Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2023, stage 21: Roma - Roma 126 km

Derek Gee.

I haven't even checked it.

I would have guessed Pinot. Gee must come 2nd.

Roglic's kid stealing the show.

Doesn't he always?
And now he can teach his little brother to do the same! "We go up to the big steps with daddy, and then everyone waves!" (Probably speaking Slovenian.)

I mean Milan looked he started sprinting in quicksand, Ackermann crashed and is terrible anyway and Gaviria and Dainese are tier 4 sprinters. Gaviria hadn't been good in years at this stage.

Great. He still beat them by 20 metres.

Where is baby Almeida?😅

 

[SHAD0W93]

As I said, this wasn't just beating the others. I don't know what's so hard to understand about this. It was an obliteration. And the fact that Kirsch ended up second doesn't change that Milan, Ackermann, Gaviria, Dainese were also beaten.

On top of it being the final stage after 3 hard stages.

Where is baby Almeida?😅

Still in his b@lls

 

[Valv.Piti]

That is not even up for debate, is it?

No its not. Meanwhile, Asbjørn Kragh thought it was and was making a fool of himself again.

 

[noob]

Where is baby Almeida?😅

He doesn't drink so probably he's pregnant

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Still in his b@lls

I didn't think he had any. Good for him.

 

[tobydawq]

No its not. Meanwhile, Asbjørn Kragh thought it was and was making a fool of himself again.

He won me a little bit yesterday, when Bastian Emil and Worre were arguing that it was probably a little harsh to call it shameful how the GC teams had been riding, and he just cut through and said, no, it is shameful because people are not watching cycling to watch what we had been watching the last three weeks.

 

[red_flanders]

Just saw that Cav won and Thomas helped pull him into position, haven’t had a chance to watch it yet.

That’s awesome. Class move by Thomas after what had to be a crushing loss yesterday, and awesome to see Cav returning to form ahead of the Tour. Look forward to watching it!

 

[Lequack]

So what do we do now?

 

[staubsauger]

He doesn't drink so probably he's pregnant

UAE riders are bound by contract to not drink alcohol publicly.

Pogacar can do what he wants though as he's no. 1. I think Ayuso simply does it as well?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Cav
really stood up the the Mark
today

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So what do we do now?

only a few weeks until the Tour of Belgium, aka the 4th GT

Looks like Rogla has plans for junior - ski jumping (or at least landing) first, and if that doesn't work out cycling.

Anyhoo, still have to watch the final sprint, great to hear old man G helped old man Cav out!

Congrats to Cavendish for the stage win
Congrats to Primoz for the final GC win
Congrats to G & Joao for the podium spots

Let's hope next year's Giro is much better than what we got (quite dull TBH)

 

[jmdirt]

CAV!

 

[Ricco']

Gaviria's tactic of trying to surprise his competitors with a sprint launched from a long way has become one of the most unsurprising tactics he could use

 

[Didinho]

Who's gonna remind us now how many days it is untill Roland Garros?

 

[Riek s]

GReat win for Cav. Deserved to at least get a big win in his final year.

Congratz for Roglic to win his 4th GT and for Thomas to podium again at 37y old.

Congratz to us for still watching this shitshow that this Giro turned out to be. Hopefully we have more luck with the next races.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Who's gonna remind us now how many days it is untill Roland Garros?

Me. It‘s zero days.

 

[tobydawq]

Me. It‘s zero days.

Me too. It started today.

Really? Manchester City are more or less owned by the UAE and Jack Grealish pays no attention to that, plus they're sponsored by Asahi.
