The Route: 219km, a slog after yesterday’s stage. the town of Tirano will be humming to the sound of riders warming up as the stage is uphill from the start with 6.7km and they turn onto the climb to Aprica.

The stage is so long that some may not even had time to digest breakfast fully so they may taste it again on the Aprica climb, 12.3km at 6.3%, a large steady ascent and a matching descent. Then comes 20km uphill along the valley to Ponte di Legno and the start of the Passo del Tonale.

The Tonale is another steady climb, 11km at 5.7% and crosses from Lombardia into the Trentino region via a reciprocal descent down to the apple orchards and vineyards of Cles and the feedzone.

The small climb to Giovo 5.9km 6.8% but with plenty of 8% and the last categorised climb of the day. But not the last climb. They take the long dragging road up the Val di Fassa to Canazei. It’s a big main road but rises gradually, call it a whitewater road for the way the road tracks the fast flowing river up the valley. The second intermediate sprint comes after a climb from Fiemme with 3.5km at 6%, nothing severe but a launchpad or at least the possibility of a shake out.

The Finish: a flat finish in the town of Canazei. The road climbs up a drag to the 500m point and then levels out but we’re talking small gradients, it’ll be a straight sprint if a group comes in.

The Contenders: who goes in the breakaway? We could look at who went in the move yesterday and rule them out thinking they’ll be rinsed from their efforts but in the third week everyone is tired and often those able to jump in the moves on one day can repeat the next.

Giovanni Visconti could get the day off and he’s good for stages like this. Over at UAE Emirates Rui Costa has had several goes already. He’s a diesel of a rider which suits this hard course but if he comes in for a sprint from a small group he’s not an obvious pick. Team mate Valerio Conti is another one to watch.

Luis-Leon Sanchez has had several goes but his speciality is the downhill arrival into the finish line and this stage doesn’t offer that. Astana team mate Dario Cataldo could have a go too.

There are many more names but in case the peloton or a reduced form composed of the GC contenders is left then Quick Step have two choices in Bob Jungels and possibly Fernando Gaviria.

Weather: warm and sunny with a top temperature of 28°C in the valleys. No wind.

TV: the finish is forecast for 5.15pm CET. There’s live coverage on home broadcaster RAI in Italy and Eurosport for much of Europe and beyond. Otherwise cyclingfans.com and steephill.tv are the go-to sites for schedules and pirata feeds.

I don't like Nibali specifically because he won the first (hopefully only) stage for Italy in this year's Giro. Nigga got enough them wins so could leave it to some small calibre Italianos like Mareczko or whatever.

Speaking of Mareczko, is he still in?

This is after having lost 25 kilos, mind you. I found one (1) somewhat good looking pair that fits, that requires only a little folding of the legs. At least it's something.

By the way, a bit of a morbid story, but yesterday a 39 year-old guy was out riding here in Denmark when he missed a parked car. His head hit the back window (Berlingo), knocking him unconscious while at the same time smashing the window, causing him to fall and cut open his neck on the smashed glass on the bottom of the window frame.
Rip in peace, unlucky guy.

Similar thing happened to me when I was 8 and got a racing bike for my first communion. It had the shifter on the frame, and while trying to adjust them, hile going around our block, I accidentally rode headfirst into car and broke my wrist. The car also was damaged. The owner of the car came outside and was in blind rage, but then shortly after his gf came out as well and she was all "Oh my god, you poor thing, are you okay?" Then she proceeded to shout at her other half for being a dick to me, and she gave me an ice cream. Good feeling to already be alpha as fuck at the age of 8 and cucking a husband.
>>
>>76096671
Contador can't stop in that situation. He had to attack for the tour win at that part of the course and everyone knew it. So they'd better have their bikes, chains and gears ready.
Waiting in that spot would be absurd.

They did the right thing yesterday, not really waiting but not going for the kill right away either.

>>76096935
Once, at about the same age, I tried to cycle with my hands on the wrong side of the handlebar, right on left and left on right. I cycled straight into a parked car. Didn't get hurt luckily.

I did get hurt three years ago when I cycled home very drunk. Just before I got home I rode into something, broke one bone in my left hand, almost broke one bone in my right hand, and lost three teeth. That was a stupid thing to do, and quite expensive.

About same age, riding around on my very first bike, an old style bmx, and, well I can't even remember what happened but plowed right into a big pile of rusted metal beams and other scraps abandoned behind my apartment building. Through some miracle I was only battered and bruised, but nothing serious. Bike payed a bigger toll though, literally broke in half. Still have no idea how it happened and how the fuck I came out of it with only a couple of bruises.

Did this once too. Ended up swerving and launched OTB to land on harsh concrete pavement with my face. Good times.

>>76097011
Dit was een onderdeel van het scharniermechanisme van een brug. Ben recht over m'n stuur heen gevlogen.

Then some months ago, I was that drunk again and decided not to make the same mistake. Took the night bus, seemed wise at the time. After a couple of corners I began to feel sick, so I pressed the 'stop' button and went to the door, but it opened just a little too late. Drenched in vomit, I apologised to the driver and had to walk home for an hour. One of the most shameful things I've ever done. No nay never no more.

If you find some roads that are less riddden, and on a day with good wind it can be doable.

There is a flat 1k long segment near me that has a KOM of 1:05. Avg speed of 65 and a heartrate of 77bpm.

Really makes you think

Saw a segment once, starting near a parking lot next to a forest popular with mountainbikers. So many 70kph+ efforts with mysteriously low heartrates.

>>76097780
Flag that shit harder than neil armstrong flagged the moon

I saw a guy on strava who must ride around on an ebike or something, just a long chain of KOMs on his rides, every single one of them was already flagged basically. Then there was a normal ride with an average speed of 20km/h, embarrassing desu

you're basically me, slightly better maybe depending on how many hills. We don't really have hills here. But yes, compare yourself to yourself. Only thing that makes sense.

I usually don't. I don't have Strava or anything like that. I just got curious about how I'm doing.

>>76097910
Thanks!

>>76097911
Nice, then we can be shit together!
Nah, not very. Was going across a couple of small islands, so there was some wind going over bridges.

>>76097921
Sweet.
Yeah, it's near impossible to do an accurate comparison justlike this.
I sometimes wish this was Denmark when I'm out tbf. Hills are just annoying, at least the part where you have to go up.
And I agree about the last part. I usually only compare to my own earlier rides. Just got curious today.

This is probably a stupid question. But what's the difference between having the Strava app for cell phones and having a cycling computer (Garmin or something) with Strava on it?

I'm technically handicapped.

Strava app records directly using your phone's hardware, gps can be inaccurate and chews your battery.

GPS cyclocomputer you upload the files directly to strava, has better GPS accuracy, and can track more information and stuff.
>>
Come the fuck on, Cannondale, do something this Giro.
>>
>>76098052
I haven't used the app, but generally

Phone: Pros: the app gets updates, is probably smarter, can do online maps I guess
Computer: Pros: Bigger battery/more efficient, weatherproof, more accurate

Rolland may be a meme but he's pretty strong this Giro except for being terrible in descents

What a mess of a chase

>>76098112
This isn't the first stage he tried to break in, but wasn't probably let go until now.

Alright, cool. Sounds like it might be a good investment. I've only used my phone so far. But the battery time has annoyed me at times. And I have questioned the accuracy too. More information is always nice as well..
I appreciate you taking time to answer, thanks. I'll keep it in mind. Just some other things I need ot get first.

>>76098100
That's not too bad. At least as far as I'm concerned. It's longer hills than I had to deal with today at least!

Wonder if Quintana and Nibali can break Dumpulin if the he managed to recuperate a bit today from his efforts yesterday

I sooner see Nibali launch an assault early on in the stage than Quintana, but Nibali's team isn't great and I wonder if he himself even has the explosiveness to drop Tom on a climb to reach teammates positioned up front

Don't know about you guys but this Giro feels pretty difficult to predict for me, could go any way between Tom, Quintana and Nibbles to me. Tom seemed absolutely dominant up till now and despite the long stage, altitude and unfortunate shitting yesterday he still put in an incredibly good ride on the last climb and descent. Quintana on the other hand looked pretty mediocre yesterday and might be suffering from his crash a few days ago. Nibbles always manages to resurface in week 3 in one way or another, but he's getting older and doesn't seem that strong either
>>
>>76096144
You are not regular Dutch OP right?

I like you both, great effort everytime
>>
Is it me or has thie Giro been really really flat?

I saw Blockhaus stage, that seemed to be the only significant one?
Yesterday too I guess?

What a boring Giro
>>
it's like some people don't even know nibali (not that i blame him for attacking dumoulin)

It's boring because it's too hard. Nobody will attack because they are saving energy because they know how hard it is. And basically nothing happened for the whole first week.

Pointless stage today 230km and 3700m climbing.
