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

[Tim Cahill]

Caruso's arthritis is playing up

 

[SafeBet]

Vendrame must be pretty happy in that group. Fastest finisher by a mile there

Doesn't look to have his best climbing legs though. Plenty of uphill kms to come.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Dang, I’m stuck at the airport with no stream.

Polti aren‘t up there anymore

 

[Netserk]

Please stop showing castles for minutes on end making me watch the multi-screen

The multi-screen is good.

 

[Netserk]

Polti aren‘t up there anymore

Yeah, a big shame that Piganzoli didn't make the next wave.

I was struggling with constipation, so I very smartly decided to watch this break on the toilet with Visma Van Baarle trying to push a descent on the hoods being enough to make me *** myself

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wilco the strongest guy there, luckily for everyone else he has no eye for a move and has done a lot of work.

Channel your Dumoulin

 

[SafeBet]

This might be the move.

It's good things came out for you okay 🤣

 

[Cycling111]

I don't understand why Visma would eliminate one of its riders so soon.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ulissi has an excuse to skip a bit but sees himself in Pink and pulls through

 

[Netserk]

How on earth did Fortunato sleep after his group was caught.

 

[titan31]

Not great for Fortunato.

 

[Samamba]

It's done. But this isn't great for Astana I think. Fortunato needs to make sure he doesn't just tank minutes now.

 

[Samamba]

Astana might be throwing away pink here.

Well I forgot Ulissi will just get it

 

[Netserk]

Fortunato should help chase, and Ulissi should stop. Even if in vain, it'd help Ulissi win the stage and motivate the others to keep a decent pace.

 

[titan31]

This is pathetic from Cofidis too. Deserve relegation for this

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Fortunato should help chase, and Ulissi should stop. Even if in vein, it'd help Ulissi win the stage and motivate the others to keep a decent pace.

Wrong subforum.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Bardet's legs have always been as thin as a stick but it's amazing what they can do!

 

[SafeBet]

This looks good for Astana if you ask me. There was no chance of going all the way with the whole group and I'd rather have Ulissi fighting for the stage than Fortunato. They're getting the jersey anyway, unless Ulissi has terrible legs.

 

[Red Rick]

Visma getting Van Baarle in the 2nd group and Kelderman in the 1st is peak Rabofail behavior.

 

[danielzu]

Wrong move from astana. Fortunato has a much better chance of getting a top gc result with a few minutes advantage

 

[Netserk]

Bahrain sets the pace in the peloton.

Ulissi has struggled on the previous climbs. Fortunato seemed the strongest.
