Giro d'Italia Giro d’Italia 2024, Stage 14: Castigliano delle Stiviere – Desenzano del Garda, 31.2k (ITT)

"460W average for Ganna", Voigt quoted from the Eurosport Whatsapp group. Apparently confirmed by Ganna himself.

 

[Salvarani]

Hope Tiberi can do something great today.

 

[Red Rick]

Seems low

 

[Brullnux]

How close can Pogacar get to Ganna do you all reckon

25s or thereabouts

 

[Peyroteo94]

After seeing this performance from Ganna, Pogi will not stand a chance. If he loses less than 40 seconds, it is a massive win

 

[Netserk]

Seems low

Yeah. They should be free-wheeling less than 10 % of the time?

 

[Brullnux]

25s or thereabouts

Seems fair – it's quite funny how few 25km+ flat TTs Pogacar has done in his career

Ganna was doing that for +30min in tts when he was 20/21 years old, so yeah...

 

[Red Rick]

Might just be less heavy and like power meter calibration and ***

They gave Ganna 430 for the climb in Perugia amd that also seemed too low

Is Ganna so aero? It seems very low...

 

[Red Rick]

Ganna could be sacrificing power for aero now

But commentators also mentioned his hour record was 490W

 

[Salvarani]

Lets see what Sheffield can do. Good chance at finishing top 3 probably.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Just catching up with the results so far. I see Ewan is continuing in the race but did Mezgec not start today?

 

[Peyroteo94]

For some reason Remco is better than Ganna at time trialling. Ganna can't produce monster watts like Cancellara used to make back in the old days. And we can add his inability to compete in cobbled classics like roubaix can be justified by his lack of true sheer power.

Came 6th in the only year he properly prepped for it tbf. I think you could also see how much he was struggling on the cobbles that day, just continuously lost ground.

 

[iBanesto]

Alaphilippe did not bother with a TT helmet.

 

[Brullnux]

Trentin with a totally random 50kph time trial

Short TT or prologues(between 7 and 10 km) are very important to analyse who are the best TT because aerodynamic isn't that important compared to sheer power, when they need to break and accelerate constantly. Cancellara was a master because he was insanely powerful.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Seems strange to say about someone who just came 6th at Flanders but they must be looking at Magnus Sheffield and thinking Dumoulin/Wiggins

Not really

Sheffield has stated his dream was to win the Tour. 1-2 years ago in an interview, I believe.

Mezgec not on the list so I guess not.

Ganna is normally really good on those, though, and has had some crazy 20s wins on 10km TTs. He's fairly inconsistent admittedly, but lest we forget he has a sub 4 minute 4km pursuit

 

[Brullnux]

Sheffield is really, really good
