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

[yaco]

Late clown of the day award for Gijs Leemreize, well done on your, what was that in the end, 7th?

Edit: 9th. yeah well done.

Obviously Picnic are riding for UCI points. Can you blame them!

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Damn, we got robbed of Carapaz vs Roglic part 2. Maybe the Squalo could have rejoined the peloton for old times' sake as well!

 

[Miha81]

Finally a stage worth of GT. Looking forward to weekend

 

[Red Rick]

Say what you want about the mid route, but this kind of mountain stages don't happen at the Tour.

Vegni has blessed us with the most legendary of 2.1 races of in history

That's not about the route. Simply about the level of competition. With Pog or Vingegaard in the race the story of the stage would be about them being selfish because they caught the Astana boys on the climb instead of gifting a stage to the breakaway.

Landa

Him too!

One stage better than the last 2 giri combined

Hard to argue!

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Landa

Yes the way he climbs he certainly would have podiumed on this Giro (or more)or but like Roglic he crashes too much

 

[Netserk]

Was Storer stuck by a wasp?

 

[tobydawq]

Storer is sad that he is finally getting TV time as he has a swollen lip.

 

[Brullnux]

yeah, but as I said before: the mountain jersey isn't worth much. A stage victory is 10 times as important

According to you, sure. But Fortunato already has a stage win, and is in the KoM jersey (his obvious goal for the season) in part thanks to Scaroni. Crazy though it seems, you might have a different ranking of priorities to Fortunato

 

[Faserr]

Aren't they always down when a bike race has finished?

Sibiu Tour is the Limit.

Nah, that's the Volta a Portugal!

 

[Unchained]

Tudor really showed up!!

If your main reaction to today is being salty about Roglic abandoning, then you are not a cycling fan but a Roglic fan. Period.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It ain't over until the fat man gives you the thumbs up. Brilliant race today.

 

[Unchained]

That dude is lanky

edit:

Pellazarri

That cadence crossing the line was scary good!!

Dude, just stop this crusade. It's so typical of you to find faults on a stage like this (other than Roglic' abandon of course) when people are just thrilled that we have a good bike race.

 

[Rou]

Did Ayuso abandon?

 

[search]

Scaroni has been a stellar team-mate for Fortunato, Fortunato has won the KoM and has a Zoncolan win in the past - it's not all about personal glory, sometimes you help friends and teammates. This is part of the sport which, after all, is also a team sport.

I agree about all this, and it would have been a totally different story if Fortunato had won a stage already (this year). But as he has not, I just think the stronger rider should have been allowed to take it.

What if he crashes out tomorrow? So far he has taken nothing from this Giro.

It's a metacommentary on 2022 being terrible because of the field strength. And on the 2011 Tour.

Obviously.

 

[tobydawq]

Think that was Voisard

No, it was Storer.

 

[kingjr]

Wild stage. Bit like Les Arcs 1996, no?

 

[zlev11]

best giro stage since laghi di cancano

 

[Valv.Piti]

A site to check results on instead of PCS?
