Jonas told Sepp he would win 🥰 Filling someone with confidence and belief like that is a superpower.

Lovely video announcing Demi's extension to 2028 with FDJ United - Suez. I do hope it wasn't made by AI. www.instagram.com/reel/DY7bMUN...

Hey Visma? Let Cicco have his pretty blue jersey in peace tomorrow okay? Just let him take enough points to keep it and don't actively try to do the opposite. 🙏🏻 That way you can definitely enjoy your Italian afterparty without worries as well. 😅

Ciccone on Rubio trying to sprint for the KoM points and the intermediate time bonuses: "a move by a small rider", says the anger gave him more energy 🌶️

You know someone is winning when their partner/parents are waiting at the finish

The Grand Tour triple for Sepp Kuss 🇺🇸🤩🩷💛❤️ Only the second American to do so after Tyler Farrar 👏

Rubio pissed Ciccone off, Kuss is about to ruin his day...

I wonder if Eulalio would have even ridden GC if he didn't get pink and subsequently white. It's huge for him and Bahrain to see what he's capable of though.

'Tactically, we are petty'

Oh Giulio 🤣

Olav Kooij (Decathlon-CMA CGM) wins his first sprint after being sidelined with injury all season and resuming racing this week

Shards of rock, rising Riders pushing the limits Immortality #GiroHaiku

Bloody hell 😶

Milesi could get a huge contract because of this Giro. Easily MVP alongside a few others. For a TT boy he's a really strong climber.

the passo duran duran cause giulio ciccone is hungry like the wolf

Days like today I really wish ITV had Giro rights

Caleb Ewan on Milan's 'drop off': "I had it myself in my career. I dropped off really quickly. You can't explain it. I can't explain it. I look back on it and I don't how I went from as good as I was to as bad as I was in the end. It's frustrating when you're trying to find the answers".

In theory, Milan might have the highest peak power, but without a lead out he's pretty useless. Stuyven proving essential once again and just a perfect lead out in most scenarios. On paper, Magnier has dominated. In reality, no other teams got close to Quick Step. Aside from the Naples sprint.

That might be the first time we've ever seen Groenewegen be part of the lead out for someone else. Good team player for Kubis.

You know you're too deep into a Grand Tour when Tudor and Jayco are pacing protecting 10th place on GC and Naesen is blocking Arensman from getting bonus seconds for Gall 😂

Proof that teams listen to podcasts. Ciccone back in regular shorts after @benjinaesen.bsky.social expressed disdain at the full Azzurra kit yesterday.

Caruso on his attack yesterday: "My legs weren't great, but I'm old and stubborn so I went for it anyway". Forza Damiano 🩷🇮🇹🫡

Caleb Ewan was silent on comms at the end. After the ad break he revealed he was shaking for Michael Valgren to win as Matthew Keenan called the finish. Michael and Sissel Hundahl are Godparents to his daughter.

"I was missing this on my resume. I think I deserve this. My career has been pretty good but I needed this Grand Tour stage win" That was a fantastic stage, and Michael played it perfectly 👏🤩

Valgren is ON ONE! He could probably roll his biggest gear uphill all day if he had to 😵

Missing splits, getting the wrong rider in the front group, controlling when they shouldn't be. This is cycling heritage.

Paging @dandeakins.bsky.social

Remi Cavagna was doing long distance solo victories before Tadej was even a pro. Watch and learn young man.

Can't go a whole Giro without a 🤌

ALLEZ LONDRES! The search is on to find 9,000 volunteers across the UK for the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes Grand Départs in 2027🚴‍♀️ London will stage the Tour de France Femmes on 1 August 2027 and volunteers will be at the heart of the race ❤️👏 shorturl.at/epwRN

"Are you going to try to match Pogacar's 6 stage wins?" "We take it day by day"

Interviewer: "Why did you choose today to win in pink?" Excuse me?

That's the closest we've got to a Pogacar celebration by Vingegaard. The arms out, the smile, the look to the side. We all know this Giro is a training ride for him, but he's putting on a display in the process.

That was a weird climb by Red Bull. Smashed it from the bottom and then Pellizzari had a mega crack.

Piganzoli has one job this Giro. He's done it and now he's having fun 😆

Movistar's plan is always Toulouse.

Sometimes you need to race smarter, not harder, in the groupetto 😉 #GirodItalia

Catching up on the weekend's Giro. These moments are the best. Hop on my wheel lad, let's get you home 🥰🩷

2027 Paris-Brest-Paris pre-qualifying ride in the books. Distance is one thing, the interminable flatness of the Fens is quite another 😵‍💫

5 years 🤩

Bettiol winning the same kind of stage as he did in 2021 🫡

Oh my God! Groupama-FDJ ARE in this Giro!

Oh yes, UAE are definitely basing their Seixas decision on whether Del Toro beats him at the Dauphine

#VueltaBurgos stage 2 today. 19-year-old 🇳🇴 Oda Aune Gissinger (Hitec Products-Fluid Control) will wear the red mountain jersey; I asked her about her stage 1 breakaway:

I'm surprised I'm seeing this first on the BBC and not in cycling media, but there we go! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cyclin...

They did it for the meme, obviously

He understands this A LOT better than Jan Christen by the way. He choses very good moments, and he only does it in races where the peloton is reduced and tired, giving him a much better shot.

That's been coming all season for Alec Segaert. He's tried the last 3km attack to many times. He won GP Denain and now he's won a Giro stage, chapeau 👏
