Giro d'Italia 2021 Giro d'Italia, Stage 21: Senago – Milano 30.3 km ITT

[Bonimenier]

What is going on in this TT?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Vintage Italian traffic

 

[johnymax]

Sobrero lost 2 places because of the cars!
What a strong ITT from him.

 

[BlueRoads]

whaaaat? are the times wrong or would he have podiumed this if not for the cars??

 

[Riek s]

That's the one where they have to do a bunch of other sports, right?

yep, they are looking at sports that do not suite Remco to avoid him switching sports.

 

[Laplaz]

Pathetic stuff going on. Sobrero robbed.

 

[BlueRoads]

Okay, can we please repeat this stage in a week?

 

[staubsauger]

Did the DSM car try to park there? Caused a very dangerous situation between Sobrero and the FDJ car!

 

[ppanther92]

Really though - whats going on? Sobrero blocked by a team car, otherwise 2nd...

 

[Carols]

Sobrero poor guy, he was going to be on the podium at minimum!

 

[Bonimenier]

All stars align for Almeida to take his first pro victory.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Crazy TT. And Almeida still to come...

 

[Mayomaniac]

Sobrero also with bad luck.
Off topic fact about him: He's dating Ganna's sister.

 

[BlueRoads]

This is a pre-staged stage, written in advance by movistar script-writers, right?

 

[ppanther92]

Sobrero also with bad luck.
Off topic fact about him: He's dating Ganna's sister.

What relation does Cavagna have to Ganna's sister? Maybe we found the common factor...

 

[Mayomaniac]

Cavagna's father is Italian, so maybe being a good TTer with an Italian father is the common factor.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Well, it is what it is...

 

[mountainroad]

That's the one where they have to do a bunch of other sports, right?

Trust falls and rope courses. I think they do that one where you spin around over a baseball bat until you're dizzy and race to a finish line that is a slip-n-slide covered with shaving cream.

Ganna's sister was standing in that corner flashing Remi, thats why he crashed

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Sobrero still had the fastest final split after being only 5th at Check 2

 

[Mayomaniac]

If Sobrero did such a good TT Bettiol could also surprise some people.

All 3 together

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

That final stretch of the parcour is cursed. Ganna having a flat, Cavagna crashing, Sobrero finding himself stuck in traffic... can Bernal lose two minutes there?

 

[saganftw]

just a side thought, where does italy make all these TTers? ganna,affini, sobrero, milan, tiberi

 

[KZD]

Cassani, who was following Ganna on the moto, said the bike change cost Ganna about 12 seconds. I think it was a bit more, but not more than 18s.

The change itself was certainly around that but don't forget that he was going at around 55kph and had to stop and acelerate back from that speed and that takes a lot of time so without the flat I think that he would have been 25-30 seconds faster than what he was.
Cavagna for example, lost less time because he crashed in a corner where he would have been going at a much slower speed
