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

Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if the wind got worse. Thomas should not lose 52 seconds in that section.

 

[JosefK]

Wind being mischievous.

 

[johnymax]

Okay, Pogacar isn't that lucky.

He has Jens Voigt talking on the motor behind him.

Isn't it pushing him to go even faster, further away from Jens

 

[PetPaima]

Hopefully every English-speaker is swept off the race inside a week. Hate every one of them. USA, UK and Australia should be forever banned from the sport.

When Pog comes through we will know how the wind conditions are.

Would expect Pog to be about 10-20 behind at most.

EDIT: Thought he was further away from the split:

+44 for Pog
+52 for Thomas

guess they are losing 20-30 seconds each over that split or something due to wind.

 

[saunaking]

commentators shocked pog isnt beating Ganna ffs

 

[Valv.Piti]

Wind must have changed

 

[tobydawq]

Wind has definitely changed.

Pog can never catch a break.

 

[ppanther92]

I think Thomas is faster than Pogi judging where the are at the course. But I could be totally wrong as well.

Ok, wrong with that but close and Pogacar really far behind already...

 

[Brullnux]

Pogacar being 44s behind Ganna is a pretty big surprise

 

[Salvarani]

Solid all things considered.

 

[scribers]

lol @ commentator asking Jen’s what’s going through the minds of the leaders

 

[johnymax]

I've seen enough. Roglič to win the Tour...

 

[Brullnux]

Wind has definitely changed. I think Arensman/Schachmann/Sheffield might have had the best of the conditions, better even than Ganna.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Solid all things considered.

8 seconds up on Thomas, not good

 

[tobydawq]

I doubt that was what they were saying...

 

[Red Rick]

Remember I said nothing, cause I did not want to be in big trouble.

Why don't you hate Canada?

Wait a second, Jens is a certified medium, he just knows stuff.

 

[Red Rick]

T1-T2 section is less unfavorable, they've been losing about half of what they've been losing at T1.

8 seconds up on Thomas, not good

Not awesome but Thomas in itself is for sure one of the strongest ITTers in the flat of the GT riders.

No big deal. Never thought Pog would crush everyone in the TT here. He is ahead. Let see at the finish.

 

[Squire]

O'Connor a beast on the climb.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ordinary tt for Pogacar even relatively speaking, pre-covid the kid put 55 seconds into Thomas across a similar distance last year on stage 1

 

[Unchained]

Honestly riding a big gear here doesn't seem great with the crosswind cause it's much harder to rebalance

I would have assumed that but even smaller riders look to be ripping pretty high cadence!! People are very strong!! That previous camera view of Pogacar he is really spinning it.. Ganna is probably a reason Shimano cranks break.. Guy is a beast
