yeah, so when we don't have the big guns like Vingegaard, Evenepoel or Pogacar, the cycling races are as boring as they used to be a few years back. Very few attacks between the GC contenders, only in the last km or so, small gaps as well. This is just a remider that we live special times and we should be very grateful to have these three big talents in the sport!
With a few very minor exceptions, it has been a very boring Giro for the GC fight.
Luckily there is riders like Gee and Pinaut which deliver outstanding performances and drama.
Cannot wait to see these guys TT up the mountains.
GT is in total control!!!

Derek Gee with a big β€.
This is one of the most unexciting races in modern times. Almost on par with the 2012 tdf. Nice scenery though
How many do you think are on the juice?

Perhaps worried about the TT climb, but nothing happened in the GC race.

Wish to see pogacar fighting with them
they didnt even show Gee who got second? Complete garbage coverage

Best of. Best
Primoz riding gravel gears. I was not expecting that.
This remains so exciting. Thank you, Carlton Kirby, for excellent reporting!
Honestly…This Giro was boring. The old amazing men can't distance each other. It's been stale in the GC battle, this was a breakaway Giro π€·
This perfectly shows why people think cycling is boring. It's like a cooler golf.
Cycling desperately needs WVA, Pog, Evenepoel and MVDP. These young men always electrify the races they are in.
I like the idea of using a bike with huge gears for a really steep stage.
