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

[Tim Cahill]

What is this Fausto

 

[Red Rick]

Nice to finally see Santa Barbara in a good position for attacks, very underatted climb.

It's still in the position of a warmup climb. Descent and finish into Torbole, Riva del Garda or climb Bordala straight after and descend into Rovereto works really well in my opinion. Especially if you put Bondone before it you have a pretty straightforward 4 star mountain stage that doesn't rely on a MTF with the primary climb being hardest at the start.

EF taking over

Fortunato finally coming to his senses. Masnada pace is fine for this climb, better to stay with Scaroni until the last 9 km.

The beautiest of the beauty

EF at the front of the Peloton, Carapaz feeling good after the crash it seems.

A chubby Chiappucci on camera while they show clips of various legends at today's race start, and Holm and Bay - at the same time - say "he's lost weight since he was active"

 

[Samamba]

Fortunato finally coming to his senses. Masnada pace is fine for this climb, better to stay with Scaroni until the last 9 km.

Depends on the peloton.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Lorenzo Germani has improved a lot in the past couple of years. He's also someone who thrives in bad weather so first couple of hours didn't bother him too much.

He was really good in the u23 ranks

Favorite place I've ever visited.

Really don't get why this guy didn't DNF given his body has to heal a straight up hole in his hand.

He had a difficult year, with many crashes, DNFs and minor injuries. I guess he wanted to check how he'd fare in the 3rd week. But surely after today he should DNF, it doesn't make any sense to continue

 

[Landeirovic]

Also visma will pulling i think

 

[CyclistAbi]

So Rogla abandoned today, for me hence this race lost most of its appeal.

On top of that i don't really enjoy to watch another crash fest of the stage it's turning out to be. All in all inclusion of sterrato delivered, took out two of the main pre race favourites, among others, so good job on that, a bit of a circus and a lot of bad reputation again.

 

[Andre]

I wouldn't mind living around that Lake Garda for a month or two

 

[Boehmand]

Here we go, EF attacking the climb now

 

[Cycling111]

Hopefully Carpaz has the legs to win the Giro.

Jefferson Cepeda in his annual tour of the alps form!!!

 

[noob]

In the US we have hours of big pharma commercials!! We have one for shingles vaccine, pleasant looking middle aged woman with a single shingles outbreak in the middle of her forehead that resembles a gunshot wound or Living Dead special effect!! At least during the Vuelta we see Pedro Delgado riding in his kitchen guzzling Kern products!! Don't know why Super Mario doesn't have an ad for hair or suntan lotion..

Funny thing is I was about to get that vaccine but those ads makes me so angry I don't feel like supporting them anymore

 

[Potomac]

Finally the herd is being thinned.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

No Vine around today it seems

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ayuso rides like he's Steve Cummings saving energy to get in breakaways

 

[tobydawq]

Ayuso in the back third.

 

[Berflamand]

Man I don't know if it's because Ilmaestro's enthusiasm is contagious or because Masnada has ridden for Soudal Quick-Step in the past but it really is nice to see he has found a decent level again!

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Not sure about Ayuso's form

 

[SafeBet]

No Vine around today it seems

He was the first UAE rider to drop on Candriai.
