Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025 Stage 4: Alberobello – Lecce

[Boehmand]

Picnic all in track helmets

 

[RedheadDane]

Pedersen pretty far back.

 

[Boehmand]

Pedersen far back, Kooij is too, but 10 places further forward.

 

[Divergence]

You don't think road riders should be employed by a road racing team?
And GTs should have stages for every type of rider.

How about employ a few 120+kg people and organize a few stages which are downhill only? Surely, in your inclusive sport, that would be a good idea.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

According to commentators Tarling is burning 3500 cals/hr. at this speed, that's one heck of a workout.

Only 1km to go, this is such a nervous excitement!

 

[Boehmand]

Pedersen on Kooijs wheel

 

[RedheadDane]

Van Uden wins.

 

[Tim Cahill]

See wasn't I just saying that Casper Van Uden was fastest in the race

 

[Didinho]

Vino will not like this.

Casper!! Perfectly timed leadout from the TT helmets.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Uden takes it. Great sprint.

 

[AmRacer]

Last 10 k was really good racing

 

[Boehmand]

Picnic wins - awesome to be so focused, all in speed suits and track helmets, and then bring it home.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

The aero helmets did it

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Honestly think perderson will win the one again just because I expect Lidl trek to nail the leadout. Chicane at 1km and turn at 300m and I think he will be second wheel behind vacek (or kragh -sorry devils elbow for my lack of lidl trek expertise) out of the turn

Expert analyses

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Chapeau Van Uden and Picnic, lord knows they needed the victory!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The best leadout and a very good sprint, surprisingly classy by Picnic.

 

[Red Rick]

First time postNL delivers on time

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Chapeau Van Uden and Picnic, lord knows they needed the victory!

that was no picnic!

 

[Boehmand]

Expert analyses

Probably written before half his lead out - and himself - crashed?

 

[Netserk]

Had Van Aert found the front and his teammates, he could have served the stage win on a platter after Affini took the front.

 

[tobydawq]

Nice day to pick your first win of the season.

I don't know if I hope that full TT helmet and visor will be the standard for all sprinters and leadouts, though.

 

[Sciatic]

Picnic wins - awesome to be so focused, all in speed suits and track helmets, and then bring it home.

They must be thrilled!

 

[Boehmand]

Both Kooij and Groves looked like rockets in the last 100m, but both lost because of poor positioning (Groves by far the worst).

 

[titan31]

Think it was Bennett almost causing a crash there. Absolutely shut out Magnier and pushed into barriers as he moved across

 

[yaco]

I wonder if Van Uden will get a top ten in the remaining sprints. I feel this is an anomaly.
