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

[Squire]

Looking like it's shaping up to be a great stage. Gaps on the Sella seems to have been so big that it's gonna take a while for a lot of domestiques to get back. And before that, all sorts of things can happen with regards to riders going in the breakaway.

'Julie and Alan Philippe'

The man with the most difficult name is in the break. And Ghebreigzabhier is also there.

Caruso was good yesterday. Might have a shot from a break.

 

[SafeBet]

What group is Groves in?

Group-etto.

he also won't do a single turn with Bardet in there.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Caruso as a satellite rider for a later Tiberi attack? Would be a cool development!

 

[Tim Cahill]

In July we will see Visma sending 3 or 4 guys up the road in situations like this, it's a bit of a shame the GC teams seem content

 

[Samamba]

Bardet in that group is a threat for the top 5.

Or putting someone infront that can fall back if needed.

 

[Salvarani]

Movistar on it again, we love you

Already a bigger peloton now.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Movistar COOKING! Double attack from the Peleton while Quintana is ahead, good stuff.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Novak good job to get back but it's going to be a long day for him if he's going to chase down random Bardet and Einer Rubio attacks, should try and calm it down a bit until more UAE guys get on.

 

[Salvarani]

Novak has been great this Giro

 

[Netserk]

Caruso with Ballerini and Groves?

 

[Salvarani]

Pozzo!

Can spot him from a mile away

 

[Squire]

Already a bigger peloton now.

Yep. Still not huge though. Can still be some decent GC action from far out, but it requires the likes of Hirt or Rubio to fancy their chances on the Passo Rolle. Maybe that's too much to ask. In a perfect world, Ineos would play the Arensman card. But that's definitely not happening, it looks like.

Stake Laengen is also there, I think

 

[dercuforever]

Should try and OTL Milan and Merlier, the Matthews strategy, it's been a while since we've seen it

Then Pog has all jerseys, this is also my PCM strategy.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

He is trying but other teams force him to win. Good strategy if you ask me, regarding Tour, to exploit the only weakens Pogi seems to have. Unlimited desire to win.

Bora likely working for Pogi today.

Great post!

Other teams playing 3D chess and luring Teddy Merckx into another stage win and another effort. All these actions inevitably leading to the defining moment: I'm gone I'm dead screamed by the Cannibal on the slopes of Bonette!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pogacar getting his own stuff from the car now, it's chucking it down, going to be a long day

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Group-etto.

Okay, I could have mixed up #11 with another Alpecin

 

[search]

Astana riders always seem to find another gear when Vino is around, but Ballerini up there is still a bit of a surprise. And not what they wanted, I guess.

 

[Netserk]

Conci sitting up, Laengen chasing for Majka?

Valter attacks!

 

[Brullnux]

Alaphilippe the undisputed MVP of this Giro. Seventh break!
