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

[Salvarani]

Ulissi in pink would be like a victory in itself for him

 

[Tim Cahill]

Really enjoyed that, great stage, would've been carnage as a week 3 parcours

Why, unless the gap (to Fortunato) is more than 5 minutes they're getting the pink after Tuesday deffo and Astana messed it up
Red Bull would we close to the front/control tomorrow anyway.

Well sounded like their objective was to give away the jersey so not doing that would be a fail for them.

Looks like peloton has slowed down a lot though

YEEAAAHHHH

No its really not. CA is huge and theres vast areas that are rural and quiet. Wild even.

Northern CA is very nice, more like Oregon than southern CA.

 

[Netserk]

Ulissi in pink with ~17"?

 

[Boehmand]

All of Italy holding their breaths right now

 

[Red Rick]

3s rule today?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Roglič asleep again

 

[Peyroteo94]

Roglic lost a second

 

[Salvarani]

Amazing for Ulissi

 

[titan31]

Bora half asleep again and lose time to Ayuso

I applaud Arrieta.
He owes Ullissi nothing.

Plapp was great, well deserved win. Arrieta's attempt to bridge up...blew him up!! As a threesome maybe they could have crossed, but Plapp looks genetically designed to race a bike! He looks aero without even trying, that absolutely flat back, 90 degree bent elbows, quiet upper body, he is like a laboratory design.. Guy is perfect on the bike

 

[Peyroteo94]

3s rule today?

If so, this stage can't get worse. At least Ulissi got pink.

 

[Boehmand]

What a worthy farewell to an Italian hero at the end of his career

Kirby mixing up the year De Marchi wore pink (2021) and the last time he was quiet for more than 5 seconds at a time (2001).

 

[Tim Cahill]

'Family of winemakers' does sound like the kind of phrase someone would use to disparage the competition Eddie Merckx was facing back in the day.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

25 UCI points for free for non-GC riders and Bardiani takes it? I guess the relegation teams didn‘t have the right guys to be let go there

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Nice shots of Astana celebrating once they found out Ulissi has the pink jersey, Vino be proud!

 

[Gigs_98]

This is the first time Ulissi hast ever worn pink right? Almost surprising he's never done it before considering what a long history he has at the Giro

 

[KZD]

Ulissi new pink jersey, happy for him, it was a gutsy ride. Ayuso took a second from Roglič at the finish.

Plapp with a great win, he is a fine stagehunter.

[Mayomaniac]

Astana 1-2 on the gc, nice!
