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

The same happened in Catalunya. I wonder if that's the reason they snubbed him for the Giro selection.

That might be the reason.

Not blood related, Jan was married to his aunt.

Even dumber connection because they're no longer married.

A day of days for Steinhauser. Also, on this day we got to see the emergence of Pog the Generous, padding his GC lead but without the Cannibal impulse.

Maybe this is the reason he didn't go for the win. He's running out of space!

He'll just have to come back next year. Then he'll wear #1, and thus have more space.

If Bahrain races really aggressively and don't let ineos dictate, they can get the podium with tiberi. If I was them I would be regretting not bringing Woet Pouls in this moment

Tiberi can try and push for a podium if he likes but it's important he doesn't forget his main goal for the season (winning the race for most top 10s without a win)

 

[Netserk]

Why O'Connor? A little too little engaged in pest control for your taste?

He's too soft for Il Giro.

 

[Froome]

He's too soft for Il Giro.

The Giro became soft, perfect race for O'Connor.

Pog gapped them so smoothly, it looked as if it surprised himself! 😄

Thomas is just such a selfish rider and to his own detriment. sending Arensman up the road to make Bora/Martinez ride could've been a tactic used to finish 2nd but he needs to have all his team giving him cuddles up all the climbs. he's one of the lamest riders of all time.

Thomas instantly gave Bernal permission to win the 2019 Tour de France!

 

[CyclistAbi]

It was a 2km murito, though, I don't see what Arensman could have offered other than an extra five seconds or so.

Who knows, but indeed likely less time would be lost. What we know happened is team leader was abandoned and he shifted a GC place, on top of that Arensman didn't secure white jersey.

Can't defend *** on 12%. Arensman was right to ride his own race, and he should ride his own race from here on an out including today if these mindless chickens in the Ineos car had any clue.

I assume that Thomas was/is the (sole) leader and if that is the case then no. As for what will happen in the remainder of the race, that is to be seen. If Arensman will work for Thomas then there is still a slim possibility they can get second in GC back. If not, then likely third place is in jeopardy too. Today the disciplining happened and lets see on what effect it had.

Nah, next year Pogi will bulk up to fight against Roubaix strongmen:

This is actually my photo but I inserted Remco's head previously.

For some weird reason, Robert Förstemann keeps posting pictures of my legs online.

I really hope Thomas and O'Connor will crack on Grappa.

Oh dear, you sound a bit grumpy, had a bad day?
Surely they way to do it is to say riders you like have a really good day.

 

[jmdirt]

I love it when the winner comes from a break! Congrats young man!

No. Some riders deserve to lose - and to do so thoroughly.

I also think it's fine to yell and booh against the riders you dislike.

He's retired.

Congrats to Georg Steinhauser, nice to see the break finally prevail. As someone said, Pogacar looks like he is breathing through his nose. Yes, he does look like he is riding Z2.

Why exactly?

And can you yell everything or are there boundaries? And if so, why are there boundaries?

All great tales of heroes have villains. And it's good to see villains lose - the more, the better.

The practical boundaries are the law, but ideally we should in Europe have at least as strong protection of speech as in the US.
