After a thrilling day against the clock for the participants of the 105th Giro d’Italia, the stand-out performance is undoubtedly that of the eventual victor, Team BikeExchange Jayco’s British GC hopeful Simon Yates. The astonishing speed shown by Simon Yates on the stage 2 time trial is a gauntlet thrown in the direction of his GC rivals.
Sir Bradley Wiggins believes Simon Yates’ stunning Stage 2 Individual Time Trial victory makes him the ‘clear favourite’ to win this year’s Giro d’Italia. The BikeExchange–Jayco rider posted a time of 11’50” — five seconds quicker than that of Tom Dumoulin (Jumbo-Visma) who was in the lead at the time.
BUDAPEST : Simon Yates of Team BikeExchange-Jayco won the second stage of the Giro d'Italia, a 9.2-kilometre individual time trial around Budapest on Saturday, as Mathieu van der Poel of Alpecin-Fenix held onto the leader's pink jersey.
Team BikeExchange Jayco’s Simon Yates produced the time trial of his career to win stage 2 of the Giro d’Italia, and put himself in a strong position in the general classification going into stage 3. Mathieu van der Poel narrowly missed out on the stage win, coming in second to retain the maglia rosa.
Ataviado por el buzo rosa, a juego con su flamante bicicleta de contrarreloj, salió a reconocer por la mañana el trazado de la segunda etapa del Giro de Italia en las inmediaciones de la Plaza de los Héroes de Budapest, escenario donde horas más tarde tomaría la rampa de salida con el objetivo de defender su preciada maglia de líder. Y lo consiguió el neerlandés con una solvente actuación en el día en el que Simon Yates se erigió en total protagonista. El británico logró aventajar a 'MVP' en tres segundos para alzarse con el triunfo y conseguir una renta interesante, si bien nada significativa, sobre sus más directos rivales. Importó más el mensaje: Simon va a por todas en esta Corsa Rosa.
BikeExchange-Jayco sports director Matt White says Richard Carapaz scares him the most ahead of the Giro d'Italia. Carapaz won the Giro in 2019 when riding for Movistar. The all-rounder finished third at the Tour de France last year and was the Olympic road race champion at Tokyo 2020.
Ineos Grenadiers are the favourites to continue their Giro d'Italia domination when Richard Carapaz spearheads the British team on the first grand tour of the season, which starts on Friday.
