Tour of the Alps 2026, April 20-24

[Red Rick]

I would expect that Pellizzari has left more in the tank on this climb than Arensman, Bernal and Storer.

 

[Tim Cahill]

It's 19 seconds still, Italian GPS going a bit mad, should be enough

 

[Brullnux]

Motorbike is actively trying to run Pellizzari over

 

[Tim Cahill]

Crazy pedalling descent, go off here and it's all over

Sharp turn flagged going into that fast tunnel, ugh

 

[Mayomaniac]

Crazy pedalling descent, go off here and it's all over

The 180 degree tunnels are crazy when you also have cars on the road.

 

[Brullnux]

I think these descents are more dangerous than narrow/twisty ones. The speeds are insane.

Pellizzari has done very very well though.

 

[Rob5091]

Congrats to Pellizzari and Red Bull- best rider at the race wins the GC.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Pellizzimo. He was BORA's real leader in this race and the strongest of all.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Nice 12th for Gee-West

 

[EddyMazzoleni]

Good perfromance by Pellizzari, when he dropped the Ineos guys I thought he would gain more on the climb but he kept something in the tanks for the falseflat and descent, quite intellignet and calculated riding.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Good win by Pelizzari. He confirms to be a solid candidate for the Giro podium.

Absolutely.

Technicality just reduces the speed and the injury if something goes wrong. And I think most riders will have much more experience cornering at 30-60kph than at 80+

Omrzel 6th overall. Nice race by the Kid.

Finn surley would have finished higher if he stayed on the bike.

 

[SafeBet]

Nice 12th for Gee-West

On track for the Geeeeero?

Only turned 20 in March so another youg 'un.

 

[yaco]

Weird that jayco haven't figured out how to get the best from him. They have done a good job with Schmidt and vendrame for instance

O'Connor was a bit better in this race. In saying that, I am not renewing his contract unless he does a top 6 in the Giro.

 

[Netserk]

On track for the Geeeeero?

we may hope for a backdoor , but no one resurrects like he

 

[Gratemans]

Nice 12th for Gee-West

His name now sounds like someone giving you very vague directions.

 

[Extinction]

Good win by Pelizzari. He confirms to be a solid candidate for the Giro podium.

Yea a great performance when it was called for. Things looking good in sight of the Giro.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Gee-wests Giro campaign might look like it's going Gee-south at this point but you have to consider the history of the Tour of the Alps early-peaker, they've all been felled since Nibali won here in 2013, the race is cursed.

Dee Gee-Wee didn't really peak too early last year, although he was also quite lucky that some strong riders abandoned the Giro, but he didn't collapse like Arensman or to a lesser degree Storer.

 

[Cookster15]

Nice win by Giulio Pellizzari. Another youngster. Haven't seen his attack but must have been impressive. Looks good for the Giro.

More than the attack itself was the continuity Giulio displayed when the gap to Bernal and Arensman was marginal. At that moment he raised his game enough to break them, even if he had to keep the pressure on almost till the end.

GP says: " If you are wondering, I'm winning this GC!"

Good to see EB riding well too!
