I agree with you. Pocagar is very smart trying to provoke other rides calling them not courageous” so that the other temas pull him in limousine till the last 30 km.

I watched the break form, sunk into a 20 min nap, the FFWD to 30 km to go. Then tuned in to Chris to see if I actually missed anything. A perfect Giro watching day!!

Hey Chris, not sure if you know this but your former DS José Azevedo is now commentating for Eurosport Portugal and yesterday he spoke about you and your eating "habits" during a grand tour. I think he knew some about the whole McDonald's thing but for sure not all of it. 😂 Still he said you were always incredibly professional and although you had those habits you were always on form to race. The other commentators were losing their minds about this so I concluded that they are knuckleheads because that means they don't follow this fantastic channel! All the best 🦋

9:08 Ineos trio. Jhonatan Narváez is undercover with national champion kit keeping G rear wheel out of troubles. 😸I think he did pretty well🦋

Man, that was such an amazing breakdown, Chris. It’s always amazing, but the detail with which you break things down is just incredible. I don’t think ANY other commentators go this deep. It makes the parts of the race that used to seem boring super exciting. Thanks so much!! 🙏

Hey Chris, Can we please applaud Amanuel Ghebregzabhier. He was animal today. To be a Super Domestic for a Sprinter is crazy.

Chris Horner: "This Sprinter Cut the WHOLE Peloton" Forks News: "This SPINSTER Cut a HOLE in the Peloton"

I grin everytime you say Knucklehead, i just cant help it. Lol

Chris Horner. Is by far the smartest strategic racer and does the best analytical breakdown of each stage. Chris, as long as Johnny Milano wins the stage it doesn't matter if a Spaniard is put into the barriers.❤😊

Chris, I’ve really been enjoying the Butterfly Effect during this Giro. I wish you could replace one (or most 😅) of the Euro sport announcers.

Tomorrow the Giro goes through Osimo, beautiful little town on a hill top!

We really appreciate your diligent work and commitment with the channel

Chris, on the Eurosport Portugal Stage 11 at 149km to go, José Azevedo talked about your unbelievable eating habits. Eating hamburgers, drinking a lot of Coke, having a small bag with chocolates. “But he was super professional at every level, he showed up to the races in good form and thin!”

Almost 80k Subs. Nice!

Ben Swift was an absolute monster on the run to 3km - on the front for about 2km (with a small period of shelter).

2nd Hope Grobschartner heals up. UAE will need him next week. He was really slow getting up. Glad he hit the grass and not the street. Jacobson was already out of the sprint when he hit the deck, too far back. Sucks though.

Excellent very in-depth analysis of the sprint finish. I don't think I've ever seen one more in-depth. Thank you. But no comment on Merlier's relegation? I thought there would be one based on the thumbnail.

Nice listening to your speech. Hope your tooth is better now. Thanks Chris. Take care. 👍♥️

Johnny Milan was an absolute beast.

OK Chris, Cyclingnews is still droning on about this, so you ought to say something about this shocking "controversy" that a guy would show up at a bike race and try to win as much as he can. As you can tell, I think this is the dumbest thing ever, so if you disagree, I'd love to hear why. And look, I get that a well-judged gift can pay dividends later. And I get that if he wants to win the Tour, Pogačar has to be smart about spending energy. But that's not what they're talking about; they seem to think that Pogačar should avoid winning out of politeness or something. Come on!

J.Milan had just enough head bobs to take the win. 🤜🤛👍

Thanks, dude!

it would be really helpful to include the stage numbers and race in the titles. it helps keep track of where we are in the giro and esp for people who want to go back adn see these videos in the future

Forgot Merlier from 2 to 88place Say Goodbye to point jersey Tim🤣🤣😜🔝❤️

Rocket man!

BOOYA!

Hello Chris! One interesting thing to look at here... Caleb Ewan. A few days ago, you made a video about him complaining that his team wasn’t helping him. For years (at Lotto) he has not won and repeats this, it is not his fault, it is that of his team. I do not agree with that, I am tired of this rider and yet I liked him. Today it is still a perfect example; his team does a good job but he is not up to it. He has a good train, but when Mezgec launches his sprint, Caleb is no longer in his wheel... And why? Because at one point he makes the wrong choice (we can clearly see it on the video) to leave his teammate’s wheel and follow someone else. This was already the case at Lotto, I saw exactly the same situation too many times. I don’t know what’s wrong with him, it’s too bad...

I thought relegation was sort of a myth….Considering Tour de France Jasper Philipsen

I have to wonder how teams train for the bump and jostling of sprint finishes? It just seems like some riders always get pushed around while others are able to move others out of the way to get to their spots. Some of it is size and strength, but not all. To me it looks like something teams can train for if for no other reason than to keep their team safer by knowing how to deal with a hard bump without losing control.

Knucklehead!!!!

Milan reminds me of Tom Boonen in his young years!

The Knucklehead won 🏅 the race today 5/16/24

Seriously though Chris - if there was a split, how many seconds could Tadej lose? How many is he already ahead, and how many is he likely to gain in future mountain stages? Is that really worth the risk of possibly ending his season with a crash in the argy-bargy? Does he really HAVE to? Or is Pogy a bit impetuous and rash, which may cost him dearly, much as we love to watch it?

Tiberi already beat GT a few weeks back into third place at tour of the alps. A few years earlier he was the world ITT Junior champion. I’m calling him to repeat his podium finish into 3rd in Rome.

young guys can be Knuckleheads hahahahhahahhaha

I don't think Pog. should worry loosing a few seconds that way to Thomas. He saves his energy he invests better. Thomas will never beat him unless he has serious problems.

Alaphilippe wasn't that angry today. Yet, you should still make a video... 'What's Eating Monsieur Alaphilippe?"

What's the story with the jerseys behind you? Can I send you one from my team and you put it up?

I think after this stage it proves that Caleb might be done. The whole excuse about not having a good lead-out train is out the window. Milan was surfing wheels from 1k to go and won. Caleb didn’t even fight for 4th just like the other stages he gives up before the finish line. I think the hunger for winning stages is gone. Eventually the team will catch to that and think twice working for him in other stages.

Milan…!!!!

Why are all the cars right up on the back of the pack when they hit 200m?

We'll see tomorrow if JA's tactics continue to be 'money' as they were a couple of days ago, or he reverts to his old style.

Top 5?!!

I not sure but it looks like the nature of sprinting has changed a bit, where the big guys, not just the sprinter but also their lead out assert their position at the front by bumping other teams lead out. I know Sagan used to get a bit of flak for pushing his way to the front, but now it looks like the whole team pushes their way to the front. Not just a wee bump to hold their line a big bump to disrupt their opponents?

Should G ask Chris for advice as an older Grand Tour Winner?

Chris besides the last 10 km this was a snooze stage. The whole philosophy of Tadej Pogacar sharing the pie and letting breakaways win due to peer pressure does mot sit well with fans and does not seem to sit well with Pog either. He seems genuinely annoyed that pressure was applied on him by his fellow riders. Juicy stuff this needs your informed comment methinks?So when Paret-Peintre wins I am thinking he only won because of peer pressure in the Peleton and Pog shakes the winners hand unenthsiastically and very unPog like.

Who’s Tibbiary?

Knucklehead count: 6 All 6 are carryover knuckleheads from stage 10.

i don t care about the white jersey ,only pinky njoylife

Looks like everyone is a knucklehead except for Chris Horner.

it's not TIBIERI there's no middle I.

I'm disappointed Jonathan Milan is not going to the Tour he would be a big threat to Jasper Phillipsen the way he sprints and the power he puts down would have been nice to see him instead of Mads Pedersen 🤔👊🦋🦋

Thumbs 👍👍👍👍👍🎈👍

Fabio Jakobsen doesn't project confidence in pre-start interview and crashes hard in the final. Not a good sign.

4th

It looks to me like Lamperti was EXACTLY WHERE HE SHOULD BE. Merlier and his final lead rider were TOO FAR BACK.

First

Milan is juiced.

The video doesn't answer the question "Relegation?". I my view clear yes! Unacceptable way going from left to right and back.

He deserved to be relegated

Knucklehead!!!!
