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

[Devil's Elbow]

Schachmann not being allowed to ride so that Martinez might beat Caruso for 6th is so stupid.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Already better than last year‘s Giro

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Ganna to win the sprint

 

[Miss Violet Smith]

UAE does have a special talent for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pretty interesting dynamic, Ganna should just go, chase is weak

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Astana riding, I don‘t believe it

 

[Salvarani]

Front group riding like idiots

 

[Tim Cahill]

Nairoman still in the group!!!

 

[Brullnux]

If Arensman can't be a GC threat, that does limit Thomas. With the two TT, Pogacar will likely have a ton of time and all he'd need to is sit on whoever is closest.

Yeah but a weak team encourages attacks - as is happening now. Pogacar then has to work harder to bring them back to win stages/salvage time.

 

[Netserk]

Ulissi

than better Fisher Black or Sivakov

Poor positioning matters a lot less for the role he'd have here. He was a great helper in Abruzzo.

 

[Berniece]

Astana riding, I don‘t believe it

Already thinking about their #7 place in the GC

 

[Laplaz]

Fun stage

 

[Brullnux]

That woman is incredibly alpha

 

[titan31]

What a dumb idiot

 

[iBanesto]

Woman with a dog crossing the road... Mamma mia!

 

[RedheadDane]

Let me just casually stroll across the road in front of a bike race...

(Not me, to be clear!)

 

[tobydawq]

What a move by Conci.

 

[Tim Cahill]

I think Conci takes it, climb isn't long

 

[Red Rick]

Exemplary use of the zebra crossing

 

[Tricycle Rider]

One last climb

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogi goes. Bye bye!

 

[Netserk]

GPS is Italian.

 

[iBanesto]

Pogacar goes!

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Woman with a dog crossing the road... Mamma mia!

Perfect timing, just like a good sprint

 

[Red Rick]

If Pogacar wants to win then he's being a fool by not pulling himself
