Evenepoel is scared and has 50 km time trial left in the Giro

first stage of Italy spins, first time test and first success for Remco Evenepoel. The young Belgian rider started the Giro very strongly and showed that he is a machine. He deserved to win and the most important thing for him is that he took 43 seconds from his biggest rival to the last victory, the Slovenian. Roglic is a cousin. And if we consider that this is the first 19 timed kilometers and there is another 50 kilometer time trial divided into two stages, the truth is that the destruction that Evenepoel can do in the race is frightening.

Roglic had a bad day, there was no other explanation, and the Giro was starting to get complicated from day one. Among the other cyclists, I would highlight the Portuguese João Almeida, that he achieved the third best time trial time; in Filippo Gannathe second, that Evenepoel has not been with him since Tao Geoghegan Hart, that he achieved the fourth best time and we must not forget that he already knows what it is to win a Giro (2020).

I sincerely think that the result of the time trial is as expected. evenepoel He was the favorite and he fulfilled, what no one expected was that Roglic would not be up to the task and give so much time from the start. A bad start that will have consequences if we consider that as I said before there are still 50 kilometers against the clock.

The seven Spanish cyclists are in their place, little can be expected from them in the first time trial and let’s see how they perform in the coming days. We will also see what he can do. The Movistar team together Fernando Gaviria in sprint phases. This Sunday the Colombian can give Movistar its first victory in this Giro.
