Giro d'Italia Giro d’Italia 2024, Stage 7: Foligno – Perugia, 40.6k (ITT)

[Netserk]

Cross wind should hit the bike disproportionately more, which size shouldn't scale with weight

Yeah, that's a good point for the difference between small and bigger riders.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I thought I remembered a rule whereby it was incumbent on the rider coming from behind to avoid taking slipstream advantage. Or do I only think I remember it?

That was not Barta. It was Pelayo Sánchez. The producers are clearly quite confused.

You think you remember it.

There's definitely no such rule.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

German commentators completely confused now because they showed Will Barta‘s time for Pelayo Mayo.

 

[Red Rick]

Ganna to go high 38 minutes by T2?

 

[Tim Cahill]

The drafting thing is triathlon only iirc

 

[Netserk]

52.8 km/h on the flat for Ganna.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bjerg should be just in

 

[Red Rick]

Come on Pippo not sitting down on this part

 

[Brullnux]

Goodness gracious Ganna

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Ganna is struggling a bit on the climb.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Some of the 103 year old Belgians on here nodding approvingly at Robbie Mckewan talking about doing 68km time trials in the tour

 

[Netserk]

He looked good on the climb. He will take more time on Bjerg.

 

[Izzyeviel]

anything noteworthy happen?

 

[Didinho]

Ganna looked really good on the steepest parts. Good cadance. Will be hard to beat today.

 

[Red Rick]

He looked good on the climb. He will take more time on Bjerg.

I do think he needs to.

One discipline I'd love to see in Tour like once in every 4 years is a 1st-day ½TTT of 100 kms.

Team to freely divide their team to A- and B-squads and have that traditional (if scrapped) Olympic discipline.

Would need to be at the start of Tour so each team was still complete 2 times 4 guys.

 

[Brullnux]

Ganna looked really good on the steepest parts. Good cadance. Will be hard to beat today.

Yeah he was moving about a lot but rhythm looked very solid

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Ganna's skinsuit is very cool looking, and the area they are riding through also looks very nice.

 

[Red Rick]

PCS has Ganna doing the steep part of the climb in 4:44 at sub 1800 VAM

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Ganna‘s second intermediate time has been corrected up by five seconds

 

[Tim Cahill]

How many people has Ganna actually passed here? 7?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Watching Ganna pass all these guys reminds me of that 10 minute montage at the start of one of the later Game of Thrones episodes where Cersei Lannister eliminates all of her enemies

 

[Netserk]

11" faster than Bjerg on the climb.
