Decathlon is flying this season

Stage 4:

Hopefully more action than last stage.

 

[Netserk]

milan the perfect leadout man

big phil would have taken it if mvdp had bothered helping him

 

[QueenStagiaire]

hows the weather looking for tomorrow ? Our weather experts.

There should be some rain showers, especially around the middle part of the stage, rain gets a bit less likely the closer they get to the coast, but not impossible that it rains in the final.

I see, can't really blame him for that.

He was just telling them he was going for first place 🤣

Martin Sicuro could've been the name of the next great Astana rider.

What happened to Ganna?

he was still working for Welsford inside 3k to go, so I'd guess he just took time on purpose

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Milan went too early

for the second time in one stage.

 

[Alexandre B.]

We’re already on the other coast, on a Thursday?

The distance between Lido di Camaiore and San Benedetto del Tronto is like 400 kilometres, quite normal they can do it in 2-3 stages.

Mihkels is an absolute menace in the peloton.

Stage 4

those numbers don't quite add up (would average at 8.9%), so here's the strava segment and another profile:

They used the exact same climb as penultimate one in stage 10 of the 2020 Giro. Quite irregular and rough, unless it was repaved since.

At the end of the video, they turn left tomorrow for a 5k descent and then 9k of flat to the finish.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Likely not but still a slim chance for some GC action.

Both the start and end of that climb are ~30-40m lower than shown in your profile.

Ethan needs to watch tge classic Barry Sheene clip

It's just not right.

What happened to Ganna?

hoping to be allowed in the break tomorrow maybe, he did well to lose 3 mins in 2km

 

[Potomac]

Mihkels is an absolute menace in the peloton.

What did he do?

 

[Squire]

What did he do?

Was shouldering people right and left in the final kilometres. At one point caused a chain reaction that sent a rider (from Lotto IIRC) pretty much off the road and out of contention.

I think today Wout Van Aert takes his first victory of the season

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I think today Wout Van Aert takes his first victory of the season

He doesn't climb well enough anymore to mix it up with the best climbers on a murito, and he also isn't fast/reliable enough in sprints anymore that he's just easily going to clean up from a 50-rider group. He can still win, but he definitely isn't the main favourite here.

There's a decent group of 11 men on the attack now, but del Grosso and Cortina are only 1:30 back in GC, so it remains to be seen how much of a gap they'll get.

I'm not so sure about that. It's only 1.5km, and if you saw him drag Jorgenson group back up in the gravel stage, I still think he has it him to survive or be very close on the top. In a flat sprint with 50, I would think he wins, but maybe you're right and he lost it. He wasn't able to train on it yet due to his ankle injury.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Very nice group indeed. Lets go TdG

I think van Aert may be able to get over the climbs near the front, but so will be Lund then, who likely is faster than him.
