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

Lol you could see one rider being late from the heli shot.

"Guys... wait for me!"

 

[KZD]

Respect for Cav still being around instead of leaving the Giro to prepare for the Tour.

Still, if he gets his positioning right, Milan should win the stage.

 

[HelloDolly]

Dennis on the difference between his wins with TGH and Rog

Dennis : Primoz is more controlled ..he likes to keep it measured

 

[Wyndbrook]

very long transfer for a last day crit even if its in the capital.

I guess the days of long unneeded transfers must be limited.

 

[Red Rick]

You have prepared me for my entire life but I was never gonna be ready for an Adam Blythe imitation of Gladiator

 

[HelloDolly]

Love if Ben Healy attacks them with 100 km to go...f**k this *** Im off

Only if we get live reactions from Pinot, Pucchio and Dennis

 

[Lequack]

They should've put a murito 10km from the finish.

"Ceremonial" final GT stages are great for the all the weird impossible scenarios commenters cook up.

 

[HelloDolly]

I think Rog should ride the Tour
He would be a great back up to Jonas and in case anything happens he may get a chance ...you never know with Covid and crashes
And its not like he had that much pressure in the Giro

Wonder how much time was lost yesterday changing helmets and the impact of INOES's approach for riders to not recc the climb

Seemingly Rog was obsessed with the climb having walked up it, ran up it and cycled up it several times even yesterday morning when INEOS were tucked up in bed...the man had a plan

 

[Red Rick]

Blythe: "Riders are telling me Jumbo are riding much faster than usual for a procession stage."

Kelly: "That's understandable, they haven't paced all Giro they have all the energy to spare"

I don't think he walked it or ran up it, that was just a throwaway line when they asked him if he was ever up the mountain and he said he was there by foot a long time ago. Unless I am not aware of more recons he did..

Sounds like Roglic learned from Pogacar at the 2020 Tour,
"It was not just me, it was all the team. We did a reconnaissance and I knew every corner, every pothole in the road, I knew when to accelerate and that's congrats to all the team. I pushed to the end and I made it."

Finishing is Rome is pretty cool, I would argue that this is more spectacular than the Champs Elysees.

Maybe not every pothole. He knows one a lot better now.

It didn't look like this was the case yesterday

 

[Lequack]

UAE and Almeida

Yeah I've honestly always had a bit of a soft spot for these final ceremonial stages.

 

[Lequack]

I think Milan's bike wins the style competition

 

[Netserk]

Gee loses his lead in the intermediate sprint classification. He will finish 2nd there too.

 

[Didinho]

Ineos to the front, echelon time!

 

[RedheadDane]

Gee attacks!

 

[Armchair cyclist]

G'waan Derek!

 

[Aimar16]

Ineos is such an annoying team
