/cyc/ - Giro d'Italia - stage 16 - MEME STELVIO QUEEN STAGE EDITION

Tuesday, 23 May 2017
The route of the 16th stage in the Giro d'Italia is sure to detonate the fireworks and slaughter the weak.
Three huge mountains and a steep descent for a finale.
At 222 kilometres, the route leads from Rovetta to Bormio and takes in the Mortirolo and a DOUBLE ascent of the Stelvio.
The beginning of the route is misleading as the first kilometres are downhill before slowly but surely the stage start to show its real face.
Not only the riders are climbing, the gradients do too until in Edolo, at 690 metres, the Mortirolo kicks in.
A famous mountain, yet this is only the second time the ‘Queen climb of Europe’ is tackled from this side.
The ascent amounts 12.6 kilometres with an average gradient of 7.6%.
The last 2.6 kilometres before the top are averaging 9.6% and are marked by a steepest stretch of 16%.
Following a first passage in Bormio the climb up the Stelvio begins.
At an elevation of 2,758 metres the iconic pass is the highest peak in the 2017 Giro d’Italia.
The first rider earns the Cima Coppi, which was won by the late Michele Scarponi in last year’s Giro.
The Stelvio is a 21.7 kilometres climb at 7.1%.
Following a calm opening the riders leave the forest to enter a majestic mountain landscape where rocks set the scene.
Hairpins join in the mix on steep roads with maximum grades up to 12%.
In a 48 hairpin packed drop the riders lose 1,841 vertical metres and at the bottom they cross the border to Switzerland.
On ‘strange’ slopes the 100th Giro climbs back into Italy on the Umbrail Pass.
The Umbrail Pass is a first for the Giro d’Italia. It’s a 13.4 kilometres climb at 8.4% in a scenery that’s similar to the Stelvio’s: rugged mountains.
After cresting the highest point and passing the Swizz-Italian border the road continues on the road that they previously travelled from Bormio up.
Only this time they race in opposite direction, so downhill in the direction of the finish line in Bormio.

It's rather rare then, besides the connective-tissue diseases (such as Marfan) which are usually discovered way earlier the other option is congenital defects. These are often thoracic (in chest).
Other option is genetic defects which cause a weakening in the walls of arteries but those are not likely to cause an aneurysm at that age.
>>76080318
He will have to try for a big lead with the Time Trial on day 21.
Last years short Tour TT he was a minute behind Big Tom and as we saw on the earlier TT, his form in TT's hasn't gotten better.

It is, and you have to descent it before you can climb it because it's the only road going there.

at this point of the race how fatigued are the top riders? Do they feel a lot of pain in their legs at this point and just power through it through incredible mental fortitude, or are they so good that they only feel faintly tired mentally and/or physically?

He definitely needs Ten Dam, that's why Ten Dam is in the break I reckon. As a measure to Quintana dropping him on the Stelvio and meeting up with the 3 Movistar in the break
If this happens then atleast Dumoulin can be paced somewhat by Ten Dam and not find himself alone on the flat like in the Vuelta 2015

why do you think that power meters contribute to racing, while radios impact it negatively?
I see this a lot but it seems backwards to me.
Banning power meters would negate TTing uphill which is the largest cause of boring racing in GTs (IE Wiggins)
I think race radios actually contribute to exciting racing by enhancing the effect of teamwork within cycling

that was a fun tour when lance armstrong came back and had his goonies turn against contador. But you see it with Sky in the tour, a bunch of Nazgul controlling the mountain stages, riders whom without Sky would have a good shot at riding a decent general classification. So against teamwork, cycling is an individualist sport.

The important question:
DID HE EVEN FUCKING WIPE?
>>
>>76081808
I don't mind PM's on TTT or ITT, actually, because of the very nature of it.
The problem with PM is that if you have a strong team you can actually put a pace that you know nobody will be able to break from. And you can do this with remarkable accuracy, because they all ride in borderline doping W/kg territory.
What you see now with team SKY, for example, is that if a favorite attacks on a climb they just keep the pace, there is almost 0 response from them, because they know that whoever broke free wont be able to keep the extra 50W or so needed to do so, and they'll just slowly reel them in. Because in terms of body response its VERY different doing 450W for 10 min or 400W for 12min.
Long gone are the times where if a favorite attacked the rivals had to follow because they could not afford to get left behind.

Zakarin attacked and then Bahrain Merida, did you not see Quintana trying to subdue the attacks?

Nah, Dumoulin is a class act. Still, scummy manoeuvres from Quintana today.
>>
Man, everyone knew Tom would lose time on the climbs these weeks. But not like this... Shit, it's great he still keeps the jersey, but 30 seconds is fucking nothing against Can'tana. Good fight so far, Tom.
>>
>fair play in cycling
c'mon now
>>
>>76082604
It was Zakarin first and then Nibbles later. Movistar tried to stop the attacking for a decent while but they couldn't wait forever or keep the others in check
>>
>>76082582
Quintana didn't even attack once during the entire stage, in fact Movistar waited for Dumoulin for a while until Zakarin attacked.
>>
>>76082601
I am not really blaming Quintana for that (although Movistar is a scummy team). He is just such a boring rider. He has every chance to bury Tom D today but rides passively all day and ends up losing time to Nibali in the end.
>>
>>76082604
To be fair Quintana didn't do anything wrong really, he slowed his team down. It was Zakarin that attacked initially and Nibali that put his team to work
But man oh man it's gonna be so sweet when Dumoulin is going to not lose any more time in the mountains and smack those fools in the ITT
>>
>>76082610
Tom waited on Can'tana after he crashed, so he's based enough for that. Have no expectations from anyone else though.

That is not.
They kept the pace, which was high on its own. Then Nibbles attacked and that was that. Really liked Nibbles until now, but yeah, attacking the main jersey after the guy has such problems doesn't float right with me at least. Congrats at stepping on Tom while he was down I guess.
>>
>>76082633
yeah, but it is not something anyone should count on.
>>76082623
you don't reckon he would do better if he could?
>>
Actually Quintana was superclass today not attacking at all.
>>
I love JUAN's English
>>
>>76082661
yeah fuck Movistar for not throwing nets on other riders for the insubordination of other teams not attacking in a moment of confusion
>>
The giro depends now on Big D's condition, if it was only his stomach acting up he pretty much has it on the bag, but if it's an actual illness he'll just keep losing seconds until the TT.
We'll see tomorrow how it plays out.
>>
>>76082668
It isn't, and it really is the right thing to do if you want to win, sure. It ain't going to win you any fans though.
>>

Welp, it's not like I wanted to see how Big Tommy D does tomorrow.
>>
>>76082684
That's what Tom did for Quintana..
>>
>>76082654
Half way up the Stelvio with Nibali and Zakarin attacking the race was obviously on. If he didn't want to exploit Dumoulin's problems he should have waited for him and rode the last climb while holding his hand.
>>76082668
Only Nibali seemed to be going as good as him uphill so he wasn't on a complete off day, clearly
>>
>>76082710
Take it up to Zakarin and Nibali for being scumbags. I am not enthused with Quintana either but you're desperately trying to force a false narrative
>>
I want nibali to fly off a cliff and watch the entire peloton give him the finger as he falls at a high rate of speed

That's not true at all, only in more recent times.

Just looked at the last upcoming stages. If Tom is not too sick hopefully, he should be able to recover tomorrow and Thursday is the last true challenge. If he survives that, it might happen.
Pls Dutch choke Gods have mercy for once.

Does anyone have the video when they attacked him? I want to see who started the attack and if Nairo is also to blame
>>
>>76083050
this. As he is riding atm, I only see one stage where he could lose big time.
>>
Why are people blaming Nibali suddenly?
Btw I was on the Stelvio today. I missed the first riders for 6 minutes.
>>
Did the swiss guy get on tv ?
>>
>>76083065
I have looked on strava. Was Anaconda in the GC group then? His power goes down when Tom is pooing. So it looks like they waited for a while before racing again. How long are they meant to wait for? Tom was way back. It wasn't like a quick bike change.
>>
>>76084261
Because he "disrespected Malia Rosa" by not waiting for Tommy D. But they couldn't just stop and wait for Tommy to take a shit because Landa & Co were up ahead on the road and they certainly wouldn't be waiting.
Desu I don't even blame any of them. It would have been different if he had taken a nature break halfway through the stage and everyone had gone full gas from there on. Not when you're coming to the last climb of the day and there are rivals up ahead on the road. Just like I don't blame movistar for not stepping off the gas after the big crash right before Blockhaus when they had been pushing hard for ages already.
It's fucking racing, if you can't hold a shit for a full stage then rest of the guys shouldn't be obliged to wait for you just because you happen to be leading the race. Same if you crash out of your own mistake like Quintana.
>>
