Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2024 Stage 17: Selva di Val Gardena/Wolkenstein in Gröden – Passo Brocon, 159.0k

[Squire]

LOL, Pog looks almost comically unaffected. Actual nose-breathing all the way.

 

[bNator]

No point in this Pog attack
Should save his ammo for the TdF

It was not an attack. He merely streched his legs...

 

[topcat]

Pog totally cooked crossing the line. Excellent gc action for the minor places.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Obviously if he attacked further down he would have crushed him

Yes, of course.

 

[Gigs_98]

That cut from Pogacars sunday stroll to the suffering faces in the group behind was genuinely funny.

 

[sam6]

Pog's tactics make no sense. Why attack if you are trying to have an easy day, and why not win the stage if you aren't?

 

[Extinction]

Look at the difference, Pog Just enters into his rythm and for the others a dark night descends. Ridiculous 😂

 

[Ricco']

Steinhauser to gift his jersey to Pogi?

I don't think it was an attack, I honestly think he just wanted to ride up in a tempo that suited him best, and well that just blew everyone else away. It's ridiculous to say this, but I think it would be harder for him to just totally chill.

I think he just rode a casual tempo for him and everyone dropped. Not sure he even attacked

Agree. I think he just didn't wanna be bothered with some stop/start tactical stuff involving the others. So he just casually strolled on ahead.

Him dropping everyone and him having an easy day are not exclusive.

 

[BigCoward]

His TDF win is a travesty to the sport

He was totally dominant, utter nonsense.
He rides the way his body allows him to. he's 38.

 

[Froome]

Actually, he didn't attacked.

 

[KZD]

Deserved win for Steinhauser, he has been one of the positive surprises of this Giro and has no fear of attacking.

Pogačar once again proving that he is easily the strongest of this Giro and the KOM jersey is almost guaranteed now.

Tiberi once again gaining time on Arensman in the fight for the white jersey.

 

[Scarponi]

He was totally dominant, utter nonsense.
He rides the way his body allows him to. he's 38.

Horrible tour, I put it out of my memory

 

[Faserr]

The father of G. Steinhauser is in the eurosport studio in eurosport germany and crying.

 

[Fantastico]

Congrats to Steinhauser, well-deserved win. Pretty dull stage other than that.

 

[Froome]

Horrible tour, I put it out of my memory

I risk to say Tour 2019 was even worse.

 

[Red Rick]

It's also obvious that Martinez and Thomas aren't even trying to follow for the risk of blowing up, so they just sit on Tiberi instead.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Pog's tactics make no sense. Why attack if you are trying to have an easy day, and why not win the stage if you aren't?

Tomorrow is flat and Monday was rest day, maybe he just wants a good 2-day training block

 

[sam6]

Him dropping everyone and him having an easy day are not exclusive.

Him winning the stage and having an easy day are not exclusive, so why not ride on the front earlier and then do the same?

 

[pihi42]

Pogi was getting a bit cold.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

So many questions about todays tactics in so many team

and yet so little time to try and figure them out

 

[RedheadDane]

It's a strange new feeling to watch a GT where Pogacar is present, and the White Jersey is the hardest fought.
