2 of the BEST Time Trialist FACE OFF 

50+km/hr average is just other worldly. It’s good Ganna won in front of his home crowd.

Most deserved win for Filippo Ganna.

So much respect between Pogi and G.

Magnus, OUCH! It hurt just to see those open wounds. Agreed, if you're there to work and your name's not Ganna, back off. The twin towers of Italy, Ganna and Milan, sweating out Pog's ride, that was great. Thanks, Chris!

That Horner 110 jersey is 🔥🔥. You’re the man, Chris! 🇺🇸

You’re spot on as usual. Aside of the top ten, why push the limit with the queen stage looming. This is a team sport and to see Ineos burn matches make it seem that G is racing for 2nd.

Top Ganna turned on the afterburners today 🔥

All GC guys rode hard for the ITT yesterday! For INEOS, most of G’s climbing team rode hard as well! Thankfully, most of UAE saved their energy. Today, it’s 5700+ m of climbing! Who’s gonna pull? It’s going to be a day of ultimate suffering for the peloton!

Time for Tadej to coast with that time cushion and stay upright till the tour

Watch a bit of MotoGP, and you quickly realize how slippery paint is!

Really enjoyed that thanks....got on the Scotty and turned my old legs inside out.... Brilliant! 😊✌️

Chris Horner: “Face Off” John Travolta and Nicolas Cage: “Oh not again.”

I seat in my chesterfield chair and I wonder why Chris put soo much emphasis on Team Ineos.

Ganna.. 33.3 mph for us Americans .... smoking fast... I heard 460 watts avg

Magnus wanted to see where he's at regarding Olympic TT. He got green light before the giro started to go full gas.

yea tadej looks beat after his ride, but do you think he saved some in the tank for tomorrow?

You left out Australian TT champion, Luke Plapp from your initial top 10. He did ok in the end.

Congratulations to Ganna on his win Pogacar did well but for sure flat racing is not his favourite This guy with a balanced team will make it hard for all other riders I wish him all of the best for the rest of the Giro Fan from South Africa 🇿🇦

"The race of truth", FLAT individual time trial.

Bjerg is no doubt a certified knuckle head. All that wasted energy knowing there are two mountain stages coming. 😅

Top Ganna got it by sheer power on a flat parts otherwise Pogi would've caught him. 4 Ineos dudes in top 10 today. Waking up early tomorrow to see how these guys' bodies hold up in thin air, to check out if any snow is left and most of all if someone will set Mortirolo record. Going with Bardet to be allowed to peel off.

And today the top stage on paper. Do u think Pogadcar and Vinegard would destroy Froome and Contador?

Bjerg is not a nucklehead today! Bjerg must deliver a good result in order to qualify for the Olympics in Paris. The Danish Federation has this demand 😁

Bravo, Chris. Evviva evviva Ganna! E guarda però quello che ha fatto Tibieri. Il podio a Roma? Magari! G e Tadej sono pura classe

Damn average is +50km/h 😮, these riders are amazing.

I understand your argument that Sheffield shouldn’t have gone all out in the TT, but he is a young rider with the potential to win TTs in major races in the future. Aren’t these great opportunities for younger riders with potential to see where they stand against the best?

This win will do Ganna a power of good, bring on the mountains!

One thing I am curious to see tomorrow. In the Tour de France Pogacar blew up on a difficult mountain stage the day after the time trial. The stage tomorrow features the Mortirolo, one of the most difficult climbs in cycling. How will Pogacar handle it? Granted there is no one else in this peloton who even comes close to his ability though.

big time Wiinners : GUNNER (little help 4 Chris) Pogacar HORNER (who - again beats any live coverage by far❤) Heatd eurosports experts claiming 35min flat out would be a good preparation for the upcoming mountain stage. Speachless.

Interesting how, aside from Pogacar, and Sheffield's unfortunate crash today, INEOS ruled the two long time trials. They did massive research on aerodynamics to help Ganna crush the hour record and it looks like it helped the whole team. But they need to find a race with a team time trial. This one ain't it.

Watching Magnus fall… again and again and again, ahem, did not feel great. And a gutsy performance from him! (Admitting he did misjudge that corner by quite a damn bit-in MotoGP, they call it "folding the front early")

Wasn't there an Italian cyclist named Luigi Ganna way back when? Maybe an ancestor?

I dont think Tobias Foss is 100% after his crash, but he needed to feel going fast. He needed to feel that he is regaining his strenght. And he is getting closer.

I agree that in terms of team tactics it is not ideal, but TT specialists, such as Bjerg, Sheffield and Foss are of course going to go full gas. I don't think it's reasonable to ask them not to. This is their speciality, today it's one of the most important TTs of the season for them and obviously they want to race. Besides, these guys do sometimes beat the outright favourites. Foss surprised everybody at his world championships. Bjerg surprised everybody at last year's Dauphiné. Sheffield had scored two straight podiums in TTs before today. Yes, I understand what you're saying. However, consider also this: if Bjerg is not allowed to go full-gas in TTs, he's probably not going to stay in UAE.

Sheffield ate it in eataly corner ("sponsored by Olive Garden"). Pogi seems to be very good on the sportsmanship. He seems happy when people perform well. It is hard to dislike him even though he is taking some fun out of the racing by being so strong.

I have never been a fan of watching tt's . Never really understood the reason for them. After watching these and listening to you I think I have a better understanding but they still are not my favorite part of the tours. Looking forward to tomorrow's stage.

If Aresnman hadn't managed to lose almost 4 minutes in the first 2 days, things would look quite a bit different.

What are those funky flaps under the Ineos riders sun glasses/visors?

Top Ganna!

Dramatic reporting as in real-time, Chris. Your straight-shooting frankness, road-proven expertise, & rib-poking analysis keep me a loyal fan.

Tiberi. 3 syllables. Not 4. 😀 Tea-bear-E. Great commentary in every other way

Well that would have been one to be there. To actually see as they flashed by. Anyone know what temp it was at start time and at finish?

Geraint Thomas was saying he only had a coupleof timecheck's, and has spoken before about radios not working ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NJpWbaka5Fg.html

Woooo

Top Ganna for the win!

Shouldn't Martijn Arensman (Thymen's dad) offer up a heartfelt apology to his son's trainer at this point? Or did this prove his point and Thymen rode himself back to form?

Hang on !? Is not everybody doing the time trial? Can teams pick the riders who participate, or doe the first 25 in the general classification must ride the time trial? How does it work? Thank you very much, I was under the impression that everyone ride is in the time trial in order of their standing in the general classification - Last to First.

Rosa and White Jersey 👍 Ineos except Ganna👎 Only Treat for Podacar is Bahrain Victorious Tiberi. Easy living for UAE 😜🔝❤️

Being in control of the Giro, is it possible Pog didn't give it everything he had to save gas? Just curious.

What is Milan doing in the hot seat with Pippo?

Perhaps Pogacar is proving that the Giro is NOT as difficult as we are made to believe. Or Le Tour is certainly naturally more difficult. Or Pogacar has NO adversaries.

❤

Ganna is the King on flat ITT. If Giro has TTT, may give GT more chances

Should it be better to release according to TT time than gc time if its tt stage

the french can t time trial baudin is in the 10 ! and paret peintre up 1place in gc .where s the time trial tour ? njoygiro

its stoopid that pogo can dump on ganna in the TT

Isn’t that Luke Papp in the seat with him?

Are these guys on ineos gt excluded, under pressure by the team to act as markers for gt et al?

Chris Horner: Why don't those who dominate TTs in grand tours ( e.g. Tadej, Jonas, Chris Froome, etc. etc. and so on and so forth) ever win the WC TT? Guys like Ganna and, say, Fabian Cancellera are built bigger, so it stands to reason that they can exert more power over a certain period of time. Do the GC guys pass over TT WC's because they don't care? Also, aside from your huge hands, you seem to have a similar build to the likes of Tadej and Jonas. Why did you lose time in the TT when those mentioned dominate everyone except the beasts on bikes?

Knucklehead count: 1 Some days it hurts to be a knucklehead.

Tiberi not Tibieri wtf

Comment

I guess Bjerg just enjoys time trials? And sense be damned? I enjoyed the kilo on the track, but sucked at it.

Lmao Romain Bardet lost so much time.

Chris the giro was over in one week, it’s a fu💩king snooze fest.. how can you even invest time watching a done deal. It’s kills grand tour racing interest.. it’s shit in my opinion, Only JV GT makes a competitive race these days.

What a shame Filippo Ganna rides for INeos !

Well that would have been one to be there. To actually see as they flashed by. Anyone know what temp it was at start time and at finish?
