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

[Samu Cuenca]

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

Just a shame that he was the last starter, so he didn't get the opportunity to get passed by a rider, and then overtake him again at double speed later on.

 

[Red Rick]

Hold on babe new MTT meme just arrived

 

[Fantastico]

47s is easy gg Pog wins by 15 seconds

Great forecast

 

[JosefK]

 

[scribers]

That was insane

 

[Red Rick]

Great forecast

Not sure why everyone expected differently after that T2 split.

 

[Ricco']

Pogi put 1'20 on Thomas just on the last climb

 

[Didinho]

With a heavy TT bike. Monster climb.
Even time for celebration.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Thomas must have not measured his efforts as poor there by his standards

 

[Filippo_3467]

ugh Giro over barring crashes or sickness but I guess we knew that before the start.

Martinez probably favourite for 2nd now if he only would have team support in the mountains.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Tiberi the only GC guy within 1:30.

 

[Brullnux]

Dani obliterated Geraint by 50 secs on the climb.

Pogi stomped Ganna.

Great! Ineos is so detestable outfit that they deserve only ignominy!!!!

I agree, the sportswashers are a much more moral outfit

 

[Nick2413]

Pacing is the untapped frontier of TT gains and Pog nailed it.

 

[saunaking]

The Danish Skirt's rehab just had a setback

 

[ppanther92]

So Thomas just lost 1:20 to Pogacar on a 6km climb with what 4-5% average? (although steeper parts of course in it)

 

[Unchained]

Ganna shitting bricks right now

He had a look like his parents returned the bike he got for Christmas!! He is crushed!! Off camera he is crying

 

[ice&fire]

Good news for Ganna. Alberto "Van der Poel for Giro podium" Contador predicts a Pogacar win

That was profetic

 

[titan31]

Pog will probably win GC by 10 plus minutes if he wants to

 

[Red Rick]

Very underwhelming TT for Thomas, maybe age is catching up with him after all.

Not only age. Terrible pacing, compeltely blew up on the climb.

 

[nightowl]

Well hey the race for 2nd is shaping up nicely at least

 

[johnymax]

Pogi wins with only 17s ahead of Ganna in a MTT. He is finished. He'll maybe win the Giro and Tre Valli Varesine this year and that's it.

 

[postmanhat]

Ganna - I'm not angry with you Tadej, just disappointed.

 

[PetPaima]

I agree, the sportswashers are a much more moral outfit

They ain't. Much. Still better, but bad.

 

[hfer07]

So Poga pulled a Roglic on Ganna

 

[tobydawq]

That is an insane climb from Pog...

did he just put 30 seconds into EVERYONE over less than 6km.

Yes but is that really a surprise? It's not as insane as Vingegaard from last year's Tour, definitely.
