/cyc/ - Giro d'Italia - stage 9 - Montenero di Bisaccia

I heard from the peloton that Quintana will attack soon.

I know he's got a reputation of this crazy cavalier who is constantly looking to attack, but he's targeting the giro+tour double this season. I think he's going to try to win the giro exerting as little effort as possible, defending until the final week

The opening slopes of the climb are relatively gentle, flitting between 7 and 4%, but the real hostilities begin once the road kicks up to above 9% with a shade under 10 kilometres to go. From there to the summit, the average gradient is a tough 9.4% and the Blockhaus quickly becomes an unremitting grind.

"It will definitely make a difference because the gradients are very significant," Cataldo said. "The first part, the lead-in, is very similar to Etna in that it's regular, but the last 12 or 13 kilometres are really hard. Up there, being on the wheels won't count for anything and having a team around you won't count for much. The legs will make the difference. There'll certainly be a big battle among the pure climbers."

The steepest section comes with a shade under 4 kilometres to go, when the gradient rears up to 14%, but it would [be a surprise if the maglia rosa group has not been splintered or even scattered across the mountainside by that point. The slopes relent only gradually thereafter, and there is precious little chance to recover save for the briefest of dips in the final kilometre. A strongman opening a gap on the approach to the summit will expect to hold it all the way to the line.

It is, Cataldo explains, a mountain for the pure climbers. Nairo Quintana (Movistar), for one, will surely sense an opportunity to distance maglia rosa Bob Jungels (Quick-Step Floors) and Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb) ahead of Tuesday's Montefalco time trial.

>>75905994
and then save himself during the Tour in case he can go for the Giro-Tour-Vuelta treble.

We have to face facts that Quintana may have to ride conservatively all year - even though he definitely wants to attack.

>18km at 8.2% sounds hard enough, comparable to Mont Ventoux and there are more similarities thanks to the limestone rocks, communications masts and stunning views. Only this is a much tougher climb. Where Mont Ventoux steep in the forest on a wide, regular road this is irregular in gradient, often steeper than 10% and all on rough rural back road that is much slower to ride and has you changing gear a lot, or at least if you’re lucky to have fitted low enough ratios to cope with the gradient and the relentless length.

I think Nibali will be BTFO tbqh.

Whether he attacks, or just follows until 500m to go, Quintana should finish alone just by virtue of being a level above anyone else in this field.

Did you listen to the Cycling Podcast the other day when they were talking about Quintana's training in Colombia? He organizes weekly races against the local amateurs. They are supposedly really high standard and always end with a mountain finish.

This is how he gets in shape in the off season. Truly /ourguy/

Can someone explain just why doing the Giro and Tour double is considered almost unfeasible? These are the best cyclists in the world who can otherwise endure and quickly recover from three weeks, several thousand miles of riding and dozens of thousands of feet of climbing no problem with a month of rest and recovery time between the Giro and Tour. They cannot recover from the sustained fatigue from the Giro after one month?

>>75906272

These amateurs climb better than Dumoulin and Mollema. This is why Quintana doesn't race much. He gets better competition at home

>>75906246

Definitely. They closed the streets for a big parade when Nairo finished second in the Tour. It would probably be a national holiday if he won

>>75906341
You don't ride alone, your entire team is geared towards peaking for two weeks.

It's not about recovery but their training is all about marginal gains at the right time.

Froome focuses his entire season on the Tour. That's literally all he does (and the Dauphine, as preparation for the Tour)

Quintana will have the Giro d'Italia in his legs by the time the Tour comes around. His cumulative wear will mean he's less fresh than Froome

>>75906341

It is not optimal training. Plus lots of travelling sleep disruption, stress, risk of injury.

Meanwhile Froome is training everyday focusing on one single thing. Perfectly planned training with sleep and diet not disrupted.

>>75906341
I think the Giro-Tour double is possible, but not when riding against equals who didn't put their body and mind through those 3 exhausting Giro weeks.

If Froome is 100% at during the Tour, Quintana can't compete unless he's also at 100%.

If Froome didn't exist I absolutely believe Quintana could do the double. He could win them both at 90-95% IMO.

>>75906341
Because no one cares about winning both in the same year

btw, when was the last time a Giro-Tour double happened?

There will never be another Pantani. Even if someone had the talent they would never ride like he did because they way racing is so controlled these days. Closest we've seen since is Contador.

>>75906341
The way you train for a GT is that you plan your training in a way that you peak during the GT. Having your peak during a GT means months of training, so it's pretty much impossible to have your peak last for two GT's. So it's not only fatigue, it's the fact that if you peak during Giro, the peak will be gone at Tour.

Not really. Using an Aero frame doesn't really carry any weight penalty anymore. There's no more need for a specialized superlight climbing bike

>>75907002
there is no real need for superlight bikes in the WorldTour anymore is there? Most aero bikes are about 2 lb above the UCI weight limit whereas most light bikes need ballasts to bring them up to the limit, and its been patently shown that the aero advantages of the former greatly outweighs the advantage of the latter at any speed above 11 to 12 mph I believe

>>75907088
>there is no real need for superlight bikes in the WorldTour anymore is there?
No, it's that they're all superlight. Not 6.8kg light, but light enough.

Five years ago an aero frame would be nearly 500g heavier than a climbers' frame. Now they're basically equal.

Any pro-level bike can be easily made 6.8kg. In many cases, being over the lower limit is because the riders prefer particularly heavy equipment like certain saddles, seatposts, powermeters, etc.

great tactics from cannondale, but it's going to count for nothing

have their been any professional cyclists that became world-class after squeaking into the peleton and going relatively unnoticed for years, that weren't also associated with doping? It seems that if you weren't a distinguished and prodigal talent by 22 or 23, that if you did make the WorldTour then you'd be relegated to bottle duty or being a domestique until you retire

>tfw every stream is laggy

>>75906246
>I imagine with all the success colombians are having in cycling it's becoming a very popular sport over there

It has been the national sport since ever. Not as practiced/followed as football but considered more "traditional"

Kruijswijk tends to be at his best in the third week though.

>>75911892
how can you not like a humble mountain man who grew up in destitute poverty and earned his keep?

Is it worse to be B-tier GC rider with no real chances of winning GT, or to be average domestique?

no more excuses

Based Pinot

tfw still 15 minutes of climbing left

Oh shit, he's not stopping!

>>75911988
the former because you get diminished expectations and therefore less pressure than the latter

What the fuck happened to Quintana?

Why is this sloth suddenly so aggressive?

B-tier GC rider. As an average domestique you can still help your teammates to win things.

now hes done it

Dumoulin always tends to get too annoyed by people latching on to him, he should just calm down and TT up the mountain to smash them on tuesday

massively impressed by Dumoulin 2bh

im sure they could have found 5 seconds to show where he was in the last half and hour. Seeing TvG get dropped again was much more exciting
