💗 Giro d'Italia 2022 - Stage 1️⃣1️⃣ | Tappa 1️⃣1️⃣ 🥇 🇮🇹 @alberto_dainese wins in Reggio Emilia! 🥇 🇮🇹 @alberto_dainese vince a Reggio Emilia! #Giro @TeamDSM
Team DSM are having a very successful Giro d'Italia as today they have brought in a strong stage win, as Alberto Dainese surprised to take the win in Reggio Emilia in what was a mightily impressive sprint.
Despite the tailwind on the day, very few riders showed willpower to spend a long day out in the day's breakaway, which led to a very calm start. Luca Rastelli (Bardiani-CSF-Faizanè) and Filippo Tagliani (Drone Hopper - Androni Giocattoli) took up the responsabilities, but were caught with 92 kilometers to go.
That was because INEOS Grenadiers pushed the pace to go for the three bonus seconds at the intermediate sprint, which Richard Carapaz grabbed. Dries de Bondt attacked with 58 kilometers to go and tried to elude the peloton. His efforts were valiant, but the Belgian 's efforts only resisted until the entrance to the final kilometer.
Groupama - FDJ and Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team took the head of the peloton in the last few meters, and Démare launched his sprint early on alongside Fernando Gaviria. Reward came to those who launched their bid to the line late, as Alberto Dainese carried a lot of speed from behind to take the biggest win of his career so far.
Dainese beat Fernando Gaviria and Simone Consonni to the line, with the peloton arriving safely to the finish.

- I don't think it's only a British thing; the biggest talents aren't usually drawn to CX. Where are all the top Italian, French, Spanish, Slovenian CX riders? Apart from Belgium, and Netherlands, it's not really a target for up and coming cyclists - as there's no career unless you move to Belgium. Other countries can't support a proper professional series, like an international sport should be able to do. Lets not forget, since 2016, British riders have won plenty of World championships; with Pidcock, Richards, Tulett & Backstedt all winning more than one..... And, there was a time when Belgium didn't rule the roost in CX; that was Switzerland, but since the advent of XC MTB, their top off-road talents race there instead of CX - and the 2nd raters not good enough for XC MTB, race CX.wipperman9519-12-2024
- "25-34 are only 13% of USA Cyclings membership" Wow. I own a bike shop, and that number comports both with what I see in the business as well as on the road and trails, but it's somehow hugely demoralizing to see it quantified. Thirteen percent?verve82519-12-2024

ChoppyWarburton18-12-2024 - The bike industry situation is the same as the future Dutch talent pool discussion , it’s a fakely perceived problem due to an exceptional period that’s come to an end.Mistermaumau18-12-2024
- It's all a part of the fun. Sometimes it takes a few races before you can tell who's who and what's going on.
santiagobenites18-12-2024 - Every year cycling teams force their fans to memorize the jersey colors of all the teams so you can tell which team is doing what in a race. Not like normal sports where the jersey's and numbers mostly stay the same year after year.Sweep18-12-2024
