13:23 – EF tries a lot of things (153.5km)

This is a big blow for the Jumbo-Visma Lease a Bike team. The experienced Robert Gesink is forced to abandon this 2024 Giro because of a broken hand. The Dutchman was involved in a fall this Saturday.

12:30 – The favorites of the 2nd stage
This will certainly be the case at each hilly stage of this Giro 2024 but the big favorite is Tadej Pogacar. The arrival at the summit at Santuario Di Oropa (6.2% over almost 12 kilometers) could smile on the Slovenian’s face even if other riders could still deprive “Pogi” of a first victory in a Tour of Italy. The Frenchman Romain Bardet, in difficulty yesterday, likes this kind of course just like the Welshman Geraint Thomas or the Italian Damiano Caruso.
12:20 – The profile of the 2nd stage of the Giro 2024
The second stage of this Giro 2024 will be held between San Francesco Al Campo and Santuario Di Oropa. It will be 161km long and will look like that of yesterday. If the first part of the race should be rather quiet, the end already promises to be tough with the first finish at the top of this 107th edition of the Tour of Italy.
12:10 – What happened yesterday
The first stage of the Giro 2024 took place this Saturday and was rather eventful. Indeed, Tadej Pogacar tried everything to grab the leader’s pink jersey but had to give in to Jhonnatan Narvaez who won in the three-way sprint at the finish in Turin. The blue jersey for best climber is on the back of Frenchman Lilian Calmejane while the white jersey will be worn today by another French rider Alex Baudin.
