Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2023, stage 15: Seregno - Bergamo 195 km

[Ricco']

Why is nobody attacking? There is a rest day tomorrow, rest day yesterday, 74km stage on Friday. Almida, Lenkessund, Dunbar, Roglic, etc don't want to get time?

Half the peloton have a bet on Armirail to win the whole thing.

The other half got covid.

 

[DNP-Old]

Roglic and Almeida making me long for the days of heroic attackers pre BMC Cadel Evans and Leipheimer.

 

[Tim Cahill]

8 seconds is the gap, Mcnulty was closing it but it was important that Healy was ahead on the descent.

 

[glassmoon]

Roglic must be really in horrible shape. The whole Jumbo Visma team is there and they do absolutely nothing.

and nobody is even trying to test him

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Healy not waving at the moto now.

 

[Volderke]

Mc Nulty favourite at the moment?

 

[HelloDolly]

Bens' Achilles is on the flat and sprint

 

[glassmoon]

Healy not waving at the moto now.

well... to be fair it's not that close and it's not a car

 

[Scarponi]

The final two mountain stages could have 100km raids and it still wouldn’t make up for the rest of the race

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Mc Nulty favourite at the moment?

Now that the first moto has stopped drafting Healy, maybe.

 

[Filippo_3467]

Obviously sick Bob Jungels bringing them up the climb. Why even have three week races when nobody wants to race. They should vote to cancel all the other stages because of extremly boredom protocol.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

well... to be fair it's not that close and it's not a car

It was maybe 5-10 meters at one moment.

Okey, where does this years Giro rank with the worst recent editions? Is it worse than 2012/22?

It would basically be the 2011 Tour minus Voeckler then. Would still be somewhat subpar but at least decent overall, which is more than any of us can hope for at this point.

 

[Samamba]

Atleast we get an interesting battles for the stage wins this weekend.

 

[HelloDolly]

The TV editor is also pissed with the peloton
Cant be bothered with them

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Healy caught on the descent by McNulty - not sure what the peloton is doing and don't really care at this point, but the battle at the front is exciting!

 

[Red Rick]

We're gonna get 1 race winning attack and we're gonna miss it cause it happens just as the breakaway winner crosses the line followed by 4 seperate breakaway riders that get priority on broadcast.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Italy is absolutely beautiful and deserves a better showing from some of these GC contenders.
It's like putting me in the driver's seat of a Formula 1 car. I have absolutely no business whatsoever being there.

Sorry, I know I'm complaining too much. I'll shut up now.

 

[DNP-Old]

Okey, where does this years Giro rank with the worst recent editions? Is it worse than 2012/22?

Tour de France 2012 was a beacon of excitement compared to this.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Okey, where does this years Giro rank with the worst recent editions? Is it worse than 2012/22?

Yes, it is. This is even worse than 2012 Tour.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

They should just neutralise the first 14 stages and start the gc today. Healy and mcnulty get a 7 minute lead

 

[Netserk]

I still have Healy to win the stage.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Okey, where does this years Giro rank with the worst recent editions? Is it worse than 2012/22?

Comfortably worse. Last year had the Torino stage, for starters. If it doesn't pick up in the final week, this will be the worst GT in modern cycling history and possibly of all time.

Watching this descent...man...Vincenzo I miss you
