Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia stage 19 Biella – Champoluc 166km

[QueenStagiaire]

EF upping the pace a little

 

[Potomac]

EF pulling the peloton now?

 

[Tim Cahill]

This is a serious upping of the pace though I'm not sure how Owain Doull is still knocking about.

 

[Brullnux]

A few too many breakaways for Scaroni and Fortunato

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Simon Clarke dropped

 

[Red Rick]

Commentator's pronounciation of Bart Lemmen's last name irritates me an unreasonable amount. They could literally just call him Lemon and be much closer than what they're blurting out

It's certainly in their interest to help Red Bull

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

German Eurosport (or Discoveryplus, whatever you call it) will have Jan Ullrich and Boris Becker later doing a double show, first commentating in the VeloClub on the stage and then doing Roland Garos.

More of these crossovers please, I suggest we put in a permanent transfer request sending Jens Voigt over to Tennis while getting someone like Kyrgios in return. I'd rather have the sound of Nick breaking some microphones than Jens tactical analysis.

Not sure it is. They will catch Steinhauser too early at this pace

 

[Poursuivant]

Fear for SPY today

 

[Pippo_San]

You want to destroy this Giro? You gotta attack on St. Pantaleon

The 28 degree temperature multi mountain stage really gives off sporadic 25 minutes Simon Yates timeloss doesn't it.

Give Young Saint Nick the gravel stage to commentate, so I can hear him say gravel has no place in cycling either

Pace isn't that high. It's a good pace but with Tratnik pulling I think they're only shedding the dead weight.

Agree. The 'Le' in his name seems to confuse them no end, thinking he must be some kind of Frenchman in disguise.

 

[Cycling111]

BORA's pace is slow

 

[Sciatic]

wonderful views~

 

[dgodave]

Poor Adam going full Gollum on the moto.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Steep Part of the climb is mostly over and done with, they‘ll stay at this pace until Joux

 

[Tim Cahill]

Romain the tyrant dropped as expected, drop back and get your young teammate a bottle or two you clown.

 

[dobrien]

Not sure it is. They will catch Steinhauser too early at this pace

Looked like Steinhauser was riding on the front of the break though, seems like he knows he's. going to need to ride solidly to get over the Pantaleon prior to being caught. I think the two goals of A) keep working Isaac hard, and B) having Steinhauser up front need to happen simultaneously here. Just my .02

 

[Potomac]

10 more km of this climb still to go

 

[QueenStagiaire]

DFM has gone missing again

 

[Tim Cahill]

Daniel was told they were going for someone elses ambitions today and didn't quite fancy it.
