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

Have you seen Arensman? And if you have, he was pedalling well?
I honestly have him as my favourite for the stage.

I think I saw him but he wasn't going all out. Too explosive of an effort for him imho.

First TT in competition with Astana + mysterious shape = The bag or not the bag

To hell and bag again.

Recons are usually not done all out? I also don't think there is a connection between not going all out and not finding a stage cut to size. He's here for a GC after all. At least i assume they want to keep him as an option for the time being.

Brian Holm thinks Castroviejo will win because he won an ITT in Romandie 11 years ago

No speed records will fall today

The downhill TT was in 2020 Giro? That one was ridiculous

 

[RedheadDane]

No speed records will fall today

Au contraire!
The speed record for Giro ITTs in Budapest will definitely fall!
Already has, several times.

They only got the Giro start to stop people from getting that Strava record and getting hit by traffic

I’m really enjoying this course.

I agree, a nice course.

I did have Dowsett on at 100/1 on the off chance that it rains later, some of these early tters have lost a bit of time on purpose so I think that was the idea they were going to as well, even a slight drizzle will make those cobbles a nightmare.

 

[Red Rick]

Eenkhoorn tested the climb after a chill first part?

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Wonder what a super motivated Biniam can do?

 

[Red Rick]

Cavendish with a surprisingly respectable time

Funny fun in the town of Buda, they say...

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Nervous times begin for DT and his keyboard...

 

[Mayomaniac]

Anypne but that *** Van Emden please.

 

[Red Rick]

Anypne but that *** Van Emden please.

Affini is that you?

 

[Eclipse]

Anypne but that *** Van Emden please.

No worries the next jumbot is here

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Great timing for oplaying the VT of Wiggins...

 

[KZD]

Just as I expected Jumbots are flying.

Affini's time is going to be hard to beat

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

@Dekker_Tifosi Keyboard survives until the next rash bet.

 

[HelloDolly]

Interesting to see Yates today ...will be a good indicator of his form

I think Carthy will go well

Van Emden doesn't even stand a chance without that final climb.
