"A hellish day on the Giro d'Italia!" 👿 It was a memorable stage finish for all the wrong reasons... unless your name is Kaden Groves 😬💥

A day that will life long in the memory for all the wrong reasons, stage 5 of the 2023 Giro d'Italia was marred by multiple crashes including one in the final 100m as Mark Cavendish slid across the finish line on his side.
Kaden Groves of Alpecin-Deceuninck who himself had hit the deck earlier in the day, clearly had bounced back well as he proved to have more than enough power left in his legs as he took the first Giro d'Italia stage win of his career.
Mark Cavendish however, competing in his first bunch sprint finish of this year's Giro d'Italia, seemingly lost the back wheel as the treacherous weather conditions played their part. The British national champion flew into Filippo Fiorelli, pushing him into the barriers and then sliding across the finish line on his side.
Impressively, Cavendish still managed to place 5th in the sprint despite the fact he wasn't even up right! Chec out the drama in the video below.

- 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
