Giro d'Italia 2023 KOM classification | Thibaut Pinot returns to Grand Tour podium with ambitious breakaway hunting
CyclingSunday, 28 May 2023 at 20:50
The KOM classification was a heavily battled classification at the Giro d'Italia, with the final week proving decisive. Besides a fifth place in the overall classification, Thibaut Pinot has succeeded and climbed to the podium for the first time at the end of a Giro.
The Frenchman has ridden into breakaway on stages 13 and 19, high mountain days, where he scored plenty points for the classification and finished second in both. He has had the ambition from the first week where he picked up many important points early on, and then took advantage of these breakaways and smart racing to grab the jersey. Tao Geoghegan Hart, Paul Lapeira, Davide Bais and Ben Healy also wore it, and the Frenchman himself lost it twice before definitely jumping to the lead on stage 19.

- Oh, so now you know Pog better than he knows himself? Saying that when at the same time you can see an article quoting Pog saying “sometimes I don’t know why I attack” and not ever analysing emotions as men tend to is really rather naive and reductive. Hardly worth wasting our planet’s energy and ressources for. How about elevating the discussion to think over things a bit deeper?Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- They couldn’t convict him criminally because he paid up to escape it (that weird American possibility that ensures not all are equal before the law). He was convicted civilly but technically for committing crime. I on the other hand live in a country where unexplained damage to a baby in your care in theory leads to minimum 5 years of prison, if you admit an accident it’s more lenient but telling the truth that you don’t know how a bump on the skull happened exposes you to the as much risk as some who murder and rape. The developed world doesn’t deserve that designationMistermaumau20-11-2024
- Doesn’t deserve criticism considering all he won with all the crashes plus how close he got to a TdF (Pog had luck). If Pog and Jonas battle and wipe each other out we have Remco and Primoz to put on a show.Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- Agreed. Until he can stay upright on his bike, he’s at best an incomplete for a grade. That doesn’t mean that on his best form he can’t win it all. We just haven’t seen it.mij20-11-2024
