Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2023, stage 17: Pergine Valsugana - Caorle 195 km

A Jakob Piil stage?

Even though that was at the Tour de France.

I won ~$500 that day, the best day in my occasional betting on cycling races period.

Finally an exciting stage.

Help, the Anti-Klöden!!!!!

Tbf this stage is pointless for a breakaway. The route means they've no chance really unless the sprinter teams just aren't interested.

Great relief to finally have a stage that's useless for the breakaway and not for the favorites!

The last three pan-flat stages in third weeks of the Giro have all gone to the breakaway (Cima in 2019, Cerny in that farce in 2020, De Bondt last year). Without Groves or Pedersen and with Ackermann having no and Milan few teammates who will pull, a repeat was certainly possible.

Senne Leysen has expanded his lead by a lot and I think the timekeeping is fine.

 

[RedheadDane]

I hope Leysen takes it!

 

[Samamba]

He definitely ain't making it but it would be great to see

Brief confusion in the Danish box regarding what Serry is doing.
"He's just so used to having a sprinter to ride for."

Hatch went down the conspiracy route and said it was a Belgian SQS-ADC rivalry.

Milan

what a sprint

but did he win?!

 

[Aimar16]

Dainese

 

[Stasat]

Looked like Dainese

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Milans positioning is so bad again. Should have won way more this race tbh.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Why are all the sprinters so bad at doing their jobs?. Honestly remco would get 4th on that sprint

 

[Salvarani]

Milans positioning is so bad again. Should have won way more this race tbh.

He got caught in the last turn. Lost positions.

 

[Samamba]

Actually ridiculous that DSM let Mayrhoffer sprint over Dainese so many times.

Dainese is so underrated.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

DSM is such a joke, they never helped Dainese before today

 

[saunaking]

Matthews crazy long effort, Damn that was strong

 

[Salvarani]

No sprinter has won more than one stage so far

No sprinter has won more than one stage so far

You forgot remco

If Milan could position himself or had a team to help, he would be unbeatable. Miles faster than the others
