Giro d'Italia 2022 Giro d'Italia, Stage 2: Budapest – Budapest 9.2 km ITT (Saturday, May 7th)

[Red Rick]

Can 11 minutes be beaten?

That's over 50 per hour. Lot of turns. Almost a 1% net elevation gain too. I'm not sure they'll even break 48 per hour.

 

[King Of The Wolds]

Repeated accelerations out of the 20 some odd turns? Hmm if only there was a rider with supreme acceleration here...

Cav, I assume.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Against this kind of field Sobrero should have a decent chance, if we look at his prologue result in Romandie.

Shorty and punchy is the only way I like my TT's

Thanks, now I'm going to have Thick and Creamy stuck in my brain for the rest of the day

 

[DaLong]

Van der Poel's lack of positioning going to cost him here, starting from the very back even, noob.

How much time do you think some of GC guys will lose to Dumoulin tomorrow?

 

[gunara]

How much time do you think some of GC guys will lose to Dumoulin tomorrow?

And can any of the +10" or better guys better MvdP enough and hold Dumoulin? Kelderman?

EDIT:
Lol, what was I thinking, for a moment I thought Tom was farther behind.

Anyway, it's a nice sequence of opening stages.

 

[Salvarani]

How much time do you think some of GC guys will lose to Dumoulin tomorrow?

40-50 seconds.

Some might lose less/more.

 

[BigCoward]

How much time do you think some of GC guys will lose to Dumoulin tomorrow?

I hope Lopez and landa lose loads, if TD is lean and mean they will have to really try and batter him in the mountains knowing he probably takes another minute in the final TT, which should make for an excellent race.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Dumoulin's quest for his Giro victory #2 starts here. Go Tom!

Plus, I heard it might be raining.

Early in the day or later in the day?

Simon Yates might suprise a few here tomorrow btw.

Simon Yates might suprise a few here tomorrow btw.

he was 5th in the last time trial he did, with better competition. Do you really expect even better, or more like a bad kind of surprise?

No, I'm merely pointing out I'm expecting him to do very well on this sort of course and he is barely mentioned

[hayneplane]

Castroviejo, Van Emden and Affini should be the only early starters able to do a top-10?

Tratnik if not badly hurt by the late crash

 

[KZD]

I don't know who will win but I am fairly sure it will be a Jumbo rider. Van der Poel to keep the pink jersey.

 

[gregrowlerson]

I would have put my house that I haven't paid for on Lutsenko if he was riding on this course.

 

[Andre]

Castroviejo will take the TT tomorrow

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Castroviejo will take the TT tomorrow

if that happens I'll literally eat my keyboard

 

[Bonimenier]

Arensman taking this stage easily

 

[Tonton]

I don't know what version of Dumoulin will show up. Vintage '17 he wins the bike race, takes 40s to a minute on all GC contenders. That ship has sailed, it seems...I hope I'm wrong. Simon can do a thing, I have seen him so good in the not-so-distant past, top-form Simon wins the whole thing. What will Carapaz do seems to be the plot: he does well and solidifies himself as THE MAN, he chucks and the piranhas close in.
