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

[Netserk]

Wilco will have to go long. Would be nice if he and Fortunato could get away.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That good breakaway for Cofidis sure lasted long.

 

[Samamba]

That good breakaway for Cofidis sure lasted long.

This is painful lmao

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Short day in the break for Rochas

 

[Cycling111]

Fortunato is now a virtual leader.

 

[Samamba]

Fortunato about to be in pink

 

[Tim Cahill]

Unreal Cofidis fail if they conspire to miss this

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Unreal Cofidis fail if they conspire to miss this

Yeah, that effort turned out to be a dud, I was excited to see them in a break for a change.

 

[Netserk]

Fortunato attacks!

Bardet, Fortunato, and Kelderman with a gap.

First Steinhauser closes the gap, then the rest.

 

[Netserk]

Fortunato again, Van Baarle counters!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Rare sighting of Van Baarle in decent shape in big 2025

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is the first time Van Baarle has looked decent since his Omloop win over two years ago. Some group for a non-climber to be trading blows in.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Bora rowers pulling the peloton, which is now over 4mins behind

Come on, Bardet, for old times' sake!

Moscon is a tractor. That said, the way he's throwing around his lower jaw from left to right...

Tour 2023 pulling uphill?

 

[Netserk]

Grande Dylan!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Van Baarle is racing like a guy who wants another zero on his future contract.

Van Baarle is racing like a guy who wants another zero on his future contract.

I think he just wants the same amount of zeroes 😀.

 

[E_F_]

1-2 for Astana in the virtual GC?

 

[Potomac]

Van Baarle's efforts, a?re they for himself or Kelderman

 

[Netserk]

Still no sustained attack by Fortunato.

He did beat MvdP in the national road race a few months after that Omloop win. But apart from that, absolutely

 

[Red Rick]

For a stage start as chaotic as today, this is sure a perfect break for Bora.

 

[Netserk]

He was strong in Ronde last year until it rained.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Still no sustained attack by Fortunato.

The rest of the stage also favours the climbers and Ulissi doesn't look like he'll be able to follow a Fortunato attempt to split things up.
