Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025 Stage 15: Fiume Veneto – Asiago

Einer Rubio the new David Arroyo?

 

[ice&fire]

This is a huge moment for Einer Rubio enthusiasts

Giro breakaways with Rubio in them are often "interesting"

 

[Heston]

How long before Derek Gee's teammates start pulling the peloton to defend against Rubio?

Pinot thinks the same.

I didn't watch the beginning. Did Tiberi get caught behind the split because he wasn't well positioned or because he seems to be suffering after yesterdays crash?

 

[noob]

I think I will try to dig up Blueroads old TdF beginner thread. Always missed.

That figures. Is this a new metaphor invented in this thread today, or is it in a wider that most of us have apparently never come across before.

It's an internet meme.

It’s an older metaphor but adapted in this thread in a cycling context, I thought the kids would know what I was on about when I said it but foolishly forgot that there is no “the kids” around these parts.

Hard to tell but it sure doesn't bode well for Monte Grappa.

What the collective mind of the Internet chooses meme worthy is truly a mystery.

G2 is going full G2.

V$ne must indeed have been hurt/injured this week, he's on donkey duty.

 

[Heston]

Only 2'55 from the big group to the peloton now.

 

[noob]

Ok at least this is pretty

🎵Heidi, Heidi, deine Welt sind die Berge...🎵

I still watch that old German cartoon once in a while, each time a climb comes up the theme comes to mind.

Monte Grappa, here we come!

Broe lamented why Wine was on domestic duty while Yates was protected

Movistar should work with the donestiques and split the group with rubio on grappa...

They yearn for G2 dynamics.

EDIT: But they are indeed pulling the chase group on the lower slopes of Grappa. Tarling has been caught again.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Climbing: Groves > Gaudu....

 

[Tim Cahill]

I want to see Hugh Carthy's whoop data not Carapaz

 

[SafeBet]

Movistar working well in G2.
