Giro d'Italia Giro D'italia 2025 Stage 16: Piazzola sul Brenta – San Valentino

[titan31]

It wouldn't be the first time UAE car has done something like that either.

They sped through the groups at Paris Roubaix to help Pogacar.

They're a law on themselves really

In a not too distant future, teams will be performing the human centipede - while riding - when a captain needs a nature break

I'm afraid to ask

 

[Alien Performance]

Ayuso should get 20" penalty in GC and the UAE car should be thrown out of the race.

20 seconds doesn't seem like enough for that much time behind the car - make it a minute and let the chaos ensue

 

[DarkBlue]

I think the UCI should mandate that rain gear has to be identical to the team uniform, because these days are always a lot of guess work and confusion for the viewers

i really don't understand how this is so difficult for teams.

Surely they would want their rain gear to be standout.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Unless my eyes are messing up, I see blue spots....

 

[Ilmaestro99]

The streets will never forget the loyal work of Fausto for Fortunato

And some people used to try and say he was a bad teammate. Just spite towards a gracious guy like Fausto

 

[Netserk]

If Rog got 20 seconds for getting a small tow in the Vuelta last year, Ayuso needs to get a time penalty here. Just for the sake of consistency.

Yes, the 20" is a must. If the driver can get away with just a yellow card is debatable.

 

[dazaau]

I don't think Bernal necessarily want's to attack del Toro. He's 8th in GC, he might want to try for the podium. But in the Interview earlier he said he just wants to try and if he blows up ok. He's just happy to be riding well.

He wants to try... to win. 😅

Podium would be nice though.

 

[DenisMenchov]

The break lost a lot of time softpedalling this climb, it‘s not looking good for them now.

Break is not really climbers heavy. That was probably max pace for most of the break, especially Astana boys.

That was sketch from memory

 

[Pippo_San]

This stage has the word Bernal written all over it

 

[Unchained]

I can confirm it was outer gloves

Either way, has 3 jersey pockets, only some gels in there, plenty of room for some gloves!! Seeing Polti rider and others with open jackets flapping around like a snapped sail on a boat nobody except for Ayuso is too concerned with aerodynamics!!
Wout is connecting with his inner Vinegaard!! Climbing in the front like a scared deer!!

i really don't understand how this is so difficult for teams.

Surely they would want their rain gear to be standout.

It's partly because rain gear becomes a lot more expensive when it has to be branded in colour, because it's often a material that cannot be dye-sublimated - and thus it's not a product the manufacturers carry as standard.

But if the UCI mandated it on the WT, the manufacturers would go the extra mile.

 

[Samamba]

At this point Astana should start giving Scaroni the points to have him finish on 2nd place, 130 extra UCI points.

 

[Netserk]

Ineos should slow down and let Turner return. Make sure Heiduk gets enough of a buffer.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Honoré has dropped the Peloton by miles

 

[pelotonIQ]

Cameraman doing Fortunato dirty

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Ineos has sat up now

 

[Unchained]

You got to soften up the unknown 21 year old before Bernal launches on the second last climb. Fatigue is cumulative and waiting until the last climb with the weak UAE pace isn't going to cut it

Could be but Del Toro is cold blooded trust me, if he has any genetic flaw it's not liking cold weather, and Northern Mexico is known for little to no rain and moderate temperatures year round.. If Ineos senses he is cold, jump him!!
More costume changes than Hollywood awards show..

 

[Heston]

Ineos has sat up now

And Heiduk is pulling in the front group. Doesn't look like they care about the stage win.

 

[Red Rick]

I just got a phone call, apparently Vincenzo Nibali has retroactively been awarded the victory in the 205 Vuelta

 

[Unchained]

I think he has been demoted.

Del Toro told Ayuso" make sure my favorite gloves get to the car, do it now, like I told you!! "" yes Captain, right away! "

 

[tobydawq]

Honoré is just too strong.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

And Heiduk is pulling in the front group. Doesn't look like they care about the stage win.

Heiduk needs atleast 5 minutes at the bottom of Santa Barbara if he wants to make it over the top and be useful for Bernal later.

I don't think Bernal necessarily want's to attack del Toro. He's 8th in GC, he might want to try for the podium. But in the Interview earlier he said he just wants to try and if he blows up ok. He's just happy to be riding well.

We all tend to forget, that Bernal is a champion with a champions mindset, on one of the biggest teams in the sport.

If there is even a 1/1000 chance of him winning the Giro, he will go for it
