Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025 Stage 21: Roma – Roma, 143 km

sexist throwaway comment: couldn't we have gotten more of a closeup of that paddleboard?

I don't see why wanting a closeup of a paddleboard would be sexist...
Or... did you mean the people on the paddleboard?

 

[Boehmand]

Automation yes. Up to date there's no AI whatsoever.

Ai develops exponentially, so if it has IQ 50 now, it has IQ 100 in a year, 200 the year after, and so on.

It will happen fast.

 

[noob]

Nooooo PR Del Toro ate up awkward Del Toro

 

[Boehmand]

Anyway, enough about the future of custom kit production and gothic architecture - the race is ON - with 106.3K to go, which seems rather early.

HAL 9000 incoming.

 

[dgodave]

Did I miss some hot paddle boarders? Darn.

I'm sorry Biggus. I'm afraid cant do that,.

 

[Boehmand]

Speed is still not very high, it's sort a medium.

Yes, the champagne has been drunk, and we're finally off to the races!

Whatever people chose to call AI isn't and it won't become that either. It's infinitely another thing and it's misleading to misname it. (But I suppose if this conversation continues a mod will delete so I'll stop it here. )

 

[noob]

Honstly some of them looks rather tired even here.

 

[RedheadDane]

And now the Danish commentators are finding cycling-related words starting with 'Rom'. (Such as Roompot, and Rumsas...)

 

[Samu Cuenca]

UAE are not fans of AI. They prefer real stupidity.

It sounds like they've had too much rum.

Pedersen not super eager to sprint for a fifth stage win.
It's all about getting safely through.

That's not how the IQ scale works...

OT: I believe this is the closest to the Tiber the Giro has ever finished in Rome, will it inspire Tiberi?

I don't care what it's called - for my sake you can call it Bob - I was merely talking about what it can do in terms of, even complicated, automated production.

I thought that was cute the first time I saw them I saw them do the champagne (or faux champagne) thing. 40-some GT final stages later, I can do without it. Such a cliche now.

At least make it interesting: in a show of respect for his teammates' massive amount work for him over the preceding 3 weeks, they should have the pink/yellow/red jersey be the honorary domestique for the day: have him drop back to the team car (while the team stays with the peloton) and collect the champagne bottle by stuffing it down the back of his jersey (heck skip the glasses and just pass the bottle) and ride back up to his teammates to pass the bottle around.

It's tradition, it's celebrating they made it through - I like it.

Nice blobelisk.

I still like the tradition but I like your idea too!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Have them drink one glass of champagne for each day they've spent in the race lead. Would encourage more late-stage battling because you don't want to control the race in dominant fashion and then have to defend the lead on the last day after 15 glasses of champagne.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Nice heli shots of the Colosseum

 

[Sciatic]

THAT - is one of the most spectacular views in all of cycling: the motocam shot of the front of the peloton just after they ride past the coliseum, with the walls of that amazing edifice looming over them in the background.
