>Kruiswijk
stream pls
Can we post again or is it still only for suckers?
Sup Forums has been broke mate
tiz is back
Looks like it's bumping again.
this giro has been a borefest
Captcha broke. Couldn't post the thread.
the racing hasn't been great, but there has been a good amount of drama.
These 2 last stages are gonna be pretty interesting.
Spent 17min on the thread this morning but Sup Forums was broke.
Hello mates.
Wow, really? Last couple of days had me on the etch of my seat.
Nah last week has been great
>he doesn't have Sup Forums pass™
After 98.5km they climb Monte Grappa. There are many ways up and this isn’t the hardest but it’s still a big effort, 24.2km at 5.2% average but plenty of 7-8% sections along the way, especially during the first third. It’s a hard climb, the gradient changes a lot, an irregular road. There’s aa fast descent through shaded woodland, in two parts with a small flatter landing in between. Then comes 14km up the Brenta valley.
Forgot picture
Will Quintana attack?
PINOT
nice ty
The climb to Foza is the final climb of the Giro and a scenic one. It’s not steep but climbs via 20 hairpins at a regular gradient of 6-7%, a fast climb that rolls well. At the top it’s 14.8km to the finish across the plateau, down and then up, nothing for the climbs but awkward roads for anyone dropped on the climb who is tired and forced to chase.
>Can only watch the live page from the official site and this thread today since that's all my shitty droid can handle
Fucking fuck, hope Tom doesn't die on the upcoming climb.
The Finish: it’s downhill into Asiago, Italy’s jam and honey capital. There are three ninety-degree bends in town but on wide roads culminating in a right hander onto the final 250m with a slight uphill gradient to the line.
Going to get some snacks, brb senpaitachi.
this kills the dumoulin
power meter babbies can't into changing gradients
not in this week m8
yeah, the last two days have been interesting, but the rest was meh, tbf TY being JUST'd into oblivion and gaviria winning were pretty nice, but I expected more
It's not like they're riding fixed gear m8
I would easily beat all of you on a 10km/10%climb. Im built for the mountains, 1.83m 62kg
5% is basically flat for these guys.
>Power meter babbies
But user, Vroome isn't in this Giro.
Id put my money on Zakarin right now, his odds are good and he is looking strong. This stage is perfect for a Zak attack desu.
Hello mr skeltal
Did you spare any weight for muscle, senor skeleton?
191cm 84kg sprint me bro
If he can hang on for the first 8.5km he should be fine to the top. If there are huge splits
also, what advantage does Nairo need in this stage to feel safe tomorrow? is 1'30" enough?
Well I'm a fatass so it's not even a contest really.
My mom is watching a corny movie on the good tv, please Tell me when something good starts to happen
not enough!
Depends.
What are your Wattbabby numbers?
Just look for a stream and watch it on a pc.
Maybe, but probably not.
REVOLUTION
so he needs 2 mins or more in the last day for him... classic Nairo, master of the 4th week
I love this cooking revolution, lads.
Post your time up a 10 km/10% climb then
did someone say 2 minutes
Pinot will win the Giro
1.93m 61kg here.
I will fly past you with high cadence on my osometric chain rings.
No!! I like watching it on big screen HD
Maybe he is lurking at the side of the road
wtf i love tel aviv now
HOW MANY BINGS UNTIL THE TOP 5 START I HAVE TO RUN ERRANDS LADS DON'T WANT TO MISS
It's literally happening in 5 minutes.
26 bings
>mfw I watch cycling but don't actually cycle anywhere than to the corner store.
...
>tfw no Laura gf
>10km climb
If it's under 20Km it's not a climb
Not even the skeleton king is that skelly
You dont know what you're missing. Long rides are awesome.
Post cycling tunes
Cheeky.
Hey, I only have live reports. Right now I'd take streams easy, but this shitty droid can't handle them.
69kg here, gained 9kg since I started cycling. Cycling is bad for you.
>tfw you will never ride up hawaii and collapse halfway up from altitude sickness
This would be awesome to try at some point.
...
>get to 2k
>start feeling the decreased oxygen in air
>road kicks up like a fucking wall
Desu I want to feel that feeling senpai
finding good fitting clothing must be fun.
Are you cycling backwards? huehuehue
As if team Sky would disclose the weight of Froomey.
It's all about the marginal gains mate.
Rapha has streetwear made for skeletons.
>tfw probably going to climb this this summer
Ive ordered a 32 cassette and a new derailleur just for this. I bet itll still be grinding with the 34/32.
If repeating digits then Pinot does the Giro/Tour double
the higher i've been in a bike is 3.2Km, it's hell, even for a mountain nigger like me
>using pedals
>tfw biggest you ever climb was 500m at 12%
It was quite hard
froome is really perfecting his pic related
>200W@11%
>70kg ride+8kg bike
>7.7km/h
bit less than 60 rpm at 34/32
sounds like hell
Last digit decides this stage
0-3 Quintana attack
4-6 Nibali attack
7-9 Pinot attack
Doubles: Doesnt matter lol Dumoulin will take them 3 mins on the last day
That's why I'd like to try it m8. Nothing like some type 2 fun.
>tfw this is the biggest climb close to me.
Its just short enough to fully attack it though, its a nice hill.
>Spend a few months in Peru.
>Let's cycle across the Andes.
>Climb gets hard as fuck.
>Barely move forward.
>Garmin GPS shows 15,810 ft (4,819 m)
>I though I was dying.
>Me and my mate reach the top.
>See van riding up, locals pull out a few bikes and pose for pictures before packing up again.
FUCKING CASUALS.
Quintana attack should've been quads desu
good thing they are helping this war refugee
Yah, should have swapped with Dumo winning on the last day as is the most possible outcome
James Pink. What a stupid name.
Tell me about it. This was with a 34/28 on a steady gradient of 9%. Absolute suffering for a full hour.
>68 rpm average
>New Sky training regime takes place in Syria for added weight loss.
>(4,819 m)
That's the height of the Mont Blanc. You're brave my friend
youtu.be
a ton of poorfags from the Andes would be great climbers with proper training
War is Hell.

It was more foolishness then bravery.
That reminds me off Epo enriched Rabobank riders getting cucked by a local mail-man with 30+ kg of post.

I was dropped by a farmer here. He was carrying his 22kg kid on a 20kg bike. No one could keep his wheel.
