VIDEO: Thrilling final kilometre of the 2023 Critérium du Dauphiné as Giulio Ciccone holds on to take stage win

Giulio Ciccone has taken a brilliant win on stage 8 of the 2023 Critérium du Dauphiné, holding off a late charge from overall race winner Jonas Vingegaard on some of the steepest gradients you are ever likely to see.
Heading into the final climb of the day with around a 50-second lead of the group of GC favourites, Ciccone knew he required a big effort to hold on to the stage win. When Jonas Vingegaard attacked, that gap began to fall but the Italian managed to save enough energy for one final push to the line, securing himself a memorable victory with Vingegaard having to settle for second on the day, although the Dane does take the overall race win.

- Oh, so now you know Pog better than he knows himself? Saying that when at the same time you can see an article quoting Pog saying “sometimes I don’t know why I attack” and not ever analysing emotions as men tend to is really rather naive and reductive. Hardly worth wasting our planet’s energy and ressources for. How about elevating the discussion to think over things a bit deeper?Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- They couldn’t convict him criminally because he paid up to escape it (that weird American possibility that ensures not all are equal before the law). He was convicted civilly but technically for committing crime. I on the other hand live in a country where unexplained damage to a baby in your care in theory leads to minimum 5 years of prison, if you admit an accident it’s more lenient but telling the truth that you don’t know how a bump on the skull happened exposes you to the as much risk as some who murder and rape. The developed world doesn’t deserve that designationMistermaumau20-11-2024
- Doesn’t deserve criticism considering all he won with all the crashes plus how close he got to a TdF (Pog had luck). If Pog and Jonas battle and wipe each other out we have Remco and Primoz to put on a show.Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- Agreed. Until he can stay upright on his bike, he’s at best an incomplete for a grade. That doesn’t mean that on his best form he can’t win it all. We just haven’t seen it.mij20-11-2024
