We have the big 2 Roglic and Evenepoel, then another 2-3 that are a few steps below them and then a bunch of question marks in what their role will be. At least with Roglic and Evenepoel, two of the four big GC riders of this moment are present, which - if they don't run into trouble - at least increases the chance of not having another winner like Jai Hindley of all places ahead of some have-beens Nothing against Hindley, but yeah...that's a bit of an outlier in the list of recent GC winners (although not more so than Geoghegan Hart arguably).

dodge 697 Posted May 6, 2023 #12 Share Posted May 6, 2023 2020 was clearly the biggest freak result. The race overlapped with the Vuelta To be fair to Hindley, he was second in that 2020 race, so his win in 2022 had at least some previous form. Last Carapaz was a huge favourite with Almeida and maybe Simon Yates behind him. 2 of them didn’t finish the race but I wouldn’t say any giro field has been stacked by big GC contenders in recent years This year it has two genuine top class riders but the likes of Almeida, Vlasov, Carthy, Geoghegan Hart, Thomas (3rd in TDF last year) are all very, very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,540 Posted May 7, 2023 #19 Share Posted May 7, 2023 As expected with a stage like this: absolutely nothing happening until the last few kilometers. And then a big crash, with some riders being hit fairly hard and a lady in the audience making a nasty fall as well. Hopefully everyone is alright.
