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

[Netserk]

Brian Holm complaining that there is a moto behind the break as it give an unfair advantage to the bunch when the break is filmed from the front is just incredible.

He generally complains even when both groups are treated the same, as if the peloton never has a moto in front.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Yeah but they missed that opportunity. If they get caught this is a sprint. Anyways, if you let that that break go you simply don't have a result.

I'm not so sure anymore, feels like a surprising number of teams have this one pegged as a potential breakaway day.

This group has no hope, though.

Now Louis Meintjes in the break really makes no sense

Nope... sprinters stage. Most riders in that big break were there on accident at first. And teams reacting was just cause they couldn't miss this. You could see from the beginning not that many teams were actually interested.

 

[Netserk]

5 man break it is. Such a shame that they couldn't keep the tempo up for an additional 5 km with the big group, they nearly had the chasers surrender.

 

[Netserk]

Ag2r and Intermarché keep trying!

 

[Tim Cahill]

IWG have the wrong rider in the break and I think they realised

Such a letdown that he displaced Worre for the second half of the race.

QS, Ag2r and Intermarché no longer believe in their sprinters.

 

[wirral]

Sergeant De Bondt incoming to issue commands in the breakaway.

 

[Tim Cahill]

What are they doing chasing Van Der Hoorn, just let him go

 

[Devil's Elbow]

There are enough interested teams to get a at least somewhat credible group up the road. So naturally the five up front aren't even thinking about staying close enough to the peloton for anyone to bridge.

 

[Netserk]

Such a letdown that he displaced Worre for the second half of the race.

Now he doesn't understand why Intermarché keep trying when they have Meintjes in the break.

 

[Tim Cahill]

That's that, try again in 3 hours maybe

 

[Netserk]

So Alpecin and Visma will chase. (B)DSM won't.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Visma's lab is computing the optimal plan: 2min gap, tolerance 5s......

 

[AmRacer]

Lots of teams working for Mad Mads

This Giro d'Italia could have been cut down to 10-12 stages like the Tour de Suisse used to be. The rest of the race is fully redundant!

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

littering fine for Bardet?

 

[SafeBet]

Interviewed at the finish by RAI, Matej Mohoric has stated that Del Toro is the only rider who has ever beaten Tadej Pogacar in training.

Why does Mohoric know that?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Maybe there'll be something to see here when Burgos is finished: I'm flipping over to that one for now.

He should have mentioned that before I picked my fantasy team.

For all the grief forum goers give the commentators of these races, I think the Hatch/McEwen/Blythe/whoosits combo is pretty good at filling the air with banter, without talking over each other or making too many factual blunders. Hatch the Aqua Man of the North made me lol

They must think the final climb (x2) is hard enough to distance the best sprinters.

Or - since he did a 225m uphill sprint yesterday, he'll just do a 450m flat sprint today

 

[Boehmand]

Even if it is completely pointless, I am happy to see Asgreen in a long range effort again
