Giro d'Italia reverses decision, Geoghegan Hart starts stage 2 as KOM leader after organizers confirm error in Brandon McNulty's timer

There was some controversy at the Giro d'Italia yesterday regarding the KOM classification. The fastest rider up the final hilltop to the finish was set to receive the maximum points and jersey, but the wrong rider stepped onto the podium. Brandon McNulty was initially awarded the points but the decision has now been reversed.
This is because the transponder on the American's bike had an error at some point within the first intermediate split. Analyzing split times and the UAE Team Emirates' Strava activity it was possible to see that he hadn't been the quicker in the final ascent. This mistake was captured yesterday but the podium celebrations had already taken place.
This morning however the decision has been overturned, Tao Geoghegan Hart will instead start with the KOM jersey as the times of Brandon McNulty were confirmed to be wrong. This does not change the overall classification or stage result as it was a technological mistake.

- 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
