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

[Tricycle Rider]

Poels puncture, danm poor timing.
edit: or maybe not.

Yeah, that was weird. Commentators getting all excited again for whatever reason.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Quintana gets the Redbull.







I'll admit I haven't really looked into it; but please tell me the winner of the Redbull sprint gets a Redbull at the start of the following stage.

No, but they will allowed to get a Red Bull whenever they need one during a stage, like a nitro boost.

Vine not happy with the equipment....

Nor should he be

 

[noob]

So this turned into a GC stage. This giro is rather insane overall

 

[Samamba]

Pedersen closed down 1'50 almost on his own basically.

 

[Didinho]

Pedersen repaying the efforts for what Ciccone did in the early stages. If they don’t try you never know he’s the fastest of the climbers. Pedersen can’t survive the next climb, why not give another teammate a chance for 1st instead of 6th.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Someone told Quintana he was racing Froome for the GC.

I first started following cycling during that era, so Quintana holds a special place in my heart.

 

[Samamba]

Ah Plapp riding lmao

 

[SafeBet]

Mechanical for Carapaz.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Carapaz your time is now

 

[Netserk]

A shame for Poels, but great for the stage. I expect Rogla to closely mark Ayuso, and for Del Toro to make a move before the sprint.

 

[Samamba]

Gap in increasing again. They have realized in front they have to go all in together.

I started with Alaphilippe and Almeida, I'm so ridiculously late to this party

 

[Boehmand]

55 seconds in 13K is doable, but it's not easy, the break might still make it unless someone goes nuclear up the climb.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Surely this group is not going to hide behind pederson on the climb....

 

[AnotherArmChair]

I started with Contador and Shleck

 

[Boehmand]

He will probably be the one to ramp it up and then drop.

 

[Netserk]

Climb:

Finish:

 

[Boehmand]

He will probably be the one to ramp it up and then drop.

And then he drops

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Well done, Mads, the entire peloton owes him dinner tonight

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lots of random ass miscellaneous quite fast 'i'll have a go' sprinters left, some Lidl, UAE, Piddler, Roglic, Rivera, is that Oldani(?!)

 

[Boehmand]

Didn't look completely cooked - and then the next 3 stages are possible wins for him, so he might not want to empty himself completely for a marginal chance for Ciccone.

 

[noob]

Everyone and his aunt on this stage really

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Gap going down, but so happy to have seen Nairo at the pointy end for a while again

 

[Boehmand]

Break is not making it, EF is dropping the hammer
