Giro d'Italia 2023 Giro d'Italia, Stage 9: Savignano sul Rubicone – Cesena 35 km ITT (Sunday, May 14th)

[Salvarani]

Roglic is going good now

 

[Riek s]

Very close everyone at the end....

If Remco doesn't recover he is dead meat for this giro. F this is due to his crash, it was very costly!

 

[HelloDolly]

And all the experts on here who discounted Tao

 

[chickenlips]

So Remco is saving himself for the mountains and not trying to gain in the ITT's.🙄

 

[johnymax]

Good Rogla....
I just can't believe Thomas and especially Tao wow

 

[topcat]

G born 1 second before Tao

 

[noob]

So what do we think for Evenepoel now? Its not only his climbing legs or a bad day but at least atm he is not at his top game - crash consequences or suffering fom mini peak at LBL? Or a combination?

Crashes creating exhaustion. Hard to sleep too when banged up on both sides?

 

[Salvarani]

Masterclass from G

 

[King Of The Wolds]

Never doubt the evergreen capabilities of the new and improved version of George Hincapie.

Give it a rest. Bro has finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the Tour, and has won just about every big 1 week stage race going, as you well know. He's one of the best stage racers this century, hardly worthy of comparison with Hincapie, no matter how much he gets your goat.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

If Tao's climbing improves as much as his TT has, Remco and Roglic could be in for a real race.

 

[Lequack]

Imagine Tao winning the TT ahead of Kung wtf

Marginal gains are back on the table. They have Dan Bingham as their TT advisor.

 

[Bolder]

I don't normally love ITTs but this is thrilling.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Ineos not wasting any time, great ride by Tao and Thomas.

 

[Didinho]

Remco just doesn't want pink so early.

 

[Riek s]

So what do we think for Evenepoel now? Its not only his climbing legs or a bad day but at least atm he is not at his top game - crash consequences or suffering fom mini peak at LBL? Or a combination?

Crash, very clearly. Indicated pain in the legs yesterday before they started racing. Fluid out his wounds...

He is missing 10-20w

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Thomas much better than in the first TT as well, peaking at the perfect moment.

 

[Salvarani]

Remco same time as G

 

[Elos Anjos]

 

[Scarponi]

Sky gains are crazy

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Give it a rest. Bro has finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the Tour, and has won just about every big 1 week stage race going, as you well know. He's one of the best stage racers this century, hardly worthy of comparison with Hincapie, no matter how much he gets your goat.

As a rider, as a skillset, as a career trajectory? He is what they tried to make Hincapie.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Why is Evenepoel weaving everywhere

 

[Salvarani]

Remco zigzagging over the cobbles

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Who was that guy who said Ineos don't have a real contender ? Houttdfan?

 

[ppanther92]

Finally we have good old Sky GT peak again. Was already worried that they lost their edge

 

[Devil's Elbow]

So who said longer TTs produce too large gaps between the main GC riders in the modern era again? Close to status quo today.
