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

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

UAE inconspicuously putting a rider at the front of the Peleton, Fake-Excuses-Pog ready to line up like that in the post race interview again:

His pink outfit almost matches Britney's as well!

With who? The only sort of climber Bora has apart from Martinez is Aleotti. A strong break is likely to go up the road on Sella. Bora won't get even close to probably keeping the break under 5 mins to make UAE chase.

It depends on how on the limit Martínez currently is, only to defend their GC position or still relatively fresh. If there are some reserves left then Bora should in my opinion test Pogi in a MTF sprint. Properly. It looks like UAE and Ineos and Co. are prepared to make it happen. We'll see.

 

[Red Rick]

Pog can't do it all. He cant gift the break a stsge against Quintana breakaway terrorism

 

[Tim Cahill]

Transparent plausible deniability is the look UAE are going for this Giro

 

[CyclistAbi]

Lets not forget, when it comes to Barbenheimer and Oscar or no Oscar, Barbie has beaten Oppenheimer in box office fair and square.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

What do dumb american movies have to do with cycling?

 

[Netserk]

UAE managing a pace that prevents attacks from the peloton. Some tried earlier on Rolle, but now they are too close to the top for anyone to bridge here.

 

[Lequack]

It seems they are really going to force Pog into another stage win.

 

[Samamba]

So DSM riding...

 

[Squire]

UAE managing a pace that prevents attacks from the peloton.

That was more like closing down that move, I think, and signalling that they will do that to any move. Their general pace allows Caleb Ewan to chill out in the group, so I don't think it really impresses any would-be attackers.

 

[Faserr]

DSM is doing a movistar.

According to PCS for today’s stage.
Most stage wins in one grand tour.
YEAR RIDER STAGE WINS GRAND TOUR
1977 MAERTENS Freddy 13 Vuelta
1927 BINDA Alfredo 12 Giro
1941 RODRÍGUEZ Delio 12 Vuelta
1934 GUERRA Learco 10 Giro
1936 OLMO Giuseppe 10 Giro
2004 PETACCHI Alessandro 9 Giro
1930 PÉLISSIER Charles 8 Tour
1976 MAERTENS Freddy 8 Tour
1929 BINDA Alfredo 8 Giro
1974 MERCKX Eddy 8 Tour
1947 RODRÍGUEZ Delio 8 Vuelta
1923 GIRARDENGO Costante 8 Giro
1942 RODRÍGUEZ Delio 8 Vuelta
1965 VAN LOOY Rik 8 Vuelta
1970 MERCKX Eddy 8 Tour
1948 BARTALI Gino 7 Tour
1919 GIRARDENGO Costante 7 Giro
1975 DE VLAEMINCK Roger 7 Giro
1977 MAERTENS Freddy 7 Giro
1980 SARONNI Giuseppe 7 Giro



So he could theoretically get to the tie at 7 if the cards fall his way.

It’s wild that not only is Maertens on the list three times, but they are three consecutive GTs between July 1976 and May 1977.

Showing images from the finish line in the Giro should be punishable by death.

 

[BigCoward]

It’s wild that not only is Maertens on the list three times, but they are three consecutive GTs between July 1976 and May 1977.

And that he won 28 grand tour stages in one year of his career and only 8 in the rest of his career .

What do dumb american movies have to do with cycling?

Grischa launching Jonas ... Last year this was a real thing.

 

[Salvarani]

DSM we love you!

 

[scribers]

Alaphilippe is Mr Combative

 

[Taxus4a]

DSM is doing a movistar.

Thay are doing what the have to do...to go for the stage and a good GC position.

Of course Pogacar can win any stage no bunch sprint he wants...or almost, he failesd 1st one. Burt you have to try it... The only way Pogacar fail is if the pace is always quite hard. and is as well the only way Bardet can do something. But nobody alredy ride againt Poggi,

Of course if they do this till the last climb is wrong. I think Bardet will attack at the prnultimate climb...if he fells fine,

 

[Eyeballs Out]

DSM are probably not going to be hanging around on this descent

 

[Tim Cahill]

Yeah big descent coming, Bardet has form with this sort of thing

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Thomas quite salty that Arensman didn't wait yesterday lol. What exactly did he expect on a 12% 2km climb? Draft is irrelevant.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

So on ES they showed interviews with Arensman and Thomas, and Arensman said the team only cares about Thomas Podium spot, and Thomas didn't sound so happy about Arensman to leave him yesterday.

 

[Peyroteo94]

They are delivering another stage win to Pogacar? Eheheh

 

[Tim Cahill]

Brocon middle section is very difficult, can see some getting caught out on the first iteration given how bad everyone looked at the start.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Thomas quite salty that Arensman didn't wait yesterday lol. What exactly did he expect on a 12% 2km climb? Draft is irrelevant.

It is not about draft... can you rembember how important was Martinez to Bernal in those high slopes in the 2021 Giro? It is very important to have someone with you in the dark moments, even of you are climbing the Angliru
