Giro d'Italia 2021 Giro d'Italia, Stage 1: Torino - Torino 8.6 km ITT

[Bonimenier]

When are they going to ditch that red zone bar thingy? It looks ridiculous in a TT this short that riders only ride 60% in the red zone.

 

[SafeBet]

He always seems to ride greatflat TTs for his size, he has to be super aero (despite his knees).

And his shoulder.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

As a great and not too greedy champion, he allows some secondary riders like Ganna to have a stage and the maglia.

So he isn't actually the next Merckx? Time to rename his thread!

 

[JosefK]

Ganna, not bad for someone supposedly out of form for losing his last ITT

I thought his career was over?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Remco with a tactical TT pacing it in a controlled way.
Not willing to take the maglia rosa too early.
As a great and not too greedy champion, he allows some secondary riders like Ganna to have a stage and the maglia.

So he's the new Laporte?

 

[Froome]

Remco in pink on Tuesday evening.

Joao almeida in pink on tuesday.

 

[Bonimenier]

Joao almeida in pink on tuesday.

Jos Van Emden in pink on Tuesday

 

[JRanton]

1 min 50 seconds last 2km from Ganna.

Absolutely insane. I was certain there must’ve a timing error but apparently not...

 

[titan31]

Joao almeida in pink on tuesday.

Probably far more likely. He could likely keep it until Zoncolan too.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Logic is going to have a busy evening now, trying to convince us how Ganna is not on another planet than the rest, TT wise.

Because he beat Affini and Foss you mean? Yes, let me get right on it!

 

[Mayomaniac]

Vlasov rode a great TT, he has to be in great shape.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Traffic officers don't make mistakes.
Here's the ticket.
Have a nice day.

[Bonimenier]

Walscheid and Brändle both will get their transfer to Ineos, JV or DQS this offseason.

 

[JosefK]

So . . . Remco ahead of Froome in the comeback from massive injury.

 

[saganftw]

Because he beat Affini and Foss you mean? Yes, let me get right on it!

no, because he beat cavagna by 18s

commentary: "Vlasov the best of the GC contenders"

I'm becoming a hardcore Almeida fan just because people don't take him seriously.

 

[BlueRoads]

Congratulations Filippo! I want to give you some flowers, but cn doesn't allow this, so:

Almeida has the ability to suffer more than many expect. He does not know the meaning of "quit."

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Where's Masnada?

I don't know. Likely in the team bus

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Where's Masnada?

He's just a spoiler candidate like his predecessor Ralph Masnader.
