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

[Poursuivant]

Think S Yates team have no faith in his GC ambitions going from what we have seen so far this Giro

 

[Mayomaniac]

10 seconds or not. It doesn't matter in the last week. It's so hard that strongest will simply win the Giro.

There are 2 proper mountain stages, stage 16 and Finestre, the rest is meh.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Do we know who is coaching del Toro?

Freddy Cruz isn't it? At least it was a year or so ago, might've changed since.

 

[Mayomaniac]

I have to say that Germani is a classy young rider.

 

[Samamba]

Come one. Stage 19 has 5000 vertical meters in 160kms...

And with Bernal and Carapaz in this Giro there will be attacks and all out attacks earlier. Bernal might even attack on Mortirolo.

I think it suits him that focus and pressure is not on him.

I think the same. The route of the other stages will mean that nothing happens like what happened two days ago.

 

[ice&fire]

In the absence of Roglstomps Ciccone and Pidcock delude themselves thinking they can win this

Point being he’s been able to follow everything so far, and his team is crazy strong. Gonna be hard to get time on him.

 

[Rou]

Come on Egan! Attack on the next bump. After all this is what Ineos are masters at nowadays. Meme attacks all the way!

Yeah, but stage 19 has an easy final climb the day before the Finestre stage, the penultimate climb is also not that hard and Tzecore comes way too early on the stage.
Edit: Just look what the Giro della Valle d'Aosta did with the same finish last year:

 

[Tricycle Rider]

A lot can happen in 4 days time, Ayuso is probably still feeling the consequences of his crash. Could be completely different in a few days.

Evidently he's still in pain because his stitches popped open and there's some swelling, the biggest concern is preventing infection.

Did he say more about his crash in Strade? I assume he had a concussion that affected him more than his collarbone?

Didn't say anything specific but told me he couldn't train for a long time.

Some riders at the back getting an involuntary (partial) shower.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Well, the spectators are getting some really nice action today.

 

[Didinho]

Looks too hard for Wout and Mads.
Del Toro against Pidcock, Vacek and Roglic.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Scaroni would be minutes up the road with aforementioned altitude training!

 

[Cycling111]

Roglic looked very comfortable in Bernal's attack.

 

[SafeBet]

Scaroni would be minutes up the road with aforementioned altitude training!

I doubt the peloton would let him go since he'd be wearing the maglia rosa.

 

[Tim Cahill]

He's not going to help you much now is he Christian after you just dropped him on the climb.

UAE starting to drop the hammer now, Del Toro wants the stage

First he‘ll take the bonus sprint seconds

 

[Andre]

I wonder if Roglic will gift more seconds to El Toro
