Giro d’Italia Giro di Lombardia Grande Boucle Grupetto
|
The grupetto is a group of riders that comes together at the final climb of a stage at the latest. In the grupetto, or omnibus, mostly sprinters and their helpers meet, and riders that have fallen back. Within the grupetto, one of the most experienced riders determines the speed. These riders have an appropriate feeling for speed, in order to arrive in the finish within the specified time limit. There is a special unity within the grupetto – the riders help each other team spanningly with food and drink. Arriving in the finish in time stands in the foreground.
