Giro 2023 Route.With Spoilers !

[Dogtrousers]

I reckon* he lost only 5 or 6 seconds only with that.

* By counting one-elephant, two-elephant ...

Bugger , but credit to Roglic to win with that mechanical is some ride

 

[Dogtrousers]

Nailbiting stuff. Phew. Roglic can't do things the easy way can he?

And Thibaut gets to keep his blue jumper!

I'm gutted for G ☹️

 

[DogmaStu]

Well, that was awesome. Happy for Roglic, sad for G. Both great athletes, huge talents, big hearts.

You were warned. I can't remember who it was... Oh yes ...

Save your 50p bet Roglic will win it....don't say I didn't warn you.

Well what a great finish. Some very classy comments at the end from G as well. Pleased Roglic won with an amazing ride rather than G having a bad one. The race came good in the end.

Maybe G Went too deep yesterday?

You do wonder if he needed to do that attack with 500m to go.

It was the ten stages of boring defence that lost it, not pretty much the only attack in pink!

Although he should have knocked off when Roglič caught him and ridden his slipstream in.

The annual exposure of part of his back side by Roglic hasn't occurred yet has it ? Odds on then he crashes spectacularly today.

He ripped his shorts in stage 11, I think in the same crash that took Hart out.

 

[kingrollo]

I wonder if this does for 1x what lemond did for aero bars in 1989 ?

Yes I know he had the mechanical - but he probably saved some legs on Fridays stage by using the 1x on the final climbs

Ah! Okay so no chance of him crashing larking around today...

Chapeau to Rogla a deserving champ.
But Ineos rode it perfectly with the team they had.First Ganna,Sivakov and then Tao went out,who I think had a huge chance to win this unfortunately.Maybe they could of played it differently with a full team but going into the last stage with 26 seconds seemed a pretty good tour to me.Nobody predicted how good Roglic would be in that TT,you're forgetting Thomas still came second on the stage.He gave it his best shot,there really wasn't a lot more he could have done.

Ok trying to drum up some enthusiasm for the final stage....I can't 😁
Heart says Cav but head/money going with Ackerman for the stage.
