Giro d'Italia 2023 Giro d'Italia, Stage 2: Teramo – San Salvo 201 km (Sunday, May 7th)

On the Giro site: " 12:28:35 We would like to inform you that, due to a typing error on the dorsal dorsal, yesterday's Maglia Azzurra was wrongly assigned to Brandon Mc Nulty (UAE Team Emirates). Following a second check, the Maglia Azzurra was therefore assigned to Tao Geoghegan Hart (Ineos Grenadiers), who has set the best time"

I agree it's a pretty basic stuff. So usually amateurs are explaining it. I have to say. Pros would never bother with it. But while we are at it. As it was suggested. In my opinion JV isn't really interested in it. Rogla would only do it if he had to. So the idea on how JV is thinking about it in the first place. I find that rather far fetched.

I don't know what you write.

 

[Bonimenier]

So Almeida is wearing his beautiful Portuguese champ jersey and the white jersey is worn by 3rd in the classification McNulty.

 

[CyclistAbi]

I don't know what you write.

I just wrote that you and me are amateurs. Otherwise we wouldn't be bothering with it in the first place. Hope this explains it.

P.S. And nothing wrong with that. I must add.

 

[Bonimenier]

I don't know what you write.

It is impressive how little he can say with so many words.

So if Remco loses pink can he wear the rainbow jersey instead of the white jersey? Or does this only apply to Almeida because he is not the actual youth classification leader?

 

[Bonimenier]

It only applies if you're not the rightful owner, so it has to be a young rider taking over pink for Evenepoel to ride in the rainbows.

No, he cannot choose the rainbow. You're right in the question about Almeida.

Verre: "Wait for me!"

 

[tobydawq]

Not a lot of love for Verre in the front quartet. He would probably beat them im the KOM sprints so it makes sense they don't want him in the group.

Fortunately for Verre, they hit an uncategorised climb now so if he's actually the better climber he will bridge shortly.

 

[Salvarani]

Easy Sunday ride in the peloton.

Maybe, with some luck, a team with a sprinter who can climb a little tries to drop some other sprinters on the uncategorized climb to Chieti.

Can we amateurs please just have a separate thread. As it's hard to cope with so little words and so much colors. A pink rainbow. With or without a mustache?

You pros.

Literally every other sprint opportunity in the first two weeks features better terrain to drop the sprinters who can't climb, would make sense if the teams keep their powder dry for now.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Trek seem interested in making it hard today, not too fun for the sprinters.

 

[Bonimenier]

I don't think they are making it particular hard. Also seems quite of pointless to do on a stage as today as most of the fast men here in the Giro can climb sufficiently well to survive it easy.

This had already been mentioned in some of the pre-race interviews. Yes, Mayrhofer was planned to be the lead sprinter here until Dainese replaced the injured Vandenabeele (who raced and DNF'd Morbihan yesterday, some more classic DSM), but we all know the only reason Dainese is on domestique duty is that the only thing determining the hierarchy at DSM is which riders are liked and disliked by team management. And on a scale from Van Wilder to Cees Bol, Dainese is pretty close to Van Wilder these days.

Are you talking in terms of teacher's pet? Because i think even Van Wilder can beat Bol in a sprint!

I think it was kind of obvious it was only wishful thinking to make the stage a little bit more interesting... but yes, you are probably right.

Can somebody please explain what is a typing error on the dorsal dorsal?

This is untrue. The thing determining the hierarchy at DSM is the team managements plan which should be equalized with Spekenbrink & consorts obsessive compulsive disorder!

Yes, it appeared to be on terms of teacher’s pet. Though, even though Mayrhofer seems to be good, I would think Dainese is the better choice to sprint today.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I was joking. I know what he meant and i don't think Van Wilder would beat Bol in a sprint. Though Van Wilder is fast for a climber and Bol is slow for a sprinter.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

I did enjoy Dan Lloyd's clear, detailed and incorrect explanation of the intermediate sprints

 

[staubsauger]

Bol would've been a perfect leadout man, partner for De Lie though.

Bit like Petacchi & Hondo.

Yes, in terms of teacher's pet.
