Giro d'Italia 2025, stage 2: Tirana - Tirana (13.7k ITT)

[Salvarani]

Plapp being Plapp.

 

[Salvarani]

He started pedaling way too soon there in the corner, which made him tip over

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I hope the photographer got some great pics of the sliding bike.

I suspect the fall will leave Plapp on the backburner for the next week. In saying that he most suited to the second half of the Giro.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Vine with that Zwift-level cornering skills...

 

[Tim Cahill]

A lot to be gained and lost on those slippy corners

Was he operated in his left or right hand earlier this year?

 

[Red Rick]

Seems very windy out there

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Vine seems to have taken the crash well. 5 seconds in front of Affini at the first stop.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Vine with that Zwift-level cornering skills...

I hope he continues this because so far he's leading

 

[Salvarani]

Vine makes me nervous watching

I don't think he'll be fastest at the finish.

 

[Salvarani]

Tirana looks lovely this time of the year

VLAB needs to lose those helmets. Partly because they quickly lose their aero advantage the moment your head moves. But perhaps more importantly, because they are an abomination.

Also not exactly save when you crash...

 

[Netserk]

New best time!

I thought wrong.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

A lot to be gained and lost on those slippy corners

#Pray4Roglic

Better put that bubble wrap on him already because he's so susceptible anyway

 

[tobydawq]

He can't even drink from a bottle without destroying it?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Wooooo, pornstache Vine in the hotseat now!

Ah, but surely you're fond of the Bygma Beauty?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It sounds like Jens Voigt has never rode faster than 59 km/h.

 

[Peyroteo94]

The second part of this TT is very fast. Heavier riders can gain a lot.

 

[Ripper]

Ah, but surely you're fond of the Bygma Beauty?

You are evil

 

[Peyroteo94]

A big day for Tarling. I hope he delivers!
