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

[Penninepeddler]

I mean have conditions actually gotten worse? Forecasts and weather stations don’t seem to indicate that.

In this T1 sector you have been able to see it. Seemed like at time just big gusts kind of buffetting guys the last 30 mins or so.

What does Cian have on his head?

My historian granddad caught a glimpse of the TT and wondered why Uitdebroeckxs is riding around in Dutch WWII combat helmets.

I checked too and can't see anything about a change, visibly Thomas looked like he was getting blown a bit at points by a crosswind

 

[iBanesto]

Pogacar and Thomas appear to be facing a headwind at the 1st checkpoint.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Uijtdebroeks looks like a budget stormtrooper from the back. Probably about as effective as one on a TT bike too.

What does Cian have on his head?

Hair.

 

[Salvarani]

Martinez done okay from T1 to T2.

 

[PetPaima]

Dani Martinez faster at T2 than any previous GC rider except for Tiberi. So he is doing solid.

 

[Salvarani]

Hair.

Maybe, but I am not sure. Cant see much because of the big tinfoil hat.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Maybe Thomas and Pogacar have covid, opening to door to a quite special Einer Rubio GC victory

 

[ppanther92]

Ganna wins this. Cause Thomas again lost a ton of time, and I don't expect Pogacar to do that much better. And no way he takes over a minute on the climb in the end.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Blobloblo okay, not great but a lot better than the people around him.

Being a lot (40s by T2) better than Fortunato and Rubio isnt impressive in any way imo.

No but I have extremely low expectations

 

[tobydawq]

No sandwich for Geraint this year.

 

[Red Rick]

Thomas gaining very little on Martinez between T1 and T2.

 

[Red Rick]

JuanPe completely exploded on the climb.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Pogacar still with a chance

 

[Brullnux]

Going to be really close for the stage win. Brilliant second split from Pog

 

[Devil's Elbow]

What is this pacing plan by Pogacar?

 

[tobydawq]

Pogcineration incoming. Andiamo!!

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Arensman had a good TT

Must be different trainer to his road one ?

Hm, ok. Lets see

Pogacar quite a large bit better than Thomas in the second sector.

 

[iBanesto]

Pogacar now 40 secs ahead of Thomas at the 2nd checkpoint.

Pog finding his groove
