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

[search]

I hope we will see the most boring GT stage ever.
Then maybe Vegni will come to some sense and will stop designing such a horrible stages.

well, it all depends on how you see it. We haven't had an Italian winner in one year, since Vendrame took a solo victory in his home stage.

And tomorrow he'll just do the same. On a Sunday. Maybe even with his nonna cheering at the finish. What a beautiful story.

Last years Grappa stage shi*s all over tomorrow's stage.

yeah its a shame it was wasted on a race that was already over

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I was about to say that this is the worst 3rd weekend of the Giro I've ever seen, but 2017 exists.

2004 and especially 2009 were both way worse than 2017. And this year is clearly worse too.

 

[RedheadDane]

So... stage probably a bit too hard for Honoré? And Fuglsang, for that matter?
Three Danish stage wins in a row too much to ask for?

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Maybe fausto Masnada will finally get into the breakaway.

It will be a glorious day

What a f**** sh*t race this has been so far

For italians, not for danes

 

[CyclistAbi]

Somehow the organiser tried to misplace the climbs but it all backfired as we got some GC movement regardless of the profile.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Can Del Toro finish with a bigger gap than Pog last year?

Maybe he'll win the stage and gift his glasses to Pellizzari. It seems to be as tricky for BORA to win stages as it is for Bardiani.

2004 and especially 2009 were both way worse than 2017. And this year is clearly worse too.

I did not see the 2004 Giro. I have some memories of the 2009 one, and mainly the TTs but I always assumed Petrano was on sunday, and apparently I was wrong

Im sure even the most patriotic, mads perderson obsessed danes (if you can imagine such a thing) would be sad to see Landa, hindlet, CICCONE abondon in the manner that they have (not to mention soren krahg). And then you have the gc at this point being 90% decided by crashed and punctures. Danish people surely dont like that.

Last years Grappa stage shi*s all over tomorrow's stage.

And it wasn't even that special. But it's very basic, but solid design.

My strong preference would be Bocca di Forca+Grappa and a finish in Bassano,

Unfortunately with Vegni in charge, Bocca di Forca won't happen, I think it's too narrow for his liking.
Even Bocca di Forca with a finish up Monte Grappa would work IMO.

 

[Skalman]

They go out of their way to make the weekend when people have time to watch as boring as possible, well done. Now only the weather can save this stage or neutralize it, both which would be ok for me.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

The universal panning of the stage design gives me optimism that this will be a good stage.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

When people say this stage is "too easy" but I remember that the last time I climbed Monte Grappa, I nearly lost bowel control it hurt so bad.

 

[skippo12]

Good opportunity for a Guillaume Martin style GC move. Hopefully at least one out Poole, Piganzolli, Harper or Rubio gets into the breakaway.
Pipe dream would be another attack from Ineos. Maybe Bahrain.
