Stage 1 of the 2024 Giro d'Italia ends in Torino and it was already a day for the classics riders and climbers to be the favourites, but even more so now. A very difficult climb has been added to the finale of the opening day of the Corsa Rosa, with Tadej Pogacar likely becoming the overwhelming favourite to win the first stage.
The finale features the ascent to Colle Maddalena which is 6.1Km at 7.4% ending with 22 kilometers to go, but another obstacle has been added on the way into the city. A steep one where attacks are expected and GC differences are likely - with stage 2 featuring immediately a summit finish at Monte Oropa.
The added ascent is 1.5 kilometers long at almost 10%, the San Vito hilltop summits with only 3 kilometers to go and will certainly see winning moves as the way into the finish is almost exclusively downhill from there on.

- Does everything need to have a point? If so, 99% of the internet should be wiped away. In relation to recent articles with quotes from other riders, my statement points to the ever more obvious reason why they are asked to comment on the effect of his return.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
