@@shepshape2585 actually I disagree. Pog has been riding hard while Ganna more rested, Also Ganna specializes in flatter time trials Pog would have no chance sorry., Lets not forget who holds the World hour record. ; ) He has the highest power numbers in time trial history he is a BEAST!! yes he does suffer in time trials with hills but flat he is untouchable right now. Pog is great but not the greatest at everything just like sprinting flat TT's are for the specialists. That is the beauty of cycling certain riders will dominate certain races.
@@lucianoserafino5872 Disagree all you want. Perhaps you didn’t see the first time trial when Pog smoked Ganna because it mattered. Today didn’t matter, plus tomorrow is the hardest stage of the race. I don’t care if the course is hilly or flat or in outer space, Tadej has the best legs in the world. The only reason Pog doesn’t have the hour record is because he’s never tried it. Why would he? He wants yellow jerseys, not silly records.
@@shepshape2585 Pog was racing against the GC contenders, not Ganna, so his priority was not winning the stage. But it's foolish to think that he gave the stage away to Ganna, because winning the TT would automatically put more time between Pog and his rivals. In the end, I think Pog was pleased with the outcome. That being said, Pog not coming in first was likely the result of a flat TT favoring Ganna, in addition to Ganna pushing himself and Pog letting up a bit over the second half of the route. Pog was up on Ganna by a few seconds at the first time check due to a short climb that favors Pog, but the rest of the TT was Ganna's specialty. Pog lost time over that stretch. His team car was also likely giving him time checks and letting him know he was safely up on his GC rivals, so he didn't need to ride aggressively. Even with the stage favoring Ganna and Pog not pushing himself too hard, he still almost won. If this has been the last stage of the race, Pog would have likely pushed himself harder. In that case, I would put his odds of beating Ganna at more than 50%.
@jooohan Carlos Sastre was also a lousy time trialist. Michael Rasmussen would have been a TdF winner had he not been such a bad bike handler on the TT bike and simply just been slow in TTs. His TTs were a sight to see😂
G is an old school rider. He gets better as he 3rd week hits and he doesn't panic. He knows what he can do and he just does it. He can't put on sudden attacks but when he is attacked he can almost always pull himself slowly back. He just relies on his training and his strengths and what he knows. That is his strength 🤘🏻🏴
@@samm7876 I get cursed out every time I bring this up😂. I have done what not many people are willing to do and that is RESEARCH!! I've looked into how doping is done and how the testing protocols are flawed. It's not hard to see this is not an "all natural" display😉 🤘🏻🏴
Ganna is so good in the ITT, so for TP to beat him and finish 29s behind him on this stage shows just how strong TP is too. A fantastic stage to watch.
@@tommyrq180 I would say it's to deflect air flow away from legs. The legs are the part that cause the most air flow resistance!!! It's not even the head that causes that much resistance. It's the legs so that ferring is most likely to deflect air from getting wrapped up in the legs. The shoulders, helmet and position on bike takes care of the torso and the torso causes almost zero resistance 🤘🏻🏴
At 2:34, Sheffield’s wheel slipped out from under him as he was going over the paint. Could the grip be much worse on the paint? It’s sad because I think he could have challenged Ganna’s time.
Yes, it could have been paint with rain on it😂 Gotta take risks in the turns if you want a shot at being close to Ganna as Ganna is outstanding at carrying speed in and out of turns on top of being superb in the straightaways
If you watch in slow motion he was leaning a bit too much and while in that angle he slightly turned his front wheel and that was it. Down he went. It was just before his front wheel was in the paint 🤘🏻🏴
Do the research like I did. It's easily available and quite simple. I researched HOW they are doping and how the testing protocols are flawed.

It looks like it catches some of the wind and pushes it over the shoulder area to create to reduce the air turbulence that would have been created by sharp edges where the front visor ends if this faring did not exist.

A personally bittersweet time trial. I think that a rider with Pipo Ganna's potential has the conditions to do more than just win times. Last season he was 2nd in San Remo, 6th in Paris-Roubaix and won the La Vuelta time trial defeating Remco and Roglič. The difference between Los Slovenos, Vingegaard, and Remco is that they are good in the time trial and fight for the general classification. They have much more merit. This year Pipo did not appear at Los Monumento and he is not a one and three week runner either. For me he could be a Domoulin 2.0... TT World Champion, Giro Winner, 2nd in the Tour. I hope Felipe Martínez, Ben O'Connor, Antonio Tiberi, Filipo Zanna beat "G" Thomas in Livigno tomorrow because I have not liked at all since the Prati di Tivo stage the psychological game that the Welshman has played against Tadej Pogačar and his supposed enmity with the platoon. Trash
You know what's boring? Mountain stages where the finish is entirely predictable. At least TTs mix things up a bit. Glad to see GT make up enough time to move into second place on the podium.
I'm trying to spot this "bra" (rule 28 undergarment) on Pogi. They say it is ar has been used by him and it saves 2-7 watts. Sometimes I think I see it and other times I can't tell 🤘🏻🏴
Imagine dropping the world’s best climbers. Imagine riding off the front of a bunch in the closing KM of a sprint stage. Imagine almost being as good as arguably the world’s best tester. I’m not “believing” it. Not at all. The truth will out. It always does.

TTTs are awful, and I'm glad they are being phased out. They're unfair to teams who have lost riders due to crashes and illness, and don't reflect individual effort in a race where every rider's time is taken individually. That being said, if the Giro had included a TTT, UAE would have used a team composition that reflected its inclusion.
Pogacar has no competition here. No wva no vingegaard no roglic no Remco no one After tomorrow will he cruise rest of giro or try to win more giro stages. B c at tour there will be there vingegaard and wva, those two are coming. Roglic too
Rog is a joke. He's at Geraint's level right now-old, slow, capable of decent performances but nowhere near as good as he was a few years ago when Pog crushed him in the TDF. He's a domestique, nothing more. Ving is not going to be 100% if he even enters the TDF. He's missed out on weeks of training and his injuries will make him more cautious. If I were his team leader I would hold him back for the Vuelta, where he might at least be competitive. Wout is aging like Rog, and he was never a GC contender to begin with. He's good at a lot of things but doesn't excel at any of them now, especially compared to the young specialists and all-rounders making their marks. There's literally only one stage profile he can possibly win (moderate mountain with a flat finish, relying on sprinters falling off during the climbs) and those aren't very common. Pog has only grown stronger and more disciplined, with higher stamina. Pog isn't wasting energy grabbing bonus seconds here and there anymore, which was really his last weakness to overcome.
In every story you need stretches of calm to set up the action pieces. Pacing is important. Action every second is tiresome and just as boring as a performance where nothing happens.
Not to take anything away from Ganna, but Tadej rode that stage very smart. He could have won this stage, but tomorrow is the hardest stage in the race and why burn your legs out prior to that? He still managed to put more distance between himself and Thomas and Martinez, and they have no chance of catching him.
Seems to me he started soft pedaling in the second half to "allow" Ganna the win. Heard the pressure on them to let other teams get some of the crumbs.
@@oldtwinsna8347 If you have a chance to win, you take it. No professional cycling team is in the habit of letting other teams get "crumbs" just for the sake of being nice. Victories mean sponsorships which means $$$, and nobody is going to just throw money away like that. Pog was instructed to rest. Not to let Ganna win, but to give Pog a better chance of winning tomorrow with fresh legs. Why push yourself into the red for a few seconds in a TT if that puts you at risk for losing minutes on a brutal stage the next day? It was a smart choice by UAE-and even while resting his legs, Pog almost won.

Only good stages are these time trials! No-one want to watch sprint finnishes! Time trials only stages how we can calculeted how good these over-rated cyclists are! Jacques Anquetil rode weak poor hour record 46159 meters in 1957! Long distance runners were better! Kuts run 13:35 5000 meters in 1957! Kuts closer 46,8km! Doping cyclist Franseco Moser build better bike than others and rode weak hour record 51151 meters in 1984! If Moser was a 10000 meter runner the result 27:45 and World recird

Whats with the cheek flaps Ineos? That really is marginal gains.
those little ferrings under the eyes are to deflect the air flow from the legs. The legs cause the most resistance against the wind. It's not even the head funnily enough

Why two individual TT this year? The most boring Giro in years.

PEDALARE GANNA
VAI VAI VAI
I love the giro but hate the course this year,2 time trials.yuck
Only good stages are these time trials! No-one want to watch sprint finnishes! Time trials only stages how we can calculeted how good these over-rated cyclists are! Jacques Anquetil rode weak poor hour record 46159 meters in 1957! Long distance runners were better! Kuts run 13:35 5000 meters in 1957! Kuts closer 46,8km! Doping cyclist Franseco Moser build better bike than others and rode weak hour record 51151 meters in 1984! If Moser was a 10000 meter runner the result 27:45 and World recird
And World record was 27:13! i watch only time trials not boring slow 200km bunch race! Time trial tells the truth who is clearly the Best rider!
If poo won it he would have got tested and came out positive on some new drug's 😂😂😂
I've researched HOW they are doping and how the testing protocols are flawed and it's not hard to figure out. Plus there are new ways to circumvent the testing and new formulas. They are getting away with it FOR NOW!!!😉
