From where to where: Budapest
צ פ ו | Section 02 of the Giro d’Italia 2022
1. The second stage in the Gyro 2022: a short and painful stage against 9.2 km along the Heroes’ Square in Fest, across the Danube River on the Margit Island Bridge, through a climb of the last 1.3 km next to the famous Fisherman’s Fortress, to the top of the Palace Hill On the side of Buda (the side of Budapest west of the Danube).
2. The gyro will never be decided at such a stage, but statements of intent and a signal of current fitness status were certainly on the agenda, especially in light of the short climb at the end.
3. Simon Yates The British from the Australian bike-exchange group (Adam’s twin brother) has already led safely and was about to win the gyro that started In Jerusalem in 2018Until everything ran away from him three steps to the end with the gyro’s winning attack Chris Fromm In the legendary ascent to the Cole della Finstra. Yates shattered there physically to pieces, lost over an hour in two days of riding, and failed to finish even among the top twenty in that gyro. His gyro memory is like a fresh bunch.
4. The Englishman, who has already won the overall standings In Spanish Valletta in 2018, Won in 2017 the young rider’s shirt in the Tour de France, and to his credit are recorded stage victories in each of the three Grand Toures, never winning a stage against the clock in the Grand Tour. His specialty is climbing.
5. Amazingly, at the midpoint that came after just a flat ride and right at the start of the climb, Yates was already leading on all the riders. Even the double Olympic silver medalist against the clock – former world champion – Tom Dumoulin The Dutchman, lagged behind him.
6. Yates flew up Buda Palace Hill and won the short-range stage at 11:50 min. The victory took Yates second place in the overall standings – the first of the prominent candidates for the overall victory. A place he knows well, which did not yield him the suffix he had hoped for.
7. After winning yesterday in the first stage of Vishgard Fortress, Matthew van der Paul The Dutchman was determined to keep the pink carrier’s shirt and finished second in the court today, just three seconds behind Yates.
8. On the way, an incriminating video was posted that caught Van der Paul in an unforgivable sin towards the entire Italian nation, as he was quick to notice from the Italian Theo Tarantin on his Twitter page (comments were not long in coming):

9. Tom Dumoulin finished third, 5 seconds behind Yates. But while Van der Paul was happy with the preservation of the pink shirt, Dumoulin, who had already retired from competitive cycling in 2020, and returned in 2021, did not hide his disappointment. “I wanted to win the stage,” said the leader of the powerful Yombo-Wisma team, “I am disappointed.”
10. Group Israel Premier-Tech Is in a sensitive state. There is no Giro in the group Even one Israeli riderAnd among the top league teams of the road bike, the World Tour, it is currently ranked 19th – a place that leads at the end of the season to a lower ranking in the league at a lower level. After a bad spring season on the road, if it does not want to relegate at the end of the season, the Israeli team must start producing results, and fast. She has a good chance of doing just that in the Giro, with Giacomo survived Who will compete for victory in sprints, starting at Lake Balaton tomorrow with the help of the team’s best sprinters; And later, also with Alessandro de Marki and others, who will try to compete for victories in more mountainous stages.
in parenthesis: Rick Zabl From the Israel Premier-Tech team, he managed to outwit the stick for the second time with a trick he has already succeeded in the past. He kept forces at the beginning of the CIS until the ascent, and climbed it faster than anyone. The victory in the daily ascent earned him equality in the overall mountain score with Matthew van der Paul. With the pink shirt resting on the Dutchman’s shirt, Zebel will wear the climber’s top shirt tomorrow, and given the lack of climbs tomorrow, he is expected to wear it again in Sicily on Tuesday.
11. Tomorrow a completely flat stage in the Hungarian plain until the end at the famous Belton Lake. With the exception of surprises, the end of the stage is expected to produce a head-to-head sprint battle between Caleb Yuan andMark CavendishMatthew van der Paul, Giacomo Survivor and others.
Heat the goulash.
