Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025, stage 1: Durrës - Tirana (160.0k)

[Tricycle Rider]

Nice that this is not some kind of a Sunday ride parcourse on the very first day of racing, 10km to go

 

[Brullnux]

Gee also dropped

 

[postmanhat]

James Bond vilian lair!

 

[Potomac]

Gee whiz

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Gee distanced by 23 seconds?

 

[SafeBet]

GeeRO no more?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Bufalo Gee also dropped.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Derek caught out, where's just stop oil get them out here right now

 

[Gigs_98]

Lmao it's @Netserk's 9/11

 

[Peyroteo94]

Gee, Thymen are so overrated

 

[Cycling111]

PCS:

Gee Derek (Israel - Premier Tech) is dropped from peloton

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Lets go Lidl. Full gas on the descent.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Derrick gee like geoghen hart on etna in 2020

 

[nightowl]

Maybe the first warm day for him + too long of a break from intense efforts?

Still seems insane to be dropped on a climb like this by versatile sprinters…

Edit: seems like he’s not the only one with that problem though

 

[Mayomaniac]

Where's Landa?

 

[postmanhat]

Gee also dropped

Gee and Arensman both looked pretty bad at the start of The TOA, then filled out the podium.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Aular still well-positioned

 

[Brullnux]

Gee, Thymen are so overrated

I don't see how this is true when nobody really rates them. Arensman will be there in the high mountains but we all know he is too inconsistent for anything more than a top five

 

[Tim Cahill]

Israel still have Fuglsang as a secondary GC option

 

[Netserk]

Geesus will resurrect in the third week!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Where's Landa?

The eternal question.

 

[SafeBet]

Landismo dropped or not?

 

[Brullnux]

Gee and Arensman both looked pretty bad at the start of The TOA, then filled out the podium.

That was such a bizarre race, it's difficult to say much more than Storer was superb and Ciccone also good (but more on the basis of LBL, frankly).

 

[Squire]

Poor Rick Pluimers will become a meme now after becoming Kirby's latest obsession.

 

[Boehmand]

Irrespective of who wins, the way Trek rides is so impressive - their main GC guy sacrificing himself for Mads, one for all and all for one.

On another note, when one of the biggest sports events in the world, visit the capital of a country that rarely gets big sports events, I'd have expected the roads of Tirana to be lined with people.

It's just empty
