Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2023 Stage 8: Terni – Fossombrone 207 km

[DNP-Old]

Healy is of a special breed. Forget his Gold Race or Liege antics, this is what he was made for: attack, attack, attack and win stages. He could do this for hours on end if he wished to.

Sometimes i wonder how great it has to be to be able to ride through all these beautiful landscapes. What it would be like to look through the riders' eyes.

Spoiler

Here's what Healy sees:

Apparently Healy got a very good sniff of those truffles while enjoying this view, just watch him go!

 

[HelloDolly]

it amases my how like Dan Martin Ben Healy is ...same way of talking, same accent, same attacking style , same climbing legs and as Dan exceeds in long hard stages

Thats how they breed them in Beaky Blinders land of Irish stock

 

[Netserk]

Thomas said yesterday they went to the front a bit earlier than usual from the top in Napoli because the convention has been for everyone to fight at 1km to go for the position, as to try and pre-empt it.

Thanks. It was curiously early for that.

Skujins crashed on the descent when he tried to get back to Healy. Bike change now.

And how he pulled the group of four away in the beginning. Insane amount of work today.

On German gcn/Eurosport they are arguing that Healy's socks look really really long.
Voigt hopes that there won't be a surprise at the finish line after they (the socks) have been measured...

 

[Samamba]

Minute advantage, ridiculous after all that work in the beginning.

I hoped for a way better breakaway tho. McNulty vs. Healy for example would've been great to see.

 

[Red Rick]

I'm hyped for stage 13.

I'm absolutely convinced Ineos are absolutely gonna blast Grand San Bernardo already?

Why?

Positioning for the descent

They have 50km to look at Healy now, maybe for that reason the early attack was not the smartest move.

 

[Netserk]

McNulty, Arensman, Cattaneo and Vlasov? at a standstill.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Healy's already turned the tables after being on the end of this sort of move twice in a week not that long ago, impressive.

This finale looks perfect for a long Almeida solo chase after he's caught out of position at some point.

If ineos just train it to the finish it would be so stupid I can't even think about it

The riding style of the GC teams is way worse then last years Giro.

 

[nightowl]

Healy has learned from watching Pog and Remco in the Ardennes apparently. Going for a monster solo and getting a huge gap in the blink of an eye

 

[Netserk]

If ineos just train it to the finish it would be so stupid I can't even think about it

The GC riders will race the last ascent, no doubt today.

Ineos racing for second

Remco should easily be able to do the tour at this rate. He's only having to make a Sunday stroll throughout Italy to win

I reserve my judgement until stage 13..

Didnt expect them to light this stage up

Maybe they only ever planned to keep a good position, but it could also be that waiting for Arensman made them change plans.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Jumbo is raising the pace.

 

[houtdffan]

The GC riders will race the last ascent, no doubt today.

Let's hope so. Now, they are simply accepting their slaughter tomorrow

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic sitting so far back makes no sense.

Do you remember how much complaining there was on here about the stalemate in last year's Giro? Aside from that stage in Turin and Hindley cracking Carapaz at the last opportunity there wasn't a lot of serious action.

 

[Riek s]

Healy, what a guy. Biggest relevation this year. Hope he will make it! Deserves a big win in a big way.

the bigger teams will fight for this guy.

 

[Gigs_98]

The road looks really bad. Remco better not have a mechanical with how isolated he is

2 teammates behind him. Can be enough. And Hirt and Vervaecke hanging on for now at the back.
