Men's Road Cycling UCI World Tour 2021 (Giro d'Italia)


Recommended Posts

Ah, COVID-19 is apparently gone in this region of Italy, judging by the climbs filled with people waving their arms and flags in riders' faces. Good news!

Standards of rain-jacket deployment in the peloton are continuing to regress. :old:
 

Looking like one of those neutralised mountain days so far. Break is going to provide the winner, peloton getting off their bikes to pick mushrooms.

Excellent win for Vendrame, beating Hamilton in the sprint. Brambilla not only had an incredible fail shortly before the finish in which he threw away the chance to win, while sprinting for third he also nearly shoved Bennett straight into the barriors. Must be frustrated at his own failure..

Totally missed the fact Gianni Moscon tried to follow Nibali in the final descent, but couldn't keep up and crashed, hehe. He did come back in the main group though, so the peloton is still stuck with him.

 

As for today....yeah, let's say it's a good thing it's a working day, because the entertainment isn't gonna come from the cycling :p

There is a small chance for some drama in the sprint preparation, but nothing as bad as a few stages ago where they went for a hugely difficult final kilometers after 150+ kilometers of basically falling asleep.

Every bit as exciting as billed. Breakaway is in sight, peloton is formed up in serried ranks, historic monuments are getting lavish coverage. 28k to go.

 

Big news of the day so far: Riders are now allowed to throw their empty bidons to fans at the side of the road. Will revolutionise the sport.

That is quite good news actually, it was absolute bullshit to have riders be DQ'ed (!) for throwing away a bottle. This doesn't save the sport or something, but DQ's for nonsense like that does slowly kill it.

Meanwhile, Dutch commentator summed it up nicely when I turned in: "For those of you just tuning in and having missed the first 180 kilometers....wait, I should say that differently, because you missed nothing." 

 

:p 

 

Yeah, boring as shit as I'm sure the organization expected, but at least the final kilometer was fun. Nice try by Affini and great to see Nizzolo finally take a win :cheer:

    • Commentators seem to be glazing them already I see 
    • That should be one of the main things that should be kicked out of both Winter and Summer Olympics. Every single athlete should at least have the chance to compete after the Olympics are actually declared open.
    • If you didn’t know it was figure skating you would think  Kulewska was in gymnastics with his bodysuit  
    • Yes in Slopestyle,    but there athletes who will not compete after the Opening Ceremony, let be honnest if POL as expected will not qualify to the final rounds their Ice Dance Pair will end their competition at the Olympics before the Opening Ceremony    Same is at risk for the French Pairs and Japanese Ice Dance pair, but here we can expect they qualify in the team event among the final 5 teams though  
    • Lots of mistakes by Switzerland, but our guys are finally playing the way they know how to. 3–0 after the first end.
    • Oh sadly us Canadians know too much about that   Just look at Gilles’ and Porier’s performance at the Finlandia Trophy and tell me how they didn’t win gold, there was so much outrage after that 
    • Moncler has announced 's clothes for the opening ceremony. They are....well, something, I suppose. For rain coats they look quite nice.   Flag bearers get the white ones, Bruna the dark version with the, I don't know...hat?   https://www.instagram.com/p/DUaIyN1DExb/
