2022 Giro d’Italia, Stage 4 – Kamna is the strongest from the breakaway!

Posted on May 10, 2022May 10, 2022 by tpl

Stage 4 Results General Classification Standings As previewed yesterday, Lennard Kamna really ended up winning today’s stage. He beat Juan Pedro Lopez in a two man sprint that propelled the latter to the pink jersey. It will be interesting to see Trek Segafredo’s approach from now on with Lopez in the race lead. It only…

2022 Giro d’Italia – Etna Preview

Posted on May 9, 2022 by tpl

General classification Etna. Seemingly the organizers’ favorite climb, it has been featured four times in the last six years (including 2022). All stages have been won by the breakaway during this period: in 2017 and 2020 Jan Polanc and Jonathan Caicedo claim the win. In 2018, a rider from the breakaway (Johan Esteban Chavez) also…

2022 Giro d’Italia, Stage 3 – Cav is (still) here!

Posted on May 8, 2022May 10, 2022 by tpl

The Giro is alternating predictable and surprising endings. After a winner nobody expected on yesterday’s stage, we’re back to unsurprising conclusions, with Mark Cavendish taking the 16th stage of his career at the Giro. Samuele Rivi (Eolo Kometa) and Mattia Bais (Drone Hopper – Androni Giocattoli) composed the daily breakaway and were caught with 28km…

Giro, Stage 2 – Yates wins the TT

Posted on May 7, 2022May 10, 2022 by tpl

Stage 2 Results Wow! After a predictable finish on stage 1 we got an incredible surprise today. I will even concede that Yates, at times, has shown to be able to defend himself reasonably well in TTs (TTs). Better than most people (me included) usually consider. But this is the same rider that lost 3m23s…

2022 Giro, Stage 1 – Van Der Poel in pink!

Posted on May 6, 2022May 10, 2022 by tpl

Stage 1 Results Well, no surprises here. Mathieu Van Der Poel is the first pink jersey of the 2022 Giro d’Italia. The race unfolded pretty much as predicted. An early breakaway was caught with just under 15km to the checkered flag as the peloton rolled up to the final climb. There some riders tried their…

2022 Giro d’Italia – Stage 1 Preview

Posted on May 6, 2022May 6, 2022 by tpl

This is the first time since 2017 that the Giro doesn’t begin with a time trial. At first, I thought that the Italian Grand Tour saw how spectacular the Tour’s first week was last year and was trying to emulate it. But when I noticed that they placed a time trial on stage 2 I…

2022 Giro d’Italia – Top 10 Favorites

Posted on May 5, 2022May 6, 2022 by tpl

Juan Pedro Lopez (Trek Segafredo) This certainly is the most controversial pick. Here’s my logic: Giulio Ciccone hasn’t finished a Grand Tour (GT) in nearly 3 years. Bauke Mollema hasn’t competed for the general classification (GC) of a GT in exactly 3 years. I think both of these riders will fight for objectives other than…

2022 Giro d’Italia Startlist Groupama FDJ Much like Bora, Groupama FDJ’s leader for the Giro is looking to get back to his winning ways. In fact, both Arnaud Démare and Attila Valter will be looking to replicate their performances from 2020 and 2021, respectively. The 2020 Giro marked simultaneously the peak and the end of…
