- Stage 17 of the Giro is uphill from the off, giving a great chance for a strong breakaway to form before the field eventually take on the back-to-back ascents of Passo del Vetriolo and Monterovere at the end of the day.

That shot of Cavendish staring into the middle distance before a bad weather mountain stage like "Im getting to old for this shit" 😂
I was thinking the same!
Cav is the GOAT with 150+ wins. He’s just doing his thing.
And then he'll turn up at a six day this winter.
@@charliedillon1400 No bad weather indoors!
To see MVDP deep into a grand tour, AND throwing digs in on the hills is impressive. Not from a MVDP fan club standpoint, but from a "that's impressive" standpoint. When push comes to shove, those pure climbers will just say okay dude enough and drop him, but nonetheless, solid efforts.
The thing is MvdP has never completed a full GT and especially not a parkour like these high mountain stages after 2 weeks on non-stop racing so its a huge learning experience for him and the team as Alpecin become a WT team next year and have to compete in all three big GT's.
@@whiterabbit9938 Huh?
@@epincion which makes it even more impressive for his efforts indeed
MVDP looked like a refrigerator climbing that mountain! Awesome race!
love that guy.... almost looks like the alien with that smooth dome helmet and the bared teeth
Pure class!
Amazing cyclist to watch
Hindley looks so strong
Could be his year. That sprint to the line for time bonus really helps. Woulda been 11 seconds had he lost - instead it’s just 3.
this years race has been amazing to watch- Thanks for the coverage
You're mad. This race has been awful.
Congratulations to Buitrago on his first ever win in Europe. Colombia is very abundant in talent right now. Well done Papi.
The MVDP save on that downhill corner was really impressive. He lost grip, slid out, then did a high-g turn right at the guardrail. Balls. Skill. Easily could have vaulted right over the guardrail.
Yow! My heart skipped a beat when MVDP almost went into that barrier on the downhill curve! 😲
He did an incredible job just to stay upright!
MvDP looked like superman on that attack with his top flapping in the wind behind him 💪
he should have probably take it off to save some watts haha
The race and coverage today were great. They were killing me with the tennis match names and Sir Wiggo’s Buitrago pronunciation. 😂
MVP makes it that far in a big mountain stage??? UNBELIEVEABLE.
Doing his best WvA impression 😉
MvdP determined to break the laws of physics.
And it didn’t happen.
@@frankburn6312 That wont stop him from trying again though
@@Tibovl and it still won’t happen. Not from that far away anyway.
@@frankburn6312 Of course not. But I love it.
standard Giro stage, haha, all happening out there...crash, heroics, young talents making a mark, GC favourites battling out on some fearsome climbs, thank God the weather was not as brutal as it can be...I'm happy for some German colour in the top 10
Standard? Not this year!
Poor Cavendish 😂
Hahaha was thinking the same 😂
What happened to him?
@@MassiveLib just look at 0:44
@@jBurn_ Doesn't like the rain!!
@@MassiveLib A Manx man who doesn't like the rain is destined for a life of misery.
Thanks for the content
Very impressed by Buitrago!
He's been so strong since the start of the race, both in service of Landa and on his own in the breakaway
Congratulations 🔥👍🥇
How did MvdP get that bike stopped...? In my mind he was over the guardrail...
disc brakes and mtb/cross skills...
think he got to break a bit harder because he stopped turning and went straight, then turned the bike when he slowed down enough. still a close call
Because he's one of the best bike handlers in the world...
He's one of the best bike handlers in the world, that was an incredible save!
Wout Poels was mildly fantastic today as a domestique
He was flying up that final climb
Winning after crashing. Riding on adrenaline for that long, what a beast!
Yes 👏👏
Trust VDP to create an interesting stage as the Giro desperately needed
Jan Hirt in the top 10 with the big boys 👍
Up to 7th now! (probably 6th by the end of the day as a result of Almeida's unfortunate DNS)
If João Almeida reduces the gap to less than one minute, maybe he can beat Jai and Richard in the Time Trial
The main issue is the IF!
Either way, Almeida has been doing a stellar Giro so far. He's getting isolated way too early .....
he lost 1min today and will likely lose more minutes in stage 20 which is looking pretty brutal..
@@davebishop6020 🙁
I dont think this TT is long enough to gain such times.
Even Joao admitted in an interview that is a sort of trial to gain about 30 seconds.
Im hoping on stage 20 he finds legs and lungs to pull something out of the bag and at least reduce is gap to something achievable in the TT
@@ruigouveia7494 he should attack on stage 20
I am going to predict Jay Hindley as the winner of this years Giro, altough Carapaz looks very solid. TT will decide with the small margin between them.
Hindley will be hoping for a different story to 2020 coming out of that final TT
@@gcnracing I seem to remember he can time trial altough not sure. This is the first time I am really paying attention to Jay Hindley and I like what I see. Carapaz is mediocre at best at TT, altough the short distance might work in his favour to keep any time loss very limited.
Hope Landa finally makes the podium!
Yes plssss
I cant get it, he is from sky, he is so cold blood. But too metrosexual to sweat and therefore not puting 100%
João Almeida 🇵🇹 is amazing warrior!! All stage Alone!! Where is UAE team?? Hope he finish on 3 position
shame Landa lost few seconds, his the bravest out of the 3, I will root for him from now on
CONGRATULATIONS MARK CAVENDISH!!
Watch out for Pozzovivo for a stage victory. I think Maglia rosa will let go away from the peleton. Also expecting landa and Nibali to try some dangerous attacks 🔥🔥
I watch the whole race, but cannot miss the highlight tho🤭🤘🏽
May be worth going back and watching the whole race replay again on GCN+ too 😂
Great coverage - Sanchez had his day , but Stage 18 will see some sprinters on the flatter course - who's gonna be on the podium ???
How can people say tour is better than giro, it's a mistery !
Because it is.
Podium battle all about 1 - 2 minutes down vs Pog ahead by 5 minutes. I'd take this any day of the week.
@@Fyr35555 when pogacar best Roglic at the last tt, that wasn’t 5 minutes. That was seconds.
@@frankburn6312 and it was thrilling! I still watch it now.
True, but except that, the last 10 tour were decided well before the last stage. Giro is always a fight till the end, i still remember dumoulin geogan hart carapaz victories !
Great stuff. Correction: Rob Hatch perhaps confuses the GPM banner @ 8 km to go and the uncategorized peak @ 5 km to go, calling each "over the top", as the final 8 km are sort of a rolling plateau, climbing first to that 5 km to go point, then the final km is also uphill. He's technically correct but it's confusing.
I want some Bahrain juice
MVDP quick recovery on the descent was not just his excellent bike handling but with the help of hydraulic disc brakes and better modulation than cable brakes.
I believe too much braking is what caused it. Then his bike handling skills helped him recover.
Splendid breakaway and stage victory fot the Columbian Santiago Buitrago Sanchez (BTV), the Equatorian champion Santiago Carapaz(IOD) keeping on the pink jersey, just 3 hundreathes before the Australian Jai Hinley (BOH)! 💙💟💖🏵🌷🌼🌻🌹🌸💮🌺☮☯🏳🌈!
I thought Almeida would be able to turn things around. 🙁
looks like its down to the time trial, Just who will have the legs on that day?
The Last Week of the Giro never disappoints!
Vamos Carapaz 💥💥💥💥 🇪🇨 la locomotora de Carchi ♥️
All this crazy weather is perfectly nomal. Wake up people.
"Stage Hunters"
what happen to mvdp
MVDP looked like a noob with the jacket flapping. Jokes on us real noobs though.
Jay looked slightly stronger than Richard today who looked to be in pain. Looks like as if the TT will decide the Giro though, yet again...
I can only imagine their tension that day !!
We can't wait, unless someone wants to shake things up on the San Pellegrino/Pordoi/Fedaia stage 👀
few pictures of the peloton why? .very bad television performance
Sadly we do not choose what images are broadcasted, luckily we got a better look at the GC men on Monterovere than we did on Vetriolo
The most suggestive Giro d'Italia champion was Gino Bartali, after WW2 ltaly was the most devastated land, in top of ruins, Bartali started to ride the bicycle giving poor losers italians the reason to put behind the war hostilities and start to live again. These young Giro d'Italia winners now become the same Renaissance spirit we need the most, in Ecuador as well Colombia or Eritrea, ask them investors of Bahrain how do they feel about this victory? Yeah, there are satisfactions that worth all the money in the world and if it's so difficult bringing cycling partnerships in other nations, let's become like family and bring this wonder on earth every single nation of the world, starting with United States that do not believe much in cycling. We bring all riders in Sri Lanka next, you will see finally how political disputes vanish and they try to do the proper things.. because cycling is this world wide popular and ... viral. If we have good recipes of know how to make things work friends, let's use them
MvdP is not here to put socks on centipedes...
One of the best phrases we've learned this Giro 😂
no computer there !!!landa pulling crapaz ,lost a few seconds , hope he learn the lesson
Landa and Bahrain Victorious had no choice but to let Carapaz and Hiney get a free ride along. He needed to put a hurt gap on Almeida so he has enough time buffer before the final ITT. That way Landa is on the podium (he took JA's third place in standings). So with help from super climbing domestique Poels, they went out hard. Carapaz and Hindley were greatly beneficial from the tactic, but that is cycling. Best for Jai as that means his Bora climbing domestiques have a rest day, staying fresh for a big effort on Saturday. It makes a HUGE difference (financially) to these world teams to get on the podium of a grand tour. 4th place may as well be 14th.
Sure would be nice to see Almeida just once have a strong team for himself.
The guy is always alone while ineos have such good numbers even Bahrain i mean what the heck is going on.
The guy is in a major team too and before UAE his team was the best team or a very strong team and he was isolated left to fight off everyone.
There was a UAE rider innthe break wtf why cant they back Almeida?? .
Really is piss poor please cant someone help him out??
Its so frikkin obvious.
Also fall tactics or attempts to evsr take back time.
He can easily be a serious contender for an all out win...
He'll be a great super domestique for Pogacar and possibly Ayuso
@@qwerty-rh6ht judging by their races together earlier in the year ayuso and almeido will never help each other out ever lol
the face of cavendish was not looking good
Mathiew vandarpol is not a GC contender material
Who knows bro, imagine tho, it would be mad
he is too heavy. GC conteders are almost always light
@@rajb3664 Who knows bro? How many times does he have to lose 8 minutes on a 30 minute climb to know, bro?
@@andrew7taylor we all know that he's too heavy currently, but I assume you understand that he loses those minutes intentionally once he knows that he cannot win the stage.
I think he is
GCN cycling as you've never seen it before...... in the UK. They forgot that last part. The Brits are here to teach us all about cycling.... PHA!!!! People automatically think they are on to something when they get a good amount of traffic, and it's a very easy mistake to make. But it's not the quality of content that brings the traffic, the single reason why it generates traffic, is that it's in the English language. Period. And not just traffic from English speaking regions, but traffic from all over the world. So the content creators may actually take that as a sign that they are on to something and that they are doing a great job, when in fact they are the new and noobish kid on the block, and still have a mountain to climb before they are even close to being great. Pretty poor coverage compared to the rich cycling culture on the main continent. Cycling as you've never seen it before...... they would be embarrassed if they would know how far off that statement is.
Get help
This is not constructive criticism. Instead of being holier than thou, it would be better to provide examples of where you think they could improve.
this is where you are advised to touch some grass
What's your problem dude? You need some wine to wash those nettles down with? My mother always advised me to say nothing unless I've got something sensible to say. Shame that your parents didn't impart the same advice.
Rob Hatch.....The worst cycling commentator ever..
