Giro 2021. (with spoilers )

[Domus]

Moscon did not do his contract negotiations any favours today. 😱

Thought there might have been a few more fireworks today...although WTF were Bennet and Brambilla about ? Pair of dick's.
Great win for Vandrame though, thoroughly deserved !

 

[roadrash]

would love to know what was said between them

Alex Dowsette abandoned

The whole thing is bizarre!

Moscon has been having a great race too in support of Bernal.

Well, that aged badly!

Not sure what went on between Bennet and Brambilla but Bennet was never going to win the sprint and Brambilla has previous for taking silly arguments too far.

I understand Bennet...he's 58kg and as such has zero chance in a sprint to the line. His chance (which he didn't manage to take) was on the last climb. When Vandrame went it was down to Brambilla to get onto his slipstream but he was so concerned about taking super lightweight non sprinter Bennet to the line he gave up. And then he does a ridiculous sprint to the line, baulks Bennet and loses his podium place. Bonkers

That's bike racing...I do hope the two of them can get into another breakaway though sometime soon.

Another sprint day! Hope this doesn't jinx anyone after posting up favourites for Stage 5 (Ewan, Merlier etc)
I'm going Sagan
Favourites 13th stage 2021 Giro d’Italia
*** Dylan Groenewegen, Elia Viviani
** Fernando Gaviria, Giacomo Nizzolo, Peter Sagan
* Matteo Moschetti, Davide Cimolai, Andrea Pasqualon

 

[Adam4868]

Gone for Viviani cause I feel sorry for him 🙄

 

[rich p]

Sagan for me. I've never seen anyone as sad looking as Elia even when he's won...
...if you can remember that far back

 

[Dave Davenport]

I understand Bennet...he's 58kg

Tom Pidcock seems to be pretty handy in a sprint and he's 50kg soaking wet.

 

[roadrash]

Gone for Viviani cause I feel sorry for him 🙄

Tell me you haven't put a bet on him,... think of the children

There teenagers...they can fend for themselves 😁

 

[roadrash]

Nzzolo finally gets his win

 

[Adam4868]

How many times in a sprint do you think...he's never going to catch him ! Great win,takes a little pressure of himself.
No wonder Gaviria started his sprint early...where's his saddle 😁
