Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025, stage 13: Rovigo – Vicenza, 180km

[Tim Cahill]

Who even was the best placed Alpecin rider in the race?

The streets won't forget this memorable 38th from big Kaden Groves (their best finisher apparently).

 

[Miha81]

All this hype for this stage and another sprint finish. Clown show.

Sprint that created some gaps. It was exciting TBH. Just some GC contenders were quite underwhelmed.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Del Toro gained about 10 seconds in the last few days on others. He's really doing a Carapaz, where Nibali and Roglic looked at one another.

20 seconds

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Planckaert could have top-5d here had he not been doing a one-minute turn that cracked Groves after 10 seconds. Joke tactics.

A carbon copy of stage 5 finish

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I mean the hype that followed the stupid move of Ineos.

Please show me some of that hype.

same as in the sterrato stage, Planckaert looked super strong again, though. Could have a shot from a breakaway somewhere

 

[Bolder]

Ayuso must be steaming right now.

 

[Miha81]

Ayuso must be steaming right now.

At the end UAE will be forced to support young gun

 

[dgodave]

I have an old Trek 970 from 1983. I should ride it around after all this.

 

[Unchained]

Roglic, Ayuso and Pidcock all very bad here helps tbh, but even then he had to beat Van Aert and also cracked Del Toro...

Del Toro cracked for sure!! But not broken, still took 3 seconds out of guys behind him, and they are unable to look at his face at the finish, seeing his number from behind!!
Trek doing everything right almost everyday!! And again Vacek absolute monster!! Didn't work but what an effort again!! Wout( 9 years older) gets respectable, deserved second, but 21 yo new guy, Del Toro in same camera shot as 2 of the best in bike racing!! Some pretty elite company to lose to..
Pedersen has a sense of timing and position that is extraordinary!!

 

[Netserk]

Tiberi being 7th today is surprising, his form must be good.

Position also played a big role today with the bends stretching the peloton out at the bottom.

 

[Rou]

Sprint that created some gaps. It was exciting TBH. Just some GC contenders were quite underwhelmed.

Yes, this was expected. I am just angry that Ineos did this stupid move on a puncheur stage like this. They are really forcing themselves but this route is not helping them at all.

 

[pelotonIQ]

can you remove the damn picture? thx

Why?

 

[Samamba]

Del Toro gained about 10 seconds in the last few days on others. He's really doing a Carapaz, where Nibali and Roglic looked at one another.

He's spending energy for hit while others are conserving.

 

[movingtarget]

Another impressive win by Pedersen. Nice attempt by Vacek and Bardet. The pink jersey is looking very confident.

 

[Netserk]

Ayuso dropped a lot in the last 300 m.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Del Toro has gained over half a minute on Roglic just through bonus seconds already, normally I'm on the side of bonus seconds don't matter in the Giro but it's definitely getting into margins where I feel it's slightly negligent to just ignore them.

 

[AlfaLum]

He's spending energy for hit while others are conserving.

Where were others conserving energy today?

 

[Rou]

He's spending energy for hit while others are conserving.

Well, you know in order to win a Grand Tour you have to spend some energy I think.

 

[Sciatic]

I mean the hype that followed the stupid move of Ineos.

People can get excited about something without it being “hype.” Excitement, enthusiasm . . . You can have them for free! No cost, no tariffs!

 

[Netserk]

Oh, and btw: Geero is coming!

 

[EddyMazzoleni]

Ayuso must be steaming right now.

Why?
He was well positioned but simply did not have it in the last sprint. Del Toro also let him have the bigger time bonus at the RedBull sprint

 

[Cycling111]

5 stages for LIDL, 4 of them for Pedersen. And he could win two more. Boring, or that's only for other riders who earn a lot

 

[Cycling111]

Tiberi being 7th today is surprising, his form must be good.

Could Tiberi be the first rider to win the Giro without appearing on screen for a single minute?

 

[Boehmand]

I have an old Trek 970 from 1983. I should ride it around after all this.

It's 12 years older than Pedersen
