With just over 3km to go on stage 2 of the Giro d'Italia, the race was brought into chaos by a major crash that saw the stage win hopes of many, most notably Mark Cavendish, brought to an end.
As the road narrowed and tension began to raise in the peloton, something had to give. Sadly for the likes of Cavendish, Martijn Tusveld and Daan Hoole among many others, a brutal crash was what broke the tension of the race.

It wasn't just the fast men with hopes of victory that were affected either as because the crash happened just a few hundred metres before the 3km to go banner, time gaps for any and all general classification riders caught up in the melee provided extra chaos to the final run-in. Most notable of the riders to lose time in the GC was Tao Geoghegan Hart although his teammate Geraint Thomas crossed safely in the front bunch alongside race leader Remco Evenepoel.
The stage was eventually won by Bahrain - Victorious's Jonathan Milan. Watch the video below though to see the chaos unfold in the kilometres before the final sprint.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
