why is it never mentioned how many vertical metres they do during their bike race, only the length?

[@jasonjohnson9072]

It sounds like technical jargon to casuals. If we care we can find out easily on the website or any of the multitude of other media forms that go into more detail. Try Lantern Rouge podcast.

Breakaway made the race very entertaining. It’s also good to see Alaphilippe riding in front; he was so close to winning the stage.

[@edymarkonthego4096]

100km+ Alaphilippe breakaway and got 2nd is not a disappointment. Hope he find his form again. Otherwise his boss is going to kick him out.

[@kennykaniff]

I said this in a previous comment . . . Hopefully Leferve will get off his high horse and shut his mouth about Alaphellipe now!! 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Interesting stage and great to see Plapp challenge 🇦🇺 .

[@kennykaniff]

He deserved that stage win! I actually expected Alaphellipe to win it tho but Sanchez bamboozled them both and did very little work in the break. I'm not a fan of that type of riding but it does work. Do minimal work and save energy for the final km in order to take the stage. It doesn't make you very popular within the peleton tho😂 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@newpistolpete]

well done AlaJuju! nice to see him back in form!

[@kennykaniff]

It was great to see! Maybe Leferve will get off his high horse and stop talking sh1t about Alaphillepe now!! 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@pedroalvarez2119]

Great race by Pela! Congrats to him

[@kennykaniff]

He's not going to get much help from anyone in the peleton from now on tho. Not with those tactics 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@kennykaniff]

Its pretty clear that Pogi is almost out there competing by himself. Hes not getting much assistance from his team. Yes they are helping but when the pace picks up and the climbing starts they are just dropping off. During the last sector of gravel he didnt have any teammates with him (eventually he had 1 teammate on the last gravel sector) but he was using INEOS to keep with the leading pack. The past few days UAE was 14th in team classification but apparently today they climbed up to 10th but its just a sign that his team isn't very strong 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@rogotad]

I love that the commentator can actually pronounce the names of the cities and regions with a very good Italian pronounciation! Finally

[@michaelheyes1023]

weather's good this year, so far, at the Giro.

[@kennykaniff]

Do t count your chickens before they hatch mate! More than 2 weeks to go!! We'll definitely see some weather this next 10 days 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@Onlyriding320]

진짜 조온나 잘타네😮😮😮

[@peterfranzjr.1190]

This is great commenting (and no spoilers!!) 👏👏👏

[@kennykaniff]

INEOS is doing a lot better job than most expected. Personally I expected a great performance from them and they are doing great. They've been 1st in team classification since the beginning except they did drop to 3rd for a day but again today they are back in 1st so they've got a good strong team and its showing. G is doing well. Jut because you see him losing ground during some of these attacks, thats normal for him. He will gradually pull himself back at a nice steady pace. He doesnt react well to sudden attacks. He doesnt have that kind of speed to cover sudden attacks 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@East_Bay_Funk]

i love cycling

[@OfficialTomsSkujinsFanClub]

can someone explain to me what the intergiro point is for? outside of bonus seconds, is it a separate competition?

[@kennykaniff]

I'm just now learning about it because it's not been a part of the Giro for years and they have just brought it back but yes it is a different competition entirely. The time is taken at different intervals during each stage and the person who gets the shortest time by reaching those intervals in each stage is the winner of the InterGiro. That's the way I understand it anyway 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@kennykaniff]

I feel bad for Plappy tho. He was doing all that work and deserved that stage win but he was with Alaphellipe who I actually expected to win the stage but Sanchez did as little work as possible and bamboozled Alaphillepe and Plappy to take the stage. Personally I'm not a fan of that style of riding (I'm just old school I guess) but riders do it cos its effective. Conserve what energy you can for that final km. I would have loved to have seen Plappy get the stage win tho. I'd even be happy to see Alaphellipe win just to show Leferve that hes still a great rider and maybe Leferve will get off his high horse and leave him alone now!!! 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@markdowse3572]

No Team wanting to allow a breakaway. Very close racing! 😁👍 Gorgeous countryside. 🥰 Sprinters missing out again... M 🦘🏏😎

Rob Hatch the best in the business.

As someone pointed out before - he's like the Policeman from Allo Allo. No better way to put it.

[@skoromoh_]

Lou lou is going to win in Giro d Italia'. I hope to win stage by Loulou🎉🎉 . 9524

[@kennykaniff]

I think English is your secondary language (I'm not being rude) so it's a bit hard to really understand what you're saying. Alaphellipe won't win the Giro but I do believe he will win a stage which will be really nice to see!!! 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@rikkshow]

@@alpsalish how do you know it isn't similar? During hard riding you use up to x20 times more air, and you pull stuff deep into the alveolus. I can hook you up with the MD/PhD of Medicine/Ass Professor I discussed this with, who pioneered this research...?

[@alpsalish]

@@rikkshow So what!? Why don't you share that with cycling governing bodies Mr. KZbin scientist? Also, we don't need your stupid research. We have plenty of historical data for health outcomes related to career and environment. Next you'll worry about football players and fans health when lighting flares and compare that to open oil field workers in Nigeria. Go away snoozer.

Did the music need to go this hard?

[@jamiepaolinetti5087]

I would have bet my house Alaphilippe wins out of that group on that finish. WTF? Off day?

[@michaelcrawford5638]

Unsurprisingly, the guy who did the least amount of work in the break won the sprint.

[@AndrewDHDavidson]

Nah, they were all doing pretty even pulls in that break. The signs were there that he was the strongest of the trio... Alaphilippe had words with him at one point because he was surging too hard on the hills (had good legs), and after his error in the round-about that gifted Plapp a free gap to ride away, he closed the gap back to him, which Alaphilippe was failing to do himself. Definitely had the best legs of the bunch.

[@kennykaniff]

I expected to see Lou Lou win that stage but after I saw Sanchez playing that game pretending he couldn't pull them I knew he was playing a game and saving his energy for the final km. I'm not a fan of that type of rider. It won't help him in the future when he's in a similar situation. Riders remember this stuff and will refuse to work with him!! 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
