacked 2021 when he ended on the podium? Started on a descent and then went ahead with Bilbao on the climb?

Was it cold and rainy while you were out?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Caruso almost into the virtual race lead already and Ineos shouldn't chase this IMO. All on UAE and Jumbo + what sprinter domestiques there are left now.

 

[staubsauger]

If Spilak was still around this would be the GT for him, he'd unzip his jersey and put 3/4 of the peloton OTL. Still kinda sad that he didn't try riding the 2013 Giro, that one with it's horrible weather would have been perfect for him.

Indeed.

Now you've said it. Weird that of all grand tours, the 2013 Giro d'Italia has been the one where Betancur performed as expected!

Better than in Italy thats for sure

no way it's over a minute between him and peloton - more like 30s from looks of it. not sure what gps is actually showing

Hear me out: The Grand Tour of Utah in May.

Bahrain isn't going to kill Milan for this

He was in second already going into stage 20 and went on a legendary long range attack with Bilbao and Bardet to try and win the giro from Bernal. Didn't work but he still came 2nd overall and won the stage. Great stuff from a great rider

Vine crash.

Barta's bike does not look good

I posted approximately 10 seconds before we got the helicopter images. Every year I make the mistake of trusting Italian GPS...

Vine's bike handling is Zakarin tier.
