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) 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.

heywoodu 13,536 Posted May 12, 2021 #44 Share Posted May 12, 2021 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.

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.

Border between Cisalipine Gaul & Rome. * Actually, nobody really knows. But Mussolini said it was that one, so that’s where they built the statues.
