Is this the most brutal time trial in Grand Tour history? At 18.5km in length, it’s the shortest of the three TTs at this year’s Giro, but the final 7.4km to Monte Lussari are hellish. The climb averages 11.7%, with sections of up to 25%! Will we see another change in the maglia rosa?

Pretty poor coverage time gap wise. Compared to what we see at the Tour it looked amateur
Thats the beauty of Giro you didnt predict who gonna win because of that time trial.
Am sorry for Thomas,that was heartbreaking,it was the most brutal time trial profile in Grand tour history
0:18 why so heavy ? cant they get it to 7 or less ?
‘Super light’ £10k+ climbing bike in 2023 optimised to the last detail = 7.36kg, almost half kilo over the weight limit 😂
Crazy !
Not happy by this.
First two weeks were terrible, but this last week was incredible. Two great champions fighting it out to the last second. Gritty win by Roglic.
Not surprised Roglic won with that tiny gear plus the push up the steep bit. Is this the start of bike swaps to mountain bike gears to nullify all mountain stages in future?
Who needs legs when you can buy technical aids.
Broke my heart G. Chapeau to Rog, a memorable win and redemption for '20.
Roglic is the NO.2 cyclist in the world. Pogacar is NO.1… GO SLOVENIA… also the land of Luka Doncic, Goran Dragic and Anze Kopitar of the Los Angeles Kings !!!
Very smart move from Team Jumbo for Roglic to use 1x drivetrain, I guess its best for him to spin faster in that specific climb than to grind the gear of traditional drivetrain. Joao and specially Geraint are very classy opponent.
Hollywood finish….. How about same as Cadel Evans vs Andy Schleck at the 2011 Tour!
Changing bikes in a TT. It is all so gear heavy stuff nowadays. Make a cheap standard UCI race bike which almost everybody can effort to buy and race all UCI races with it.
Hats off to Primoz, but also to the USA for putting 4 Americans in the top 25, and 2 in the top 7. Only other country to have as many in the top 25 was Italy, the host country. It's a new era in USA cycling, here's seeing what can happen in the Tour. 🏆
Was rooting for Rogla all the way but I had to accept the possibility that Thomas would win. After the mechanical, everything seemed lost in dramatic fashion, once again. Total heartbreak. What happened then was absolutely legendary by Roglic. Not only did he make up for the mechanical, he was dominant from that point. Shout out to all the Slovenian fans and other fans pushing him up that mountain. All-time classic performance
Wow! What a time trial. Congratulations, Roglic.
cheered to Geraint … sad he could not get the pink jersey …
ただイギリス人の優勝を阻止したのが嬉しい。
それとピナレロのうチームよりはCerveloチームの優勝が嬉しい
greaint should race today!
Soft pedaling to keep the sport legitimate if you can take 40 seconds in a stage you can take 5min on the Giro.. especially with this team😂
What a epic moment from primoz
I think Rolgic wasnt attacking in the last week, because he was saving a bit for that TT. Nailed it.
Guys, one question, if there's another stage yet to race how do they know who won already? What if they have some problem during the stage?
Best regards!
Music please?
Very thrilling indeed!
Roglic using an illegal riding position at 2:07. Twenty second time penalty should be applied.
in the meantime
celtics made a geat comeback too!
Viva lá giro
Zmaga na nasih cestah
WE ARE PROUD TO BE SLOVENIANS
Prime opportunity for GCN does science. Give olly a 34 tooth chain ring then a 42 and see how much quicker he goes up that climb.
Amazing finish!
My 2c. Riders should not have been permitted to change helmets on course. This was done under time pressure and when the rider was fatigued. The strap buckle may not have been properly secured. Other adjustments such as the harness may not have been done.
The least peppy the commentator has been in a while – couldn’t mask his nationalistic disappointment 😅
The giro is a terrific race but it's not what it should be without Stelvio!!!!
1000% if GT jumped on his old 2018 TDF bike with 1000g tubulars he would have won the Giro instead of LOSING IT BY 14 SECONDS!!
What happened to marginal gains?? Why was he on a GRAVEL BIKE FOR THE CLIMB???
Disc brakes on a TT bike?????
Sepp taking the 6th! Nice.
Almeida’s face after Primoz finished
was totally out of service on a mountain for three days, came straight to you guy's for the results. could just hug ya. your non spoiler approach is awesome
What a stage besides the outcome. Well done Giro
In 2019 Giro Roglic received a 10 second penalty for a push, if this was a fan why no penalty this time? Just asking….
whose idea was to change helmet? that's like 10s right there
Uphill TT seems to be Roglic’s greatest weakness. At least this time it didn’t cost him the victory.
Another Dejavu from last year's Stage 20 Giro where Hindley steals the title from Team Ineos Carapaz.
