Men's Road Cycling UCI World Tour 2021 (Giro d'Italia)

What the hell, Attila Valter has the white jersey and he's 5th? I know that this won't last for long, but this is still huge for Hungarian road cycling. 

The advantages of being in a succesful breakaway in the first serious stage in terms of climbing (so all the sprinters and their helpers drop down) :d 

 

And don't underestimate Valter, he has been widely seen as a big talent for quite a while now. Very strong Catalunya this year (in a very strong field) and an incredibly steady and strong Giro d'Italia last year already, 27th in the GC but more importantly, he basically didn't have any weak day at all. He might have set himself up for a top-20 finish today.

Something awesome like yesterday followed by this, that's just an outright crime against cycling humanity :lol:  Good luck finding a more boring stage even in the desert :d

These final kilometers could pose some danger though, after falling asleep all day, a sprint finish with some turns (they might have forgotten how to take turns) can be a bit dangerous for those not paying attention.

It’s the commentators I feel sorry for.  :nopompom: Bit of an insult to San Marino as well - the Italians will be punished when the Eurovision votes are counted.
 

A course profile that would win the approval of Julius Caesar himself - dead flat, dead straight. Some possibility of echelons, if there’s a wind off the sea from the North.

There's actually a statue of Caesar along the road today after roughly 130km :d

Crikey, that is the River Rubicon* itself!  Border between Cisalipine Gaul & Rome.

 

 

* Actually, nobody really knows. But Mussolini said it was that one, so that’s where they built the statues.

    • It’s simply the only skating event where jumps don’t matter, only choreography. And how much you bribe the judges matters too.
    • Can’t say I understand how scoring works in ice dance, the rest are easy to determine how good of a score based off spins during jumps

    • Not the biggest fan of figure skating especially with what has happened this season but since it’s the Olympics I guess I’m watching 
    • Czech Euroeport commentator: wow I see there only 9 pairs starting, Korea probably thought they have no chances and decided to not send a pair here, what a dumb move   omfg... I know for being a sport announcer you not need any special requirements, but I think having some basic infos about the event you are going to comment should be fine to have at least
    • Don't know if other nations' media have picked this up, but here in  the aerodynamics of ski jumping are a question.of fascination.  Or one particular aspect of it.   The World Anti-Doping Agency could investigate if evidence emerges that male ski jumpers are injecting their penises in a bid to improve sporting performance.   In January, German newspaper Bild, external reported that jumpers were injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid before being measured for their suits     https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/czej70jyg4eo
