Gestern ist Radprofi Gino Mäder (26) bei Tour de Suisse schwer gestürzt und ist heute verstorben. Was mich beunruhigt, ist das dieser junge Mann Anfang Mai aufgrund einer #Covid Erkrankung nicht am #Giro Italia teilnehmen konnte. Werden bei den Geschwindigkeiten im Radsport…
…und den enorm langen Konzentrationszeiten die erforderlich sind vergleichbare Testungen wie bei Piloten in Australien gemacht um Fahrer nach so kurzer Zeit wieder als fit zu erklären? Weiß das jemand?

In merito alla polemica nata in #RAI sulle tappe troppo noiose del #GIRO mi permetto di segnalare qualche piccolo accorgimento per il bene dello spettacolo e del divertimento del pubblico a casa. Non ringraziatemi.

Sosta ai box stile formula 1 per cambiare entrambe le ruote. Da fare almeno 3 volte una delle quali a 5 km dall'arrivo.
A ogni rifornimento il corridore deve scegliere tra 3 borracce. Una di queste contiene del lassativo.

#Giro Preview alert!

In this thread I'll take a look at the Giro course. Later this week I'll post my teams preview + fantasy team tips and classifications. Short and simple, in my own style. First some general observations:
- Giro for sprinters. If you can climb this Giro offers you 10+ chances. Looking at you Mads, Bling, Albanese.
- Add up the 3 time trials and the GC days and there's not much room for break away artists.
- However, stage 4 offers a beautiful chance to take Giro glory and pink.
- stage 1: TT (19.6 km). Ganna, Kung, Remco, Roglic
- stage 2: Bunch sprint
- stage 3: Reduced sprint. Big day for Mads/Bling
- stage 4: Break. Pink for grabs. Perfect timing to give the jersey away. Big day for those already in great form. Did anyone say Healy, Lafay?

Here's an overview of the #Giro d'Italia 2023 route. 🇮🇹💕

Stage 1 to 4 are a solid start: a 18.3 KM ITT, a versatile & a pure sprint stage and a typical first uphill test. ⤵️
Stage 5-8 continue with opportunities for sprinters, combined with the first mountain-top finish, Campo Imperatore on Stage 7. 💥

Day for the puncheurs or breakaway on Stage 8. ⤵️
@giroditalia Stage 9-12 continues with another flat ITT of 33.6 KM. ⏱️

At first glance, Stage 10 & 12 could either be breakaway or versatile sprint stages. Stage 11 is a pretty clear sprint though. ⤵️

Hoy, el #Giro d'Italia escala el Passo Fedaia. La Marmolada. El ‘cementerio de los campeones’, por tantas 'maglia rosa' perdidas en ella.

Ésta es la leyenda de un puerto mítico y definitorio, de eternas rectas y empinadas rampas, escenario de exhibiciones y traiciones. Image
Empecemos por aclarar términos:

La Marmolada es "la Reina de los Dolomitas": el macizo más alto de este bello sector de los Alpes. Está coronada por un glaciar sobrecogedor.

El Passo Fedaia es la carretera más elevada que escala La Marmolada. Culmina a 2057 metros de altitud.
🗨 “Nunca he pasado tanto miedo sobre la bici”.

Así recuerda Stephen Roche la ascensión de 1987. Venía de traicionar a su compañero Visentini para quitarle el liderato. Subiendo La Marmolada, los 'tifosi' le escupieron con la boca llena de vino para manchar su 'maglia rosa'.

Emilia-Romagna, where we are spending this #Giro stage, is a region which has experienced unstable times for centuries, especially during the Middle Ages, when its central position in the Peninsula made it the object of ambition of many powerful men of the era,
including Cesare Borgia and Louis Xll, the King of France. The former was the son of Pope Alexander Vl (whose controversial actions during his 11 years as the head of the Catholic Church more or less ignited the Protestant Reformation) and wanted to unite and rule all of
Italy – hence his motto “Aut Caesar, aut nihil”). The latter invaded Italy and enforced his claim on several territories, taking advantage of Ludovico “Il Moro” Sforza's incredible diplomatic error of rolling out the red carpet for the French back in 1494 in an act of panic,

Il Giro d'Italia 2022 partirà, come era noto da tempo, da Budapest, capitale dell'Ungheria 🇭🇺. Sarà la 14esima volta che la Corsa Rosa partirà fuori dai confini nazionali. Quali sono state le grandi partenze dall'estero nella storia del #Giro? 🗺️ A Thread 👇 #VentagliThread
La prima partenza dall'estero nella storia del Giro d'Italia avvenne nel 1965 da San Marino 🇸🇲. Quella edizione della corsa fu vinta da Vittorio Adorni mentre a trionfare nella prima tappa, la San Marino - Perugia, fu Michele Dancelli 📸
L'anno successivo (1966) la partenza avvenne da Montecarlo 🇲🇨. La presentazione delle squadre (in notturna) fu trasmessa in Eurovisione alla presenza del Principe Ranieri e della Principessa Grace. La prima tappa, la Montecarlo - Diano Marina fu vinta da Vito Taccone.

The 2021 Men's WT season is over. Time to judge! 😈

I'll be covering the teams alphabetically, analysing their season performances & results, based on their team goals, philisophies and 2020 transfer strategy.

I'd love to hear your takes too. 😃

See the thread below. 👇 Image
AG2R 1/5

Approaching 2021, AG2R stepped away from the Bardet-centered approach, and invested in O'Connor and a stronger classics squad. 💸

Turns out one of those investments had great ROI. O'Connor delivered a better TDF GC result than Bardet's previous 3 years, 4th. 👏 Image
AG2R 2/5

AG2R's cobble classics squad did not deliver. Only a podium at RVV with GVA. 😬

Then again, it was common knowledge that GVA and Naesen were going to have a hard time competing with Deceuninck, WVA and VDP. 🤷‍♂️

Aprovechando que el #Giro sale hoy desde Siena y, viendo lo que os gustan Italia y la Toscana por aquí, hoy os quiero contar por qué Siena es una de las ciudades más interesantes del mundo y a qué espera toda esta gente, durante 4 horas, de pie, en pleno verano.
Acompañadme Image
Siena es una de esas ciudades que te maravilla según la pisas, pero, al ser pequeña, casi todos los turistas no pasan en ella más de un día; por mucho que te cuenten su historia y qué la hace especial, es imposible entender el significado de su magia si no vives en ella. ImageImage
Ni siquiera yo, que tuve la suerte de pasar allí 10 meses, puedo decir que viví como un sienés más, porque ellos viven todo el año esperando dos días, el 2 de julio y 16 de agosto, y en ellos, solo 1 min y medio les interesa; esto es lo que dura Il palio. Pero no nos adelantemos. ImageImage

#Giro - Vegni: "If everyone knew, why there were 30-40 riders on the start line while a group was in another part? Many riders came to me asking why the race had not started yet"
#Giro - Vegni said that for today is ok but what happened today damaged the image of the race and whatever effort has been done after Palermo.
#Giro - Salvato (CPA delegate) said that a vote has been done in the Telegram group the evening before and 16/18 team delegates were for shortening the stage.

Stiamo conducendo un sondaggio importante tra i corridori del #Giro all’Arena. Il tema è cosa ordineranno stasera a cena.

Per ora è sorprendentemente in testa la pizza ai frutti di mare (caldeggiata soprattutto da Maestri), seguita a ruota dal gelato al pistacchio (team Haller).
Pizza sempre in vantaggio, ma con nuove varianti. Al formaggio per Bidard; una qualsiasi per Izagirre. Scoprendoci italiani, @seppkuss ha chiesto a noi un consiglio, specificando soltanto che gli piace il cibo piccante: gli abbiamo suggerito una diavola, ha detto che la proverà.
C’è poi una quota di corridori favorevole alla bistecca: una bella fiorentina sia per Pozzovivo che per Vendrame. Patatine belghe invece per De Gendt e Serry: ma solo domani, quando saranno a casa.
