THEMOVE Lance Armstrong

With the last remaining one-week tune-ups behind us, we look at the riders and teams form heading into the Tour De France. Will Tadej Pogacar was not present at these races to compare. Jumbo Visma may have Co-captains after what we saw in the Dauphine. Geraint Thomas made a strong case to be the Ineos team leader. A big unknown is the potential consequences for the teams with a Covid surge as we saw in the Tour de Suisse.

Lance, Johan, George, and JB reflect on this year's Giro D’Italia and the win by Jai Hindley, who was not on most people's radar for a Giro Win. With more teams getting into the grand tour mix now including Bora Hansgrohe, and younger riders succeeding early success, sets the stage for a Tour de France showdown. Of course, there are a few great stories from back in the day that we think you will enjoy.

JB and Johan take a look at stages 16-18 of the 2022 Giro D’Italia. Have we found our top 3 mid-way through the last week? It’s still uncertain what order they may finish which could come down to the final TT. Also, Johan explains why a breakaway putting in more time is not necessarily a good thing, and might a couple of teams be in trouble of losing their world tour status before the season wraps?

Lance, Johan, George, and JB take a look at the second week of the Giro D’Italia with a historic moment, a sprinter's 3rd win and 7 riders within 2 min of the Maglia Rosa. We have an idea of who will be on the podium at the finish but the order is hard to predict.

JB and Johan take a look back at the 2nd week of the 2022 Giro D’Italia. This week kicked off with a historic win of rising talent, Biniam Girmay, only to end with an abandon following a champagne cork incident. Arnaud Démare is a nearly untouchable sprinter in this Giro with his third victory. Johan lets us know who he thinks will be on the podium for GC at the end of the Giro, one of those names wasn’t included in the conversation prior to the start of this Giro. Johan explains why. 

Lance, Johan, and JB reflect on the first 9 stages of the 2022 Giro D’Italia. Names come to mind for the overall that were not heavily considered before the start of the tour. The sprinter conversation is equally as interesting as the General Classification. With all the talk the last few years about the young guys changing the game, it turns out endurance and experience can prevail with a few seasoned veterans.
