Giro d'Italia Giro D'Italia 2025 Stage 14: Treviso – Nova Gorica/Gorizia (195km)

[RedheadDane]

So, the Italians have had a pretty long Giro stage wins drought.
Hey... at least they're not having a weather-drought. I'm sure they're all very delighted about that.

I dont understand cycling organisers

People can maybe watch at weekends and this is when you need to put on your best stages

why a procession on a Saturday

Its not like cycling has enough viewers

Like I said this Giro d'Italia could have been reduced to 10-12 stages. Everything else is redundant.

I know it's harsh, but sadly it's true.

 

[SafeBet]

Why does Mohoric know that?

I have no idea.

 

[RedheadDane]

For those of you who are bored:
The finale in Burgos is fast approaching.
Live on Max (and whatever it's called where you live).

Maybe there'll be something to see here when Burgos is finished

you missed Dries de Bondt outsprinting Mads Pedersen for a single point. Twice.

I guess it won't increase his chances to see another breakaway soon.

But then what would you talk about all those days?

Mads narrowly won the last single point tussle

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

I have no idea.

Maybe Mohoric was on Pogi's wheel?
First witness

 

[Boehmand]

Danish Eurosport showing first the Decathlon tactics meeting in the bus this morning, where the plan is for Vendrame to cover attacks in the finale and Godon going for the sprint... Bennett does not appear to be at the meeting.

Then a pre-stage (French) interview with Godon, where he confirms he is going for the sprint, the interviewer then asks "is that in support of Bennett?", to which Godon replies "I am going for the sprint" (according to the Danish translation on the fly).

Something is rotten in the state of Decathlon

What the heck is Mads even doing today?
Is he Mad?

He has quite a lead when it comes to the points jersey:
why sprint twice (one of which he even lost) for a single point each?
I don't get it.
12, 8 , points... ok, but 1?!
Save you energy for the finish, plus the following days.

Giro d'Italia 2025 Stage 13 results

Mads Pedersen is the winner of Giro d'Italia 2025 Stage 13, before Wout van Aert and Isaac del Toro. Isaac del Toro was leader in GC.

The second intermediate sprint was on a wet surface, too.

 

[RedheadDane]

What the heck is Mads Pedersen even doing today?
Is he Mad?

Yes. We already established that.

 

[Miha81]

Why does Mohoric know that?

They are quite close so maybe Pog told him?

they probably simply don't expact Bennett to make it over the climb(s)?!

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Mohoric is good friends with Pogacar so maybe Pog told him...im sure they discuss all things cycling


Mohoric is also one of my favourite people in the peloton

 

[Boehmand]

Maybe, but I found it odd he was not at the team meeting, and then the weird way Godon replied when asked if he was riding for Bennett.

- and Bennett does have a history of falling out with his teams.

Basically they are actively sabotaging their own product with decisions like that. Given that doing the worst possible with terrain available is a running theme with this years route design, it almost looks like Vegni or whoever is at charge of this race in RCS curently is doing this on purpose, whatever that purpose would be.

I will admit... I'd kinda forgotten Bennett was at the race.
Maybe Ag2r had too?

 

[Netserk]

Will Ineos try something after they closed the original break?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Nice to see them giving Roglic and Tratnik a charity ride at the front like when the tour goes through an unknown riders home and the benevolent bunch usher him forward.

 

[Boehmand]

Slovenieans turning up for the race, as soon as they crossed the border the number of spectators doubled

- Edit: Now tripled

 

[Netserk]

Tratnik and Rogla at the front in Slovenia.

 

[Boehmand]

Dan Hoole in the 2nd row looks like an adult riding a kids race

 

[Heston]

Ineos again wasting a lot of energy for unknown reasons. Maybe they want to be in front for the small descent.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Is this an attack or what
