Giro d'Italia 2026 spoilers

[Pross]

Definitely not expecting a pile up on the 90 degree left 400m out with people fighting for position into the cobbles.

140k of flatness with nice weather today. 19/20 deg sunny intervals.
I could do that

Then a cobbled sprint finish which as @Pross says could be ... interesting.

Afternoon all, I watched some of the Giro's opening stages, but haven't managed to see anything of Tuesday, Wednesday or today.
I don't want to look up the stage profiles, as I'll see the results for sure, but just wanted to ask if either, or both stages (And or Today's) are worth catching up on, and if so from roughly how far out please?

The 1 hour highlights of both stages from DMAX should do the job. You could watch from 60k to go on Stage 4 and 80k to go on Stage 5 but it wouldn't add much, from what I know. Maybe some of the context of Stage 5 but they explain that in the post race analysis as part of the show

No one has attacked

The highlight of the Stage 5 Highlights was after they showed the chaos of the early climb (20k in!), then jumped to the run-in; poor Orla was given the job of "The Story So Far ..." to explain all the attacks, re-groups, re-attacks that had happened in between. She gave it a go, but add in the anonymous riders under rain-gear and I was clueless!

A memorable watch nonetheless

Thanks both, I think SBS have a highlights package so I will seek that out on there, I don't want to risk hearing kirby in full flow.
