2024 Giro d'Italia, Stage 1: Venaria Reale - Torino, 140 km (Saturday, May 4)

[KZD]

Novak once again doing great domestique work for his teammate and countryman.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Reasonable pace, about 70 riders or so left and I think 4 Emirates near the front w/Pogacar, descent of the climb looks very fast

 

[Netserk]

Novak once again doing great domestique work for his teammate and countryman.

I don't get why they use him so early.

 

[Salvarani]

Pozzo involved in a crash... as always

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Gesink and Pozzovivo crashing like it's 2014.

 

[RedheadDane]

Crash. Gesink and Pozzovivo among others...

 

[Salvarani]

I don't get why they use him so early.

Was perfect to use him on that last climb. He just drove the pace up a bit.

 

[Landeirovic]

Was perfect to use him on that last climb. He just drove the pace up a bit.

right!

 

[Salvarani]

Bjerg pushing it now

 

[titan31]

Who was the Bahrain rider who looked hurt?

 

[Red Rick]

Crash by the usual suspects

 

[tobydawq]

Pogi's hair tuft situation is extreme today. He'll win by a minute.

 

[Red Rick]

Laporte dropped. I thought he was going to win the stage.

Any commentator naming sprinters as contenders today should be fired on the spot

 

[tobydawq]

Who was the Bahrain rider who looked hurt?

Træen.

 

[topcat]

UAE true to their word, taking it easy

 

[Salvarani]

Bjerg doing great work here

 

[Netserk]

Majka should be spent on this climb, better to keep Grossschartner for afterwards.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Arensman in trouble

 

[JosefK]

The inevitable to happen shortly ...

 

[tobydawq]

Arensman is really close to getting dropped.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Don't know what the commentator is on about, Arensman is here as a domestique according to his dad, though pace must be pretty good if he's going off the back already.

 

[tobydawq]

And Valentin Paret-Peintre.

 

[titan31]

Arensman is definitely a shock at getting dropped this early

 

[Taxus4a]

I didnt etched how hard is last climb..I think Pogacar will win, almost sure, but if allaphillepe is good we will see...

 

[Red Rick]

The Great Dutch Hope just dropped.

Where Is Bauke Mollema (when you need him)
