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

[Dunadan 1,103]

Indeed, races should only be held in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, all almost covid free thanks to their self-disciplines. Let's just scrap races in this mafia driven country , I'm boycotting them and watching Paris-Roubaix

Looks like the peloton have not given this one up.  Lots of short steep climbs to come.  36k to go.

Peloton definitely think this is not going much further - all action now.

 

Little-known Slovenian Slovakian Giro debutant Peter Sagan chasing a breakaway win.

Fuglsang the big loser, loses lots of time after a late puncture & bike change.

Well, if you can't beat them on the sprints, do it on the climbs

I've seen a lot of Sagan wins, obviously, but holy cow this was one of his very best bits of cycling ever. Maybe Vlaanderen 2016 is above it, but that's about it. What a ride.

@Gianlu33 @Dunadan Any idea what's up with the train driving next to the peloton? The Dutch commentator duo has been wondering about it for over an hour now

Well, road cycling is hardly a spectator sport. They have to work around that.

Oh I'm enjoying the marvelous commentary of Karsten Kroon and his co-host, the first 60km today was a mix of talking about this train and about which Dutch cookie they'd get in their snack bag today - the other co-host is Belgian and doesn't know most of them, apparently. Also, the Belgian guy said it was good Kroon's newborn baby has her mom's eyes, "because they are so beautiful", leading to a nice bit of awkwardness.

Demare once again kicks sand in everyone else’s faces.
