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

[Cycling111]

Roglic doesn't like leading in the early days. Tomorrow, Red Bull will leave the break.

Did Van Aert crash or does he randomly have a hole in his suit on his hip?

It's not a hole, but a logo.

New to Spanish-Portuguese rivalry? A tale as old as time. Repeated all over the world. The funniest thing is how one sided it is, the Spanish only care about the French, who at the same time only care.. etc etc

Rivalry, sure - but he said "hate".

We Danes don't hate the Swedes anymore, despite having fought more wars with them than any other two nations in human history.

Castelli logo on both sides.

 

[Andre]

why is Wout wearing purple?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Is Van Aert even trying?

 

[Red Rick]

Pedersen gonna keep pink easily

 

[Brullnux]

Van Aert really slow

 

[AmRacer]

Wout

 

[QueenStagiaire]

No legs for Wout it seems

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pedersen taking the piss, surely gone out too fast.

Edit: yeah losing a bit of time now

 

[titan31]

That is terrible from WVA

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Wout tanked.....

 

[Didinho]

Mads with a 10” bonus will be close.

 

[Cycling111]

Disappointing ITT from Van Aert. After his strong time trial in the Algarve, I thought he'd be fighting for victory today.

 

[Salvarani]

Sickness came at a bad time for him before Giro

He might be better in the Tour though

 

[Red Rick]

Is Van Aert even trying?

Probably is, Van Aert hanging on for dear life yesterday and then riding an okay sprint just set wild expectations for Van Aert.

 

[Sciatic]

Is Van Aert even trying?

Nope

 

[Boehmand]

why is Wout wearing purple?

2nd placed rider in the points competition after Mads

 

[Cycling111]

Tarling lost several seconds on that climb.

He has flyed on the flat.

 

[TrekCyclist]

van Aert with an off day, unfortunately

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Probably is, Van Aert hanging on for dear life yesterday and then riding an okay sprint just set wild expectations for Van Aert.

I mean, he is right in between Bardet and Rubio at T1. Even a bad Van Aert should do a lot better.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Van Aert just done no tt work probably

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Nah, Pedersen won‘t keep the jersey

 

[Red Rick]

The last time Roglic and Pedersen battled for anything, it didn't go Wright for Primoz
