2020 Giro d'Italia, Stage 1: Monreale – Palermo 15 km ITT

[fuiers]

O, ou. It's Zakarin.

 

[SafeBet]

Pray for Zakarin.

Zabel versus Sagan for a mountains jersey.

Sounds odd...

 

[Red Rick]

Covili almost certainly gonna miss the time cut

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I think Thomas will want to take a meaningful chunk of time and if he doesn’t it’s not a great sign for him

As a counterpoint, Thomas has a long history of bad crashes, and never accumulated the palmarès in the classics he could have done - in fact it's a large part of why he went the direction he did as a rider - so with the wind being as it is, he might go all out to gain time, but he might just be happy getting into the city upright, and then taking what he can on the flat.

Just Giro things.

 

[Wvv]

This wind tho ... Almost threw Dennis off his bike on flat roads.

 

[spalco]

Dennis is riding zig zag basically.

 

[F_Cance]

This stage is a joke.

 

[spalco]

If it's still in any way possible, if I was a rider still to start, I would remove the disc wheel and use a normal one.

As the wind continues to get worse, I tend to agree. Dennis is riding like it’s very bad out there at the moment

Huh?

He was blown away by the wind in Gent Wevelgem, wasn't he?

Meanwhile everyone watching the early starters continues to go to the start with discs and fat deep section fronts.

 

[LaFlorecita]

If it's still in any way possible, if I was a rider still to start, I would remove the disc wheel and use a normal one.

And if it's possible to ride in aero tuck with a regular wheel that could even be faster. Of course not sure if that is the case, looks sketchy either way.

Shades of Marcel Wüst!

 

[WKA311]

Already loving this Giro.

 

[SafeBet]

15'55" for Tobias Foss, very good time.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Covili almost certainly gonna miss the time cut

+6'52"

 

[TomLPC]

Get rid of the disks lads, wind from the side is *** them

 

[fuiers]

Hänninen!!!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Foss rode at the same time as Dennis and only lost 9 seconds to Almeida. Dennis just bad.

Impressive time by Foss, the only well-performing youngster Logic never got excited about

 

[Volderke]

Disc is not a big issue with gusts of wind.
Deep rim on the front is the issue.
