I haven’t felt this educated by US riders in a while. Tokyo was probably the first time I had optimism watching Olympic cycling from an American perspective. Yeah, everyone seems trapped in super-domestique roles at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,552 Posted May 27, 2023 #197 Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) Fun to rewatch this, Dutch commentator on Eurosport going mad at the moment the last split is known (Thomas 29 seconds behind Roglic and so basically decided), English commentators on Eurosport had no idea about the differences, seemed mostly oblivious to what was actually going on and kept with the default English Eurosport thing of "he is sufferent, he is now rrrrrrreally pushing hard!" What a final ride, damn. It doesn't make up for the near-total lack of action in this Giro overall of course, but at least - at long last - there were a few edge-of-the-seat minutes at the very end, what a finish Spoiler Only negative about this is that the organizers now think "omg this was fantastic, we will keep a course like this for the next years as well, look at how exciting and close it was!".

McNulty will absolutely get his chance though. Almeida isn't going to do every GC and Vine seems to be barely capable of riding in a straight line (so great at climbing, but a massive danger in anything else). McNulty is a potential GC podium rider.
