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

[SafeBet]

Kelderman should slowly let the wheel of Ulissi go.

Heard you and then proceeded to close the gap himself...

 

[Gigs_98]

Wilco, you are not catching Plapp by playing games...

 

[Cycling111]

Kelderman is the active rider with the most top-10 without victories.

Seeing how he performed today, I'm not surprised.
He seemed like the domestique of the all break.

 

[Heston]

Frigo caught by the peloton. Disappointing.

 

[Red Rick]

Arrieta making many friends in the peloton today

 

[Peyroteo94]

I really do not think they care about Roglic having it for 1 extra day or not. Like you said the car things seems more important, even tho it doesn't even matte rthat much. 1st or 2nd car, really not going to make the difference.

2nd car? Redbull is 4th. If Ulissi is in pink, Redbull will be the 5th car.

 

[Salvarani]

This last climb is brutal. Maybe someone will try to gain a few seconds.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Don't think Arietta should get anywhere near Astanas hotel tonight....

 

[Cycling111]

Will UAE work to reduce this gap and maintain Roglic in pink? However, there is a chance UAE doesn't want Roglic in pink to not have the first car tomorrow.

I think Roglic won't be hurt by being the leader tomorrow.
Red Bull car would be the first in tomorrow's stage .He could also lose the jersey tomorrow.

 

[noob]

I just wonder/don't understand why UAE wants to be more hated

 

[Lui98]

Arrieta is a cycling terrorist

 

[Faserr]

Will be close for Ulissi. Bunch will go fast into the last climb.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Arrieta taking the bonuses keeping Roglic in Pink is the most comedic possible outcome.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Come on Plappy, you got this! (Am I the only one cheering for Plapp today?)

 

[Dazed and Confused]

We should see some GC action at the business end. Would be very fitting on this great day of racing.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Boring stage. Plapp was a lot stronger than his rivals. At least, I'm hoping for a GC battle.

 

[SafeBet]

Plapp had never won outside of Australia before April. And now he gets a GT stage win.
I'd imagine he'll be pretty emotional considering his wrist surgery after TDU.

 

[Unchained]

Plapp is absolutely pounding it!! He looks great, bold move, big results!!
And now Arrieta did the silly jump and now is getting gapped!!instead of podium, lucky to get 4th!! Wilco is wilting

 

[Tim Cahill]

Plapp redeeming his dramatic loss to some Greek club riders last month

 

[titan31]

This is going to be really tight for GC

 

[Tim Cahill]

Tommy P attacks, Rog distanced

 

[SafeBet]

Pidcock must hate Astana.

 

[Potomac]

I applaud Arrieta.
He owes Ullissi nothing.

 

[Samamba]

Pidcock must hate Astana.

This guy is so dumb. Why is he once again like half riding for GC. Could've been in this break btw.

 

[Netserk]

*** UAE.
