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

[QueenStagiaire]

Yup, Majka is literally going at the easiest possible pace.

Looks like the pre-race worries about this stage being ruined by bad placement right before Finestre stage are being at least partly substantiated. I won't blame riders at all this time, they have wanted to do more than route has allowed for most of the race, so one subpar big stage is not something to cry about.

at 350 watts I could hang on for the last climb....
I am far from grand tour level

According to the last numbers I saw from majka on my TV screen you would have dropped them all 😅

 

[Alien Performance]

good for Prodhomme but this is embarrassing otherwise

But the beauty

Happy days for ag2r

more bonus seconds at the finish line for El Toro...disappointing stage again

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Del Toro should attack, could get 15+bonuses here

They aren't trying to win the stage, so I don't think del Toro will do anything. Noone will do anything untill the sprint for second, which will be won by del Toro.

Sad to say this but the most exiting part of this stage for me was sorting secondary literature.

The municipality must be thrilled with these close-ups of the bad road surface.

Sean Kelly has pulled all the mic cables out in protest

Still odd consensus? Do you still struggle to get it?

I get what KOM is saying but just doesn't hold true for WT level racing, there is no such thing as an easy race, you can be on pancake flat terrain and these guys fry each other, The problem with TV and internet is that these guys make it look easy.. Yes terrain with mountains is different challenge, but it's the level of the racers, what they are doing would kill most people.. And this selection is pretty f-ckin' awesome.. Quality talent!!
Have fun with math!!! Will solo Decathelon stallion lose 1:38 in 2.7 kilometers!!

I'm like Reichenbach down hill so I'd need like 3 mins going over the top

Simon Philip Yates you are less than one minute behind to winning a giro, which you chased for many years, please just find some charisma for once in your life

 

[Cycling111]

You would think uae would have wanted the stage win but they are just chilling

Although I think Del Toro would be the favorite, they take the risk that Carapaz could beat him. So they're content with arriving at Finestre with this advantage.

Someone on here likes to tell me that municipalities often like to host Giro stages because it means roads will get fixed somehow

 

[dazaau]

Bernal probably can't believe his luck given he has been hanging on for dear life for half the stage

 

[Red Rick]

Simon Philip Yates you are less than one minute behind to winning a giro, which you chased for many years, please just find some charisma for once in your life

Charisma is just unnecessary weight.

But the beauty

Some people think boredom is necessary to get into a creative mood. They are all just preparing to make some art! It's also why they need their breath after the stage. (And it's really hot)

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Not because the GC riders decided not to take risks.

The five strongest riders in a Giro could´ve overtaken that rider.
And because the Giro's level is low. Since when has Simon not come close to winning a GT, and Carapaz too. It's no coincidence

They are a low level and they dont take enough risks ...seems you want it both ways
They are either too low level for you or they dont take enough risks

If someone else could have nuked this then maybe they should have stayed on their bike...otherwise this is all pointless speculation

 

[Didinho]

That’s a better attack. Torito crawled back but what a gap already.

 

[Scarponi]

Yates grand tour heart break will continue

 

[Salvarani]

Yates just on the limit or saving for one all-in tomorrow

 

[perico]

Yates grand tour heart break will continue

Predictable

 

[Cycling111]

Simon Philip Yates you are less than one minute behind to winning a giro, which you chased for many years, please just find some charisma for once in your life

He's thinking about Finestre
Gee should´ve tried something today if he wanted to win the Giro, but it seems he's content with a chance of a podium if tomorrow one of the top3 explodes.
