The Giro d'Italia has exploded this morning but it was outside the peloton. Teams and organizers entered a clash over how stage 16 would be raced because of the extreme weather conditions, under snow and freezing temperatures... But some riders still made the best out of a morning in the snow.
A few videos emerged from the peloton after a morning that was nothing but chaotic. Until just minutes ago, the riders did not know where they would start the stage and in what conditions. Ultimately it was decided on a an alternative route and neutralized ride through a large tunnel and into a town that came after the Umbrailpass.
However after learning about this and the delayed start to the stage, a few riders were in good spirits. That was the case with Tadej Pogacar and Geraint Thomas. The latter specially made fun of the weather situation calling it "just like home" (in Wales). Not all riders' spirits were broken from a morning spent out in the freezing temperatures in Livigno.

- 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
