Giro d'Italia 2025 Stage 6: Potenza – Napoli

[Samamba]

Pedersen didn't engage in discussions and it would be very much unlike him to ask for something like that.

The Pedersen thing was a joke (doesn't look like he's about to sprint tho, obv benefits him), but I do think it's weird. Doesn't make sense.

 

[Potomac]

Jay Vine's crash DNF record in Grand Tours is so bad at this point.

Started 6 only finished 3. That's some serious bad luck

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.

This take baffles me. Maybe the non-riding casual observer "likes to see" crashes but holy hell I hate to see it because I HATE CRASHING and can relate to how much it sucks to crash.

Not Jay Vine ...he is so unlucky with crashes and was going so well too

 

[Cycling111]

Jay Vine is terrible at road racing. He can't finish a GT

Yes, although this time it was the BORA's fault.

Speak for yourself.

Yeah, that's the problem - nobody will speak of it. But on TV, we always see endless slo-mo repetitions of crashes, cause the TV guys know exactly what sells. Me talking about it is not the problem. I'm not afraid of backlash.

Pedersen talking with his DS, indicating that he has hurt his right thigh.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Pedersen not sprinting today

Hmm idk I think there could be a bike handling issue IMO. Let's be real if you see riders like Geraint Thomas, Jay Vine or even Primoz Roglic in a crash you aren't suprised.

Pink jersey rolling in 10 minutes down and heading to the podium to pick up a new one. We really do know how to make the sport look daft

Gotta skip the lanterne rouge podcast today, benjis soyboy energy will be off the charts

COME ON TACO!

Staggering that Roglic hasn't gone down yet, testament to the top top work of superdomestique Gianni Moscon

With all his racing experience..

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.

 

[Tim Cahill]

V$ne is still in the race?

 

[Landeirovic]

Rai said Vine still in race

 

[Cycling111]

Pedersen is 3 minutes behind. It doesn't seem very professional, even though times don't count.

 

[Potomac]

Jay Vine with a zombie like reappearance?

 

[MartinGT]

Pedersen is 3 minutes behind. It doesn't seem very professional, even though times don't count.

Doesn't seem professional that he maybe injured?

 

[Pippo_San]

All I can say is.
What a travesty.
