Giro d'Italia Stage 18: Morbegno – Cesano Maderno, 144km

[search]

was it Planckaert who did all the work earlier on? On paper he could be the fastest from that group, but of course not if he spent that much energy already.

 

[Heston]

Maestri masterclass incoming? Or a Denz smash?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

RCS must be regretting putting Pedersen, Van Aert and Groves up for today's combativity award.

Maestri masterclass incoming? Or a Denz smash?

Denz is the favourite from this group. Not sure why all the teams with numbers are happy to send their worst option up the road with him, but there you are.

 

[Potomac]

e bikes for recreation...why not?

e bikes for competition...why?

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Denz smash. Don't think it will come to a sprint, one or two will go clear (Denz, Hoole, Van Baarle maybe).

edit: but didn't he go too early?

 

[noob]

cat forcing siesta upon me now stepped down. is the finish worth ice cream?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

yea, perhaps the wout, pederson and groves battle offer more stardom, but one of these "lesser" names now have an opportunity to win a stage in the giro. Lets go.

There goes the Giro stage hunt specialist

cx is a combo of mountainbike and road racing. e bike combo of moto cross and road cycling. So why not eh?

 

[Faserr]

Conci couldn't follow in his wheel.

 

[Tim Cahill]

All Denz needed was a little hesitation and a motorbike in front of him for the next 15k.

 

[Boehmand]

Took me a second to realise Denz does not have the longest chin in the world

 

[Tim Cahill]

Great to see Red Bull really find a new lease of life since approximately 1pm on Tuesday afternoon!

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Planckaert tried to get across when Denz first went but blew up.

 

[Salvarani]

Redbull flying after the anchor that dragged them down is gone.

Go Denz!

 

[Faserr]

Planckaert tried to get across when Denz first went but blew up.

The attack was really strong. Moto helped a bit.
Attacking is good for him now.

 

[SafeBet]

Denz strong as a bull but what are Van Baarle and Hoole doing there if they don't even try to folloow such a move?

 

[yaco]

Everything, I've seem so far on this circuit indicates the stage is over.

 

[Sciatic]

Always happy to see a break take it when the full peloton is chasing. In this case, though, was interested to see a showdown of the sprinters without any leadouts.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Do they all get disqualified if Moscon drops back three minutes now?

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic crashed out, Pidcock is useless, so RCS decides to help Bora out and put the jury car in front of Denz' nose.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is about the most underwhelming way this finale could be playing out. Although tbf Denz is the only rider who deserves it, somehow in a group of 34 riders nobody else had both the legs and the brains.

Gotta love some good G2 syndrome

hard to understand
