Men's Road Cycling UCI World Tour 2020 (Giro d'Italia)

[Grassmarket 4,028]

Oi oi, if you’re a fan of echelons you need to turn the TV on, Giro is completely broken up, big names all over the place just now.

 

Nibali & Almeida in front group - Majka, Fuglsang, Pozzovivo, Yates all stuck in second or third group.

 

Majka & Fuglsang get back on, Pozzovivo & Yates still distanced.

 

And lead group knock it off, everyone back in.  Could start again in a few minutes.

 

Currently riding past one of Italy’s most beautiful & historic oil storage facilities.

 

All broken up again, but this time all the GC contenders seem to be at the front.

Here we go, everyone seems to be present.

Another easy one for Demare in the end.

Demare beating everyone with two hands on his back, so to speak.

Weird sprint, it was as if Ballerini first and then Demare were the only ones who really wanted to sprint

Small talk about Demare's line, but after some replays it was pretty clear nothing was really wrong there, he was simply the best by a big margin once again.

What is the record and who is holding the record of Giro 2nd places ? Just asking to inform Sagan whether it is worth to fight for this achievement

Francesco Moser and Alfredo Binda both have 24 second places in Giro stages, but I don't think we should compare Sagan with these absolute legends just yet, especially when it comes to the Giro

I wonder if that's why he was so mediocre so far, although if that's the case, he's been going on for too long..
