Giro d'Italia 2023 Giro d'Italia, Stage 1: Fossacesia Marina – Ortona 19.6 km ITT (Saturday, May 6th)

[search]

They're really bringing Gloag then, quite a surprise for me.
It will be one hell of a maiden GT for the kid.

they have to bring whoever's name is left on the final (initially two-men) substitute list now. No other choice anymore

It's Remco's Giro to lose. It's now fully legitimate for Roglic to ride like Pogacar in TdF 2020. It would be irresponsible not to. Let's hope Remco's head doesn't explode & cause any mass crashes.

Here comes the dark side

I gotta pretend these were taken yesterday, on May the 4th!
Gotta give it to the QS PR team.

Here comes the dark side

No point wearing a dark mask for anonymity, and then signing your autograph.

Addy Engels in the team car. Sepp Kuss the last domestique standing. Those Quick Step TT helmets.

Never underestimate "The Pussy from Amsterdam"!

This should be like penalties as long as it keeps going eventually you get to the A team.

Shouldn't Jonas be on a beach somewhere? Beaches have been known to be good Giro prep

His very non Spanish skin would burn.

Are we sure Vincenzo is not riding in this one? It's like voodoo on afterburners, and the race hasn't even started. What more could possibly go wrong for Jumbo? ...

 

[Lequack]

Gloag will probably trip while steeping out of the team car. I mean has any team ever been this unlucky at the start of a grand tour?

At this point, the fact Roglic can still start seems a win by itself.. that would be the real voodoo.

Unfortunately quite a bit more could go wrong, but let’s hope not!!

Well, I guess you could say Festina did . . . Since I think they found the stash in the car right before the race started!

Can I tell you a secret about the 2006 Tour?

"Unlucky", right.

 

[Netserk]

"Unlucky", right.

That Valverde could start the race and the entire Liberty Seguros team couldn't was not a matter of luck?

The secret weapon

 

[Netserk]

Is 91 his age?

Info about Jan Tratnik accident:

"On a wide straight road, a woman in a post car drove him off the road," says sports director Marc Reef. "He was able to turn away a bit, but not enough to avoid her."
"Jan went over the hood, hurting his knee. On the MRI it became clear that it is impossible for him to start."

Jumbo-Visma verliest ook Jan Tratnik voor Giro: "Een vrouwtje reed hem aan" | sporza

Jumbo-Visma heeft zijn ploeg voor de Ronde van Italië nóg eens moeten aanpassen. Na coronagevallen voor Van Emden, Foss en Gesink en een blessure voor Kelderman, deelt nu Jan Tratnik in de klappen. Letterlijk, want de Sloveen werd aangereden tijdens een laatste training.

If one just reads this forum, it would seem that Roglic only starts with 3 riders in his team


Lets hope Gloag doesn't bring in the covid from the Romandie team..

The secret weapon

ITT-stat is a bit unfair... because when he actually rode for GC, he was pretty capable. Not one of the best among the GC-guys, but he wasnt one of the worst either.
