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

Assume at this stage it's just fight for stage win from the front 5 and maybe a small GC fight for a few seconds on the line

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Gap going out a little, if they have 3 minutes at the top of this one, the peloton may let them go.

Less than 3 I would still bet on the teams with good punchuers working to reel them in.

Oh you hush now making me all nervous like that.

 

[Heston]

Mads Pedersen found a new way to waste energy.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Pedersen pacing for Ciccone I guess

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Pedeson had enough of the lame group riding....

Guess not, Lidl be dumb

 

[Boehmand]

San Pellegrino was great with the tempo there but i kinda made the stage more boring than what we would've seen with more guys left in the break.

Yeah

A big break should have gone much earlier, to make the stage really good.

 

[Peyroteo94]

This giro had one epic stage 3 days ago, but the rest has been bad.

 

[Boehmand]

Mads Pedersen found a new way to waste energy.

It's called being a team player mate

 

[Tricycle Rider]

I'll have whatever Nairo just picked up from the team car, please

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pedersen will do his usual, chase like mad looking great on the telly, take 50 seconds off the break in short order, sit up and then the gap goes back out.

 

[Cycling111]

What does Pedersen do? If he wants the stage, let his teammates get to work.

 

[Netserk]

Good for the stage, some pressure on the break now rather than a quiet ride until the last climb.

 

[Heston]

Yeah being a good team mate for Del Toro who will win the stage.

 

[noob]

OMG I thought Pouls was retired

Absolutely gorgeous scenery today!

 

[Monsi]

What does Pedersen do? If he wants the stage, let his teammates get to work.

Probably for Ciccone or Vacek

 

[Boehmand]

What does Pedersen do? If he wants the stage, let his teammates get to work.

Must be because they think Ciccone is the better bet for the win.

- or maybe he's just bored, who the f... knows by now

 

[QueenStagiaire]

What does Pedersen do? If he wants the stage, let his teammates get to work.

It would be impossible to control for Pedersen on the final climb.

 

[SafeBet]

Working for Ciccone.
Now actually dropping the peloton

 

[Heston]

Probably for Ciccone or Vacek

Vacek has no chance. His climbing is too weak survive the last climb.

Ciccone winning a sprint must be their plan, but very doubtful.

 

[Netserk]

Hehe, Lidl better put the rest of the team up behind Pedersen.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Bahrain in a pickle. Bilboa might be the strongest sprinter in the front group, but Tiberi could use a bridge if the peloton gets closer.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Nairoman sandbagging the break, it's like old times

 

[Boehmand]

WTF - is he going alone now?

I - JUST - CAN'T

 

[SafeBet]

Probably for Ciccone or Vacek

Vacek is not in the peloton.
