Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025 Stage 17: San Michele all’Adige – Bormio, 155 km

[Tim Cahill]

This is quite a risky move really, the guys behind didn't properly crack and they do have teammates.

 

[Sciatic]

I'm not sure I agree with Carapaz attacking here.

will need a lot of help from teammate in break

 

[perico]

damn, if only pellizari or yates could have followed

Then we wouldn't be talking about Carapaz, but that is the point. Nobody currently in the race can follow Carapaz when he unleashes one of his attacks. If he wants to win though, he can't go into the red like he did yesterday and ship time in the last KM.

 

[Gratemans]

Love/hate relationship with him. Love him due to being so fierce and attacking, but hate him when he pretends to be bad when he's good.

I can totally understand, but I actually have a soft spot for tricks like that myself

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Much a Do About Nothing

 

[dgodave]

Video game white lines.

 

[Squire]

Carapaz caught already.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Sit up, go again later

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Carapaz attack neutralised.
I think he'll try again later on the little climb.

 

[SafeBet]

Smart defense by the maglia rosa so far.

 

[dampframme]

Steinhauser is waiting now

 

[Earns1985]

Damn it,
Steinhauser should have stayed upfront. Carapaz attack had been neutralized already..

 

[noob]

Where is Ayuso today btw?

This descent is crazy

 

[nightowl]

Del Toro played that smart, didn’t go over his limit and closed once the pace went out of the attack. A steadier pace suits him much better than the stop-start style of Carapaz, etc.

 

[Red Rick]

Where is Ayuso today btw?

Still climbing Tonale?

Where is Ayuso today btw?

This descent is crazy

Dropped on the first little climb out of neutral - surprised he hasn’t abandoned already actually

 

[Squire]

Would love a Cattaneo stage win.

 

[SafeBet]

Where is Ayuso today btw?

Gruppetto.

 

[Red Rick]

I am going to vicariously manifest a Romain Bardet stage win into existence

 

[SafeBet]

Would love a Cattaneo stage win.

Or Bardet for the triple crown.

 

[Red Rick]

If Steinhauser is waiting now they are doing literally everything wrong.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I love that he attacked but the stage design today just make attacking the mortirolo a waste of energy. There will always be a regroup

 

[Andre]

this stage should have been on the first week.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Where is Storer btw?
And where is Martinez?

 

[Red Rick]

As soon as Yates cannot drop Del Toro Carapaz should have waited and Steinhauser should have been told to stayin the break and get himself over Le Motte.
