Giro d'Italia 2025 Stage 6: Potenza – Napoli

[Didinho]

That was entirely his own fault, kept going into a gap that was never there. If anyone should even be relegated it's him.

The overhead replay was better indeed. Was just seeing 2 riders going really close to the barriers.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Just like in 2013 when cavandish won, the winner takes the line around the outside as the other better position sprinters fight with eachother on the inside barrier

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

If Moschetti hadn't come off the barriers in the end, maybe you have a point. That deserves relegation and a yellow card.

 

[will-10]

Moschetti closes half the road from when he jumps, will of course be relegated.

The last 300 had a bit of everything...........messy sprint.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Good win for Groves.
Messy day, better delete that from memory, which these days shouldn't be much of a problem.

 

[kingjr]

If Kooij just sticks to WvA's wheel he wins this

 

[KOM]

easier to just skip it every day really

Bizarre finish from WVA.

 

[kingjr]

Bizarre final from WVA.

He did nothing wrong IMO.

 

[Unchained]

Fry bread, ground beef, some tomato and lettuce.

Grew up in the heart of Navajo nation, so in Arizona we enjoy our fry bread with powdered sugar and honey

 

[broppo]

Kooij is a tactical genius!

 

[movingtarget]

He did nothing wrong IMO.

Except get caught in no man's land gave himself no chance of winning.

 

[kingjr]

He only got caught in no man's land because Kooij left him there.

 

[EddyMazzoleni]

That was one of the most disorganised sprint I've ever seen.

Bizarre finish from WVA.

It was Kooji that let WVA wheel go, which was not an unreasonable move. Unfortunately WVA still has bad leg

 

[postmanhat]

Bizarre finish from WVA.

WVA just kept riding. It was Klooj who sat up, and tucked himself back in the chase. Maybe they were trying to get WVA a win after his difficulties?

Years ago I did a MTB race that was a benefit for the school in Cove AZ in the Navajo nation. Afterward the old ladies made mutton / fry breads for the racers. One of my fav race experiences all around.

Wout really did nothing wrong tbf, he was in full domestique mode and brought back the sole attacker and gave Kooij a nice opportunity, unfortunately Moschetti decided to go full idiot mode

 

[Sciatic]

Yes! Nothing like fry bread fresh from the oven!

It's unfortunate but it sometimes happens in sprints.
If Kooij follows WVA he has 0% chances of getting boxed in. He put himself in a difficult situation, perhaps to give Van Aert a chance.

[Heston]

Visma DS is crying about the break getting motorpace today.

Which is of course a problem in cycling but whining about it when the break were 2 riders against a full sprinters peloton seems a little pathetic.

How the mighty have fallen.

 

[The fridge in the blue trees]

People don't want to admit or hear this, but crashes are a large part of popularity of cycling. Or let's say "something happening" is the reason for attention. The images of bikes thrown in the air behind a horde of sprinters just crossing the finish line is what we like to see on the front page. And while nobody wants to see riders being put into ambulances, everyone is a fan of flying bikes. Other than abandoning "flat stages" I see no way out of this.

Ok, just to support this a little, search for "Primož Roglič" on youtube. Among top results by number of views, you'll find his 2007 crash in Planica (ski-jumping), the "hay-bale" chrash and the "opi-omi". The Planica crash ways the most viewed Roglič video on youtube for a loong time.

You seem to like the crashes. A large part of the popularity of cycling? Definitely not, unless you think hard fouls is what makes football popular.

But it's on youtube!!! Yes, and only cycling fans are on youtube, right. And it's the cycling fans that watch those videos, sure. No, it's people like you that watch them, not the majority of cycling fans.


Moschetti? I see no reason for DSQ there, Moschetti has his line, Kooijs tries to squeeze too, makes Moschetti lose balance a bit which explains the second left swing by Moschetti.

 

[MartinGT]

Moschetti relegated. No surprise.
