Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025, Stage 8: Giulianova > Castelraimondo (197 km)

[Ilmaestro99]

Hello everybody and welcome to the stage 8 of 2014 giro ditalia. Diego Ulissi and wilko kelderman are leading the stage. Meanwhile in the bunch, Damiano caruso looks set to attack

 

[Potomac]

My guy Steinhauser getting dropped!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Riders everywhere on the climb. Beautiful.

You get to see a lot more of the scenery this way.

 

[dgodave]

All of them.
But not like it's a competition between Giro and Tour (and Scheldeprijs); none of them takes places at the same time.
And when races do take place at the same time; just watch 'em al.

I was always disappointed by the Tour of California. They have so much gorgeous interesting riding there. But the course mostly favored huge wide boring roads near population centers.

Gorgeous heli shots of all the fresh Spring foliage, visually this is why the Giro is my fave GT. (I know, I'm supposed to love the Tour more...)

You're required to have the Giro as your favourite GT.

I'm sure Arietta is a good boy, but please anyone but him should win today.

Plapp sat on Bardet for a while, then jumped, and has now done the same to Steinhauser. Arguably looks the strongest for now, but there's a lot of descending yet of course..

 

[Tim Cahill]

For the love of god Wilco stop pacing so much

 

[Salvarani]

Plapp!

 

[Heston]

They're getting Plapped

 

[Samamba]

Plappie going for it, always in the wheel and then going at the right time

 

[Salvarani]

Go, go, go!

 

[Samamba]

Does Wilco realize that the way he's riding is actually why he never wins?

 

[Red Rick]

3 guys fighting for a spot on my naughty list. And boy is the battle on.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

If Plapp knows how to descend.....

 

[Samamba]

Plapp about to be passed on the decent

 

[Tim Cahill]

Plapp taking wider lines than early 90s Maradona

 

[Cycling111]

Kelderman pulls too much.

 

[Heston]

Frigo didn't even go with Fortunato and Prudhomme. He must be cooked then.

 

[postmanhat]

If Plapp knows how to descend.....

Surely we all know the answer to this? If he hasn't been caught within a few minutes, would be a big surprise.

 

[Salvarani]

Plapp TT to the finish line now.

 

[Samamba]

Fortunato about to save his pink

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Plapp taking wider lines than early 90s Maradona

Well he did pass through Napoli the other day.

 

[Salvarani]

No bottle for Plapp.

Gee could attack and bridge to his boy, same with people a bit lower down. Thing is bora need to time this so they give the jersey away, they can’t chase too much.

UAE to have Vine pace to bring the gap down so that giving the jersey away to breakaway riders doesn't work?
