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

[Tim Cahill]

Maybe Ganna just did a really great tt after all

 

[Gigs_98]

Really good 2nd split for Pogacar, but I think the gap after the first check was just already too big.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Thomas is usually better in TT s ???

wonder if there is a problem

 

[Red Rick]

47s is easy gg Pog wins by 15 seconds

 

[postmanhat]

Good recovery by Juampe. Unfortunately, didn't realise there's another TT, so it will take some ridiculously good climbing to even finish in the top ten.

 

[Izzyeviel]

no, theres a reason his last TT win was over 2100 days ago in 2018.

 

[johnymax]

Pogi with the Rogla approach. He will Pogistomp the climb for a near stage win.

 

[Mayomaniac]

47s is easy gg Pog wins by 15 seconds

The Sloth started slow...

 

[Gigs_98]

47s is easy gg Pog wins by 15 seconds

I was wondering, if the UAE TT set up is really heavier than that of the competition this should be a bit of a disadvantage from now on. He'll gain time, but 47s is a lot.

 

[ppanther92]

Ok, that now looks like Pogi hammers the climb.

 

[Brullnux]

Rubio also blew up on the climb. Smaller guys really didn't pace themselves well at all

 

[Poursuivant]

I was wondering, if the UAE TT set up is really heavier than that of the competition this should be a bit of a disadvantage from now on. He'll gain time, but 47s is a lot.

I will go with Pog to be second by 16”

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Great crowds today

 

[AnotherArmChair]

I didnt expect G to beat Pog or Ganna but his other INEOS team mates have done so much better hence why I think all is not well with him

[Didinho]

Ok Cian. Well done.

Plapp takes white.

 

[Salvarani]

Good from Cian.

 

[PetPaima]

O'Connor 4th, Plapp 5th, Lutsenko 6th in GC tonight?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Uijtdebroeks' helmet, I just can't

 

[ppanther92]

So O'Connor got 29s back on the climb, Schachmann 28s, Tiberi 24s. So theoretically over 30s should be possible for Pogi. But 47s still is a lot.

 

[Brullnux]

I am pro hosting TTs in pretty cities.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Uijtdebroeks has never finished in the top-30 in a non-NC, non-MTT time trial as a pro, by his standards this was excellent. Which says as much about his standards as this performance, but still.

 

[Didinho]

Dani Martinez podium ready.

 

[Ricco']

Classic PCM tactic of saving green bar on the flat to smash it on the climb.

 

[Netserk]

Pogi with the Rogla approach. He will Pogistomp the climb for a near stage win.

mountain sprinter is back in style
