Giro d'Italia 2020, Stage 2: Alcamo – Agrigento 149 km

[Keram]

I think your memory failed you a bit, there

Factchcek here

1-2 is even 1x TDF 1xQuebec and 2x TDS for Matthews. 1x WCRR (this was not a sprint though Sagan went solo). 1x TDF, 1x Pologne, 1X California for Sagan. Sagan has 18 additional wins when Matthews was top 10 though.

Only one time Québec (Sagan wasn't at the start in 2018) but he also has a Vuelta stage from 2014 where Sagan didn't go top 100.

Edit: Okay, I'm a bit confused what you're talking about now. But apparently, Matthews has won five races where Sagan was also present. Four of those times, Sagan was 2nd, the last time he was 129th.

ES 2 will be broadcasting Liege and Giro at the same time apparently. At least czech version. I am curious how they can handle this.

Shouldn't be an issue unless they both are due to finish at roughly the same time. Only the last ten minutes or so of the Giro stage are likely to be interesting. They should mainly broadcast the monument.

2x Quebec was a typo. I edited it. Bling won definitely more than one with Sagan in the mix but Sagan won more than twenty with Bling in the mix. It was easy for SKSemtex that memory lied to him

Of course. I would also like to forget those times.

I am warming a bit to Matthews, though. And I think he has a much better chance than Sagan today.

Seems fitting. Ganna did really ace it.

 

[Salvarani]

Any wind today? The race going pretty close to the sea all day.

 

[RedheadDane]

It's De Gendt time!

I think that too. I have strong bad feeling that Sagan will try and will be dropped somewhere at that climb.

Is it just my Eurosport broadcast or is the Giro picture quality really shitty compared to other races like the Tour or the belgian classics?

 

[Keram]

It is over already. We can switch to LBL

No its the same on RAI TV the colours are really dimmed.
Yesterday I thought it might be the dust in the warm sirocco wind
but today ...

Any Giro stage, or Canadian, Czech, whatever race that makes Ulissi favorite is a cheap, short, borderline meaningless entertainment that makes him a half trick pony, it can be exhilarating until three minutes after the finish then we can move on quickly. Only Stephen Cummings' late ambushes gets from wow to meh more quickly. I have nothing against them, it's just those kinds of stages...

Sicily in october is really beautifull

i I know but I have very selectiv memory

Exiting the trash-filled Palermo area can have quite an effect.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Ineos really not giving the break much leeway. Happy days for Sunweb, Bora, UAE etc.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Well that’s pretty clear proof that Demare wants the points jersey, Gaviria too.

 

[SKSemtex]

Of course. I would also like to forget those times.

I remember that one because that stage was hard to forget. SAGAN was doing the elimination race and if he won that stage Orica would have been very humiliated.
actually I like Blink, he is half Slovak.

 

[will-10]

Ironic that the new EF kit is less easy to pick out in the bunch than the standard kit

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Everyone on Cofidis getting a turn to hit the tarmac it seems

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Ineos let the gap slide out to over 5 mins, forcing Sunweb and UAE to help the chase if they want to contest the stage

 

[FjPavels]

Bad start to the Giro for Astana...

 

[Jan the Man]

Vlasov obviously ill- disappointing for the race.
