I agree with you. Pocagar is very smart trying to provoke other rides calling them not courageous” so that the other temas pull him in limousine till the last 30 km.

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

Right. 🤔🦋👍

[@rayF4rio]

I watched the break form, sunk into a 20 min nap, the FFWD to 30 km to go. Then tuned in to Chris to see if I actually missed anything. A perfect Giro watching day!!

[@joelmichael777]

Man, that was such an amazing breakdown, Chris. It’s always amazing, but the detail with which you break things down is just incredible. I don’t think ANY other commentators go this deep. It makes the parts of the race that used to seem boring super exciting. Thanks so much!! 🙏

[@KickerzToy]

Hey Chris, Can we please applaud Amanuel Ghebregzabhier. He was animal today. To be a Super Domestic for a Sprinter is crazy.

9:08 Ineos trio. Jhonatan Narváez is undercover with national champion kit keeping G rear wheel out of troubles. 😸I think he did pretty well🦋

[@ResenPOWER]

Hey Chris, not sure if you know this but your former DS José Azevedo is now commentating for Eurosport Portugal and yesterday he spoke about you and your eating "habits" during a grand tour. I think he knew some about the whole McDonald's thing but for sure not all of it. 😂 Still he said you were always incredibly professional and although you had those habits you were always on form to race. The other commentators were losing their minds about this so I concluded that they are knuckleheads because that means they don't follow this fantastic channel! All the best 🦋

Chris Horner. Is by far the smartest strategic racer and does the best analytical breakdown of each stage. Chris, as long as Johnny Milano wins the stage it doesn't matter if a Spaniard is put into the barriers.❤😊

[@ericvonhellens8822]

2nd Hope Grobschartner heals up. UAE will need him next week. He was really slow getting up. Glad he hit the grass and not the street. Jacobson was already out of the sprint when he hit the deck, too far back. Sucks though.

Chris, I’ve really been enjoying the Butterfly Effect during this Giro. I wish you could replace one (or most 😅) of the Euro sport announcers.

[@anatithenai44]

Thanks, dude!

[@bluegoka]

Chris, on the Eurosport Portugal Stage 11 at 149km to go, José Azevedo talked about your unbelievable eating habits. Eating hamburgers, drinking a lot of Coke, having a small bag with chocolates. “But he was super professional at every level, he showed up to the races in good form and thin!”

[@Michael00000001]

😅

[@Chiller11]

Johnny Milan was an absolute beast.

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

Yes. And has been this whole Giro. That stage 2 was really impressive if you watch the time he spent in the wind. Did not get the win but he was sooo strong. 💪🦋👊

[@aglees2b]

Ben Swift was an absolute monster on the run to 3km - on the front for about 2km (with a small period of shelter).

[@aghorn]

Excellent very in-depth analysis of the sprint finish. I don't think I've ever seen one more in-depth. Thank you. But no comment on Merlier's relegation? I thought there would be one based on the thumbnail.

[@skyscraper5910]

it would be really helpful to include the stage numbers and race in the titles. it helps keep track of where we are in the giro and esp for people who want to go back adn see these videos in the future

[@philipkoop9411]

OK Chris, Cyclingnews is still droning on about this, so you ought to say something about this shocking "controversy" that a guy would show up at a bike race and try to win as much as he can. As you can tell, I think this is the dumbest thing ever, so if you disagree, I'd love to hear why. And look, I get that a well-judged gift can pay dividends later. And I get that if he wants to win the Tour, Pogačar has to be smart about spending energy. But that's not what they're talking about; they seem to think that Pogačar should avoid winning out of politeness or something. Come on!

[@alpsalish]

Droning on in what regard?

[@ashifo07]

They want him to 'gift' a stage to Ineos ! Always complaining .

[@alpsalish]

@@ashifo07 I have also seen articles on cycling news that state this is how racing is now including conversation with former racers and ds's. It isn't about bargaining stages anymore. It is just about winning and they make reference to other sports where the mentality has changed as well. Running up the score is no longer the slight it used to be.

[@Flakey101]

How will it pay dividends later. I am curious about people keep saying that but another team never helps a team out unless it mutually benificial.

Jasper needs a literal ban. Such a dirty sprinter. He’s gonna kill someone if they let him get away with what he got away with at last years tour

We all did. Final they got it right today. 🦋👍

[@diggsfather]

[@Cepheide78]

Hello Chris! One interesting thing to look at here... Caleb Ewan. A few days ago, you made a video about him complaining that his team wasn’t helping him. For years (at Lotto) he has not won and repeats this, it is not his fault, it is that of his team. I do not agree with that, I am tired of this rider and yet I liked him. Today it is still a perfect example; his team does a good job but he is not up to it. He has a good train, but when Mezgec launches his sprint, Caleb is no longer in his wheel... And why? Because at one point he makes the wrong choice (we can clearly see it on the video) to leave his teammate’s wheel and follow someone else. This was already the case at Lotto, I saw exactly the same situation too many times. I don’t know what’s wrong with him, it’s too bad...

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

The sprints are so crazy, you only get a split second to decide how you will play it out. Caleb doesn’t seem to have his normal duck and dive abilities so far here. Hopefully he finds that soon. 🤷🏼‍♂️🦋🤞👍

[@NightShooter87]

He was a great sprinter about 3 or 4 yrs ago, but sprinters can lose confidence, he maybe needs help getting his mindset right.

[@michaelbergfeld8751]

I don't think Pog. should worry loosing a few seconds that way to Thomas. He saves his energy he invests better. Thomas will never beat him unless he has serious problems.

[@gershwinvanniekerk7712]

Knucklehead!!!!

[@thecellulontriptometer4166]

I have to wonder how teams train for the bump and jostling of sprint finishes? It just seems like some riders always get pushed around while others are able to move others out of the way to get to their spots. Some of it is size and strength, but not all. To me it looks like something teams can train for if for no other reason than to keep their team safer by knowing how to deal with a hard bump without losing control.

[@dennismwallentin296]

Milan reminds me of Tom Boonen in his young years!

[@ofeykalakar1]

Tiberi already beat GT a few weeks back into third place at tour of the alps. A few years earlier he was the world ITT Junior champion. I’m calling him to repeat his podium finish into 3rd in Rome.

[@joelronningen9930]

Seriously though Chris - if there was a split, how many seconds could Tadej lose? How many is he already ahead, and how many is he likely to gain in future mountain stages? Is that really worth the risk of possibly ending his season with a crash in the argy-bargy? Does he really HAVE to? Or is Pogy a bit impetuous and rash, which may cost him dearly, much as we love to watch it?

[@bjohns10]

[@GeekonaBike]

Why are all the cars right up on the back of the pack when they hit 200m?

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

The team cars will deviate, but the officials car will follow behind the group thru the finish line often. 🤔🦋👍

[@bg147]

Alaphilippe wasn't that angry today. Yet, you should still make a video... 'What's Eating Monsieur Alaphilippe?"

[@TheMrbrookster]

I not sure but it looks like the nature of sprinting has changed a bit, where the big guys, not just the sprinter but also their lead out assert their position at the front by bumping other teams lead out. I know Sagan used to get a bit of flak for pushing his way to the front, but now it looks like the whole team pushes their way to the front. Not just a wee bump to hold their line a big bump to disrupt their opponents?

[@Michael00000001]

If you watched Tour de France in the late 90ies or 20xx when teams were allowed to have 10 riders this sprinter trains were pretty common. Nowadays teams are smaller, flat stages have been massively reduced, and there are more stronger break-away riders + technical improvements (aerodynamics, tactical radio advice etc.). This Giro is an exception with more flat stages than usual and teams solely focused on sprints.

[@AshKetchhum]

I think after this stage it proves that Caleb might be done. The whole excuse about not having a good lead-out train is out the window. Milan was surfing wheels from 1k to go and won. Caleb didn’t even fight for 4th just like the other stages he gives up before the finish line. I think the hunger for winning stages is gone. Eventually the team will catch to that and think twice working for him in other stages.

[@kokonanana1]

Should G ask Chris for advice as an older Grand Tour Winner?

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

Absolutely 😜🦋👊

[@TopgunB]

Chris besides the last 10 km this was a snooze stage. The whole philosophy of Tadej Pogacar sharing the pie and letting breakaways win due to peer pressure does mot sit well with fans and does not seem to sit well with Pog either. He seems genuinely annoyed that pressure was applied on him by his fellow riders. Juicy stuff this needs your informed comment methinks?So when Paret-Peintre wins I am thinking he only won because of peer pressure in the Peleton and Pog shakes the winners hand unenthsiastically and very unPog like.

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

I like that topic. 🤔🦋👊

[@kaj4501]

I think it's ridiculous, as if Tadej and his team have the energy and willpower to control every stage. It's a mind game. We all know how to get out of this trap. Force UAE on the front, attack him when his team is out the back. Otherwise, let many riders get up the road and force UAE to close caps/ride on the front. Be smart(er). I'd say it's mostly the other teams fault that Tadej gets into a position(easy ride up to 50k) where he can dominate like no other.
