Giro d'Italia 2021 Giro d'Italia, Stage 2: Stupinigi - Novara 179km

[HelloDolly]

Its Sunday and today was not the day to include a flat boring stage

Why not do a rolling puncher stage today and leave the sprint till tomorrow

Giro losing audiences early

 

[Bonimenier]

They were sprinting for the 40 km marker instead of the actual sprintline.

 

[Poursuivant]

These stages should never be on a weekend.

Some fun for the audience.

 

[Red Rick]

under a minute for the break and it still looks like a procession

And some say ITTs are boring... Nothing worse than a flat stage with no wind and a weak breakaway.

 

[Bonimenier]

The peloton has a really hard time not catching the breakaway.

At least it gave us the Rob Hatch thread.

Why are you watching at this point? It will be a few minutes of great entertainment.

Gruppo Comptattooooooooooo

 

[Bonimenier]

Ganna 3s, Evenepoel 2s

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Whatcha doing Remco?

 

[topcat]

Leadership crisis at DQS?

 

[spalco]

Ganna 3s, Evenepoel 2s

Haha, so he's actually become a sprinter now, Logic was right. Evenepoel 1:0 Ewans.

 

[houtdffan]

massive GC 101 fail by everyone not named Evenepoel.

Don't need to be giving him free time

 

[Bonimenier]

After yesterday Almeida was the clear and lone leader of DQS, but now that they are tied in GC Remco became co-leader again,

 

[Panda Claws]

Lmao Evenepoel is always box office.

Leadership crisis at DQS?

Leading to a great schism at the season's end.
Lefevre sensing it already.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Ok head says Ewan, heart says Merlier, so I’ll stick with Caleb. I’m mostly hoping for a chaotic sprint though

According the Brian Holm, Keisse has been complaining about GC teams mixing it up with the sprint teams for "the last 20 years!".
I don't think it was quite that long... at least I don't think he turned pro when he was 18.

Surely we were supposed to interpret that literally.

If there are time bonuses involved, the GC teams should be contesting the sprints

Yeah I got pretty hyped but this is only standard if you get sprints that give just bonification seconds. Bernal should have been in Ganna's wheel though imo.

 

[BlueRoads]

Now that Evenepoel contested the intermediate, will Almeida do the finish sprint?
