Del Toro would be the third youngest winner of the Giro - the other two were in 1940 + 1930

@cheeseypoof three-peat?

You just might pull it off with zero riders in the GC Top 20

Chapeau, champ

I'll be surprised if he stays with Carapaz on Finestre. The one thing he seems to lack the really long top watts for the long climbs. I sort of doubt UAE can control either stage 19 or 20, but at least 19 seems to set up more like today. If he pops on Finestre, I doubt he can keep the loses to 30 seconds (which is probably what he would need with the bonuses available).

After today I'm catching up. Today is a meeting to conclude a massive work project.

Work is a four letter word.

They capped the elevation to try and not have snowed out finishes.

Seems like they should swap the Giro and Veulta.

I think the bull is a luck at this point and have no reason to doubt him.

There were more sprint type stages this year... that's why I took a flyer on Groves in velo games

I know more names in the American Crit scene than this breakaway group.

BassNBrew · 2025-05-29T11:09:02-0400

Trek, ADC, and Visma with some horrible tactics today. 8 riders between them let a solo win.

Nick Vermeil · 2025-05-29T11:20:13-0400

Wait, I think I have the stage winner on my squad! Not dead yet. but mostly dead

DA RAIDERS · 2025-05-29T11:35:59-0400

Think it’s possible I have a goose egg today.

Down to 5 riders. Ulissi is my highest ranked GC rider and he’s 19th.

Yeah...I didn't understand that at all. You ride to get your sprinters in the break and then let Van Baarle, Houle, and Plankheart ride off. Didn't make much sense to me even those Van Baarle and Houle should have bossed that group. I guess the only sense in it is that Pederson, Wout, and Groves all already have a stage win and Visma presumably has to ride tomorrow. Just weird though and the TnT guys thought so as well.

Nick Vermeil · 2025-05-29T15:05:57-0400

I've still got 36 credits in play. Feeling good.

Just plain dumb. You exchange a 1 in 3 win chance for a 1 in 10.
