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

[Dazed and Confused]

with this break action, surely wwe will have some GC impact.

That group is way too big

That group is way too big

It will probably fall apart at the beginning of San Pellegrino anyway and then the actual break will go, with droplets behind it.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

That group is way too big

Many of them will drop on the climb.

 

[Red Rick]

Amazing situation for Ciccone to attack, but sadly Vacek wants to try for the stage win.

 

[Netserk]

Probably but at least the names in on PCS they're all good climbers. No idea who else is in there but of the names out, it's a strong group

 

[Berniece]

I would like Poels to win, just so he can get his triple

 

[Netserk]

I think Fortunato should set Poels up for the stage win. Go solo once they are on the proper climb and let Poels suck wheels behind him.

 

[Samamba]

Pidcock is so useless. Why is he once again going for a top 15 in GC instead of going for stage wins in these type of stages

 

[Red Rick]

Gap to peloton not exploding yet.

 

[Heston]

UAE wants the stage?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

UAE doesn‘t want to give those guys ten minutes I guess

 

[Boehmand]

Isn't it awesome how the choo-choo is running parallel to the riders? And the scenery is gorgeous too!

And they had the Giro trophy in the train window, so the riders could see what they were riding for

 

[Faserr]

Piganzoli for pink.

 

[Samamba]

UAE just wants to keep the jersey with Del Toro and Piganzoli isn't that far in GC

 

[titan31]

Piganzoli and Fortunato are decent GC threats (particularly for a top 10 and with stages left).

Also Tudor have Brenner and Stork there. If UAE keep this too close, Storer could go

 

[YavorD]

Wouldn't be smart IMO.
Fortunato wasted a lot of energy, but I still wouldn't give him 3-4 minutes of a gap.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

When you see Wilko kelderman racing in these breaks you realise why has 0 victories in road races in a 14 season carreer

 

[Didinho]

Monster climb. Those 2 hard km’s in the end could surely get something going for GC.

 

[Red Rick]

I don't think UAE fancy the likes of Pedersen and Tarling making it over the climb as domestiques.

 

[Samamba]

This group is gone for 15 minutes and we still do not have a full composition

 

[titan31]

There's decent raid potential here actually.

Storer, Ciccone, Tiberi and Simon Yates all have teammates (multiple for everyone but Tiberi) that if they want to attack, could make things fun.

Honestly think if Storer is in same form as pre Giro he might be the strongest climber here too

 

[Tim Cahill]

Former Giro moral-victor Steven ksfisdjnfisnj will drop half these guys alone

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Pedersen pacing up the 12% ramp. What a beast.
