Giro d'Italia 2024 Giro d'Italia route rumours

[Netserk]

It did not stop the climbers in 2023.

Now factor in the Tour route and its ITT mileage.

It did not stop the climbers in 2023.

The 2023 Tour didn't have all four of these on the startlist. There will surely be more climbers also for the 2024 Tour. But give all of these are heading for the Tour, I can see more of guys like Hindley, Carapaz, Simon Yates, Gall and perhaps one or two of the Ineos contenders going for the Giro.

I'll be interested to know who Jumbo will send to the Giro. The A-team will be at the Tour, but who will lead the team at the Giro, Kuss? Kruijswijk?

Sending Kuss to the Giro seems logical to me. You know he can win GTs and he has proven he can sustain a high level for multiple GTs meaning he can still be a great domestique at the Tour

Kuss, and then he will do the tour as super domestique. Jumbo can do two solid teams for the giro and the tour.

Jumbo team for the Giro

Sepp kuss
Kruijswijk
Valter
Gloag
Benoot
Gesink
Affini
Tratnik

Jumbo team for the tour

Vingegaard
Kuss
Kelderman
Jorgenson
Van aert
Van baarle
Laporte
Tratnik

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Yeah, I guess Kuss for GC at the Giro and then as a super domestique in the Tour seems a no brainer. Also gives Vingegaard the opportunity to be their all out leader at the Vuelta.

They just should present it eh basta. Instead always old guys in suits talking for hours.

Why do the women get such a lame trophy compared to the men?

I was going to say that I like that trophy.

But you're probably right, it is of course not as cool as the Trofeo Senza Fine. However, those standards are hard to meet given that it's the most beautiful trophy in sport.

Add the broadcast issues and this is Italy at its finest.

As long as the broadcast is better than this, it's ahead of my expectations.

The Tour Presentation is even worse...

Italians always dress a lot better, yes.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Im neutral on Nibali, but I'd kinda like him to leave immediately and see some profiles instead

 

[Mayomaniac]

Italian TV has turned talking a lot without saying anything relevant a form of art, I guess that has to be explained to non-Italian viewers.

Stage 5 harder than we thought right?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Stage 7 ITT + stage 8 Prati di Tivo combo

It's at definitely more unique than the one they had this year, which was like the Trofeo Senza Fine from Wish.

 

[roundabout]

Prati di Tivo 5 star stage. Although does not feel like a 5 star stage from the description.

Hope it's just an arbitrary designation and not what a 5 star stage is now

Montemagno is too easy to drop the sprinters.

 

[ashhutch1997]

Shame the sterrato stage is before the ITT

 

[ashhutch1997]

The Naploli stage is pretty poor for a Sunday stage tbh.

 

[Max Rockatansky]

Prati di Tivo 5 star stage. Although does not feel like a 5 star stage from the description.

I would give it a 4. But still looks great.
