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

@F_Cance It's a UAE guy that makes the first swerve by the barriers!

Vervaecke says now that it's Cerny and Ballero who held Remco in front. But indeed the UAE guy.

Have you guys seen the route?

Next certain sprint is on stage 17...

3,5,6,8,10,11,12 and 14 could all be sprints as likes of Pedersen and Matthews should be there at least on those stages.

Robbie McEwen reckons it was Ackermann into Ballerina and then Affini swerved.

 

[JosefK]

The most shocking thing about the crash is, Roglic didn't go down.

 

[DNP-Old]

15 minutes and still nothing more than a top 10. This is unacceptable.

 

[Salvarani]

Tusveld is looking back behind him right at the moment the others are having to swerve/adjust. He is then the first one to crash, because he has very little time to react.

Had he been looking straight forward it probably doesnt happen.

Idk. It is how I saw it.

 

[MartinGT]

Dangerous final few KM's with the tightening of the course tbh

 

[Tim Cahill]

In Romandie we had riders popping up on PCS almost instantly after they came in, what's going on here.

 

[JosefK]

15 minutes and still nothing more than a top 10. This is unacceptable.

Looks like McNulty has won the stage and pink jersey?

Yeah, i thought i saw German flag on his armsleeves.

 

[Samamba]

Lol Remco

 

[jmdirt]

Congrats Milan! GT sprint victory for the young (22?) man!

Relax my friend. Is a slow Sunday

 

[HelloDolly]

Poor timings
Poor finale

em Giro

Remco saying 'we know who caused the crash', without giving a name.

 

[Valv.Piti]

This top-3 though.. looks beyond dreadful!

 

[JosefK]

Maybe larger results are being held up by a race jury deliberation about the 3km rule.

Milan is fast if he's in the right place - Groenewegen could not run him down in the last 100 metres of a Saudi stage.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Remco saying 'we know who caused the crash', without giving a name.

Imagine him going "IT WAS ME, MWUHAHAHAHA"!!

Maybe larger results are being held up by a race jury deliberation about the 3km rule.

I think the 3k rule being retroactively extended has only happened once, in that hugely controversial Cali stage. Much more likely it's Tudor being worse than useless again.

Yes, but my point is that normal sprinters have no business on those stages (maybe stage 11 is realistic).

I think a bunch of sprinters here or not here would survive those stages unless other teams went crazy to shell them out.

 

[Sciatic]

Nice ride by Milan—he first had to keep up his speed after getting barged into by one the pro-conti team riders (sorry I don’t recognize their current jersey) who was not even their primary sprinter.

 

[Samamba]

That's a BS reason. Can literally just tweak them afterwards. They always do that.

My favorite application of the 3km rule was 2011 Tour stage 1, when there was a crash within the 3km that held up a crash that happened earlier
