Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025, Stage 11: Viareggio > Castelnovo ne’ Monti (186 km)

Martinez has been so useless for RB here. I don't know why they brought him as it's been same all year

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Plapp doesn't like descending on the steep parts....Back in business now, but steeper stuff is coming a bit later.

 

[Red Rick]

If the peloton swells back to 40-50 guys I don't really see much action unfolding later in the stage.

 

[Netserk]

Fortunato can skip turns for a while now.

 

[Rou]

UAE should now try to ruin Roglic on the shallow climbs like Visma ruined Pogacar on Galibier.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

How sweet if Nairoman could take this stage.

I thought he'd take it easy after bagging the KOM points but he's still going, good to see some shades of yesteryear.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Aleotti coming back now

Plapp's issue with descending is on the wider flowing descents. As we saw on stage eight he is better on more technical and slower descents.

 

[Netserk]

Fortunato can skip turns for a while now.

But only Plapp sits at the back.

 

[Miha81]

I will laugh so hard if UAE plan somehow backfires

 

[Monsi]

These 5 at the front will battle for the stage win. Nothing happens in the peloton. Just riders coming back.

 

[yaco]

I suspect if the leading five co-operate they can win the stage.

 

[SafeBet]

Patron Nairo.

What's their plan?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Dissapointed that we didn't get at least a meme-attack from Ciccone on the climb. At least Tiberi looked not that good and was further back in the group.

 

[Monsi]

What plan anyways? They just set a decent pace that only confirmed the weakness of Red Bull. It was Bernal who lit up that climb.

 

[Rou]

What a waste of this climb. Typical for this Giro.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Baroncini still having an incredible day, back now

 

[Miha81]

Yeah, I see pace dropped. They tested the field but now we are back to usuall passive dragging to the line

 

[Red Rick]

UAE has read my complaints that I miss the Sky era, so they went out, and set a tempo, look strong and do nothing.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Tom Pidcock makes it back, for what reason I'm not sure.

 

[danielzu]

So who was in the group op favourites at the top of the climb? Ans who from the top 25 in gc was missing?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Pidcock having a bad time on the first long, hard climb that was raced hard, why the hell is he riding for GC?

 

[TastyGroceries]

Are Howson and Donovan in the group? If yes it'd make a lot of sense for Q36.5 to try go for the stage.

 

[yaf2]

Uae with no plan or their plan being negated by their own riders🤧 idk why A.yates closed the gap for pelizari at the top of the climb when majka was fighting for his life to try to isolate roglic. Unbelievable
