2:16 massive kudos to the editors on this one. An engaging and captivating highlight of stage 1. We see the improvements and we love them

[@jelleducheyne]

To think there is 55km more TT kilometers left this Giro...

[@eigilnikolajsen]

That's only an hour of riding for Remco

[@swites]

Can't believe someone so light and small is so fast on the flat compared to 80kg beasts like Ganna. His overall watts and CDA must be incredible.

[@hoebertrabeck1621]

he can do it because he is compact. a little monster. its not like he is slim or something. he is just a small power package.

[@q3trimco]

Legs and lungs baby!

[@MrBoggins1234]

Remco is the complete package now with 4 years world tour "learning" behind him. He has just turned 23 has won plenty of one week stage races, classics, TTs he has a grand tour and the world's in his cabinet. Surely the next Eddie M?! There are no guarantees in a grandy though, excited.

He’s the Aero Bullet!

@@funnykreeft he was nowhere near this level before joining uae, he himself said " I just haven’t been able to go fast in a good position since turning professional so being able to get on a good bike with the team, and in the right position" after nationals in the itt, the first he's ever podiumed.

A very nice race this year, crossing the beautiful "Costa dei Trabocchi" from Ortona to Vasto !!!🥰

[@paulader9007]

Remco looked like a miniature compared to the rider he blew past at 2:41. They won’t be beating him this year if he doesn’t run into trouble

[@nigelcallander1862]

Correct - got better support for mountains also

[@ValtintimeGaming]

was probably pulling less watts than the rider he overtook :D

[@riquelmeone]

wait for the Mountains. Giro is not Vuelta. Also, with Rosa on his shoulders already, his team will need to put an effort in for longer.

[@woutervl]

Daan Hoole is 1.98m and easily 80kg+ !

[@mariobahama]

Remco is in great shape and he demolished everyone else. But it's a three week race and a lot of things can happen.

[@nigelcallander1862]

You’d rather be leading though Another 2 demolition ITT to come - Remco is also 10 yrs younger than most contenders He’s only going to get better

[@jeffw9465]

Yes 3 weeks. But he left his mark

[@sldulin]

@@nigelcallander1862 curious to see how that mountain tt goes. If Remco has to get out of the saddle he loses his advantage imo.

[@DrJRMCFC]

Wow, seriously quick. Vine could cause carnage on the steep climbs later on.

43 sec is a nice cushion for Remco on Roglic but Rog plus his team have the ability to claw that back in the mountains

[@jc74435]

What team? 😂

[@ExplorinDoranRBrown]

And unfortunately probably lose tons of time on the other TT kilometers. I was hoping Roglic would be much closer.

[@nigelcallander1862]

Great ITT - but his team probably won’t support him 100% Did much better than expected though - I’ve watched him closely past couple of years

[@hariw834]

Imo, Evenepoels TT performance nowadays is quite well into alltime best TT level, what a Tony Martin or Cancellara only could do in their prime. And evenepoel could climb with the best. He is a mini version of Jan Ulrich, but 100% committed, zero distractions and super motivated.

[@alphonsebundy4135]

Remco is amazing, interesting how the next week will end up for him

[@johnr8820]

The juice is strong in Remco 😅

[@nigelcallander1862]

Well done Almeida ….

[@sldulin]

He looked impressive to me. Looks like he is down to his fighting weight and ready to rumble. If either of the top two crack I could see him taking second.

[@matthillard9363]

Long way to go and it seems people get all excited and think its over cause remco had a great day in the saddle. Knowibg promoz theyll be on near even time going into fhe last week

[@Peter-li5bc]

Evenepoel winning isn't surprising, but the way he does it, is! He destroys the competition, 43 seconds on Roglic, even 22 on Ganna. It's like you have Evenepoel, and then 20/30 seconds behind the rest fighting for a second place. Absolute class!

[@william2220]

....and there's the finishing GC placings for the 2023 Giro. It'll be interesting to see how the competing teams manage those big time gaps from day one.

@@gcnracing Hi, thanks. I found English on stage 2 onwards. Very exciting racing so far. I must express my approval of the commentary team telling us more about the other things (such as castles and so on) as we pass, almost a throw back to the days of the very fine commentator, David Duffield. I always enjoyed his style. I've never been to Italy and not likely to now but it is enjoyable to see it and with the "tourist guide" bit. Thanks GCN for showing great racing and great scenery.

[@EJGilb]

@@Edward-ry1jk it's certainly possible. There have been several high profile doping scandals in other sports recently, and that's only the ones you hear about. Innocent until proven guilty, but microdosing is so hard to detect if you do it right. There isn't an easy solution but it still shouldn't be normalized and shutting down the discussion by taking the high ground isn't helpful.

I disagree. I believe it can set the tone for the race.

[@pjetrs]

maybe this year it's a bit extreme, but often ITT's lead to more attacks from pure climbers in the mountains

[@AndrewDHDavidson]

How does it ruin it? It's called the race of truth for a reason, there's no hiding behind your team of domestiques, the strongest riders have to prove themselves on the day - which is how it should be. It also sets up future stages for more exciting and aggressive racing because the gaps are bigger and those who lost time have to make riskier, long-range attacks to climb up GC. When the GC is tight amongst the top-10 they all just wait until the final 1km of a mountain finish and sprint. That's way more dull to watch.

[@NilolozMurusidze-zd8ol]

My will: never subscribe to GCN

[@wolfharthiphop]

What kind of drugs are these guys on nowadays? Is EPO still a thing?

[@EJGilb]

Yes, but it's taken at really small doses, at which it can clear your system very quickly (while you sleep) so that it's not detectable by the time the testing window opens. The blood markers just looks like you've been on an altitude camp.
