Technical TT Tests GC Leaders Form | Giro D'Italia 2022 Stage 2 Highlights

[@charliedillon1400]

Great to see Dumoulin up there. Been a fan since he shat himself on the side of the road and caught back on to the race. The stuff champions do.

[@TheLemon333]

I think he shamelessly spared his chamois in time if I remember right.

[@georgehugh3455]

I think we all could identify with at least one aspect of his ride that day...and yet, inspiring.

[@JackCeverha]

Really a legendary performance! One of the most memorable giro moments for me

[@kenkaniff8428]

Do you realize that there's SOMEONE out there that would buy those shorts for money😨😂 A piece of cycling history!🤣

[@carnicer78]

this GCN commentator is really the best, he provides insightful comments, his pronunciation is understandable for non-native English speakers and he can also pronounce native names of places and athletes like he was a native, doing a very good research job

[@gcnracing]

Thank you for the kind feedback!

[@PekAndras]

Great review, thanks. Kudos for the pronunciation of the Hungarian city names.

[@petertoplak2421]

I agree! We know Hungarian names are not easy to pronounce, but the commentator did an excellent job!!!

[@danielsiapin]

Pronunciation skills was hands down the best part

[@siggi9898]

Love that Rick Zabel hammered the climb and took the KOM Points again like last year. Going to finish off the Sprint lead out for Nizzolo tomorrow in the Maglia Azzura :D

[@kenkaniff8428]

I'm not EXPECTING Cav to win tomorrow but I'm interested in seeing his form but I'm wondering how Gaviria is looking right now. I thought Ewan would be the sprinter to beat at this Giro but since he crashed I'm not sure who is the strongest/fastest right now but as I said I'm wondering how Gaviria will do. Tomorrow will give us a good look into what the sprints hold for us. Good luck with Nizzolo mate LET'S GO CAV🇬🇧🤘

[@adamarchie]

Such an exciting stage. Great performances by Yates, MVDP and Dumo. Most importantly, GC is wide open. Already shaping up to be the most interesting grand tour of the year.

[@ianism3]

[@adamarchie]

@Red Lobster Skull agreed. His legs looked decent yesterday and he's got a strong team around him.

[@kenkaniff8428]

@Red Lobster Skull yes exactly! Carapaz is looking good. That time gap is nothing for him. We have 19 stages to go! Yates is one of my TOP PICKS for the OVERALL WIN tho so he's the only one I'm concerned with that's ahead of Carapaz at this point in the race. Obviously I'd LOVE to see Ineos for the overall win but I'd also be really happy to see Yates win it. I just DON'T want to see MVDP get the overall!! He has to be stopped. Personally I don't like him. I don't even know why I don't like him, I just don't😂

[@melaniamonicacraciun9900]

What a great adventure fans, what an exciting race, when cycling is this good to reunite a whole city around a community happening, l wish cycling competitions never end. Every racer is a champion by now and they are all suuuuper awesome guys, the best riders in the world

I know he has focussed on stage 3 so we will see how his form is. It will be a glimpse into what we can expect from him. I'll be OK with it if he doesn't win stage 3, I am more concerned to see his form and his focus.

[@woutkoopman]

It's the thing that is rarely said about mvdp, but he's so good at cycling that he competes with the best at styles he doesn't train in. He never trains ITT cause he's too busy with all his other styles of cycling. Imagine if he trained specifically for ITT's for a year, he would be a serious threat at the worlds.

Froome has been non-existent the last two years it is nothing new. He had an injury already and I think his next race is Dauphine if I am not mistaken.

They time the time trials to hundredths of a second. Sobrero was slightly faster in the time trial, so he gets the higher spot in the general classification.

I've been watching him for nearly a decade now and this actually makes a fair amount of sense, Simon's clearly been focusing on, and getting better and better at TT's since it became clear he was going to be a GC guy for Bike-Exchange (Greenedge) instead of a Pure Climber. That said, he's been tagged by the UCI before, so it could be something untoward, but he's definitely been putting the work in.
