@@jean-jacqueslavigne3109 I presume he was trying to win the stage plus gain some time on his rivals right? I mean he had the black armband on in memory of his ex-teammate who was killed last week so I presume he was looking to win the stage in his memory. Tbh, he'll probably be in pink in Stage 2 anyway looking at the finish.
Once again, I thank you for the great pronunciation of the names of all riders, independent of language. Best narrator/commentator in cycling! What is his name?
Wow! What a finish. Now THAT's pro bike racing. All those miles, all those climbs, just to come down to an inch or two at the line--at blistering speeds.
He did this in last year's TdF too - burned too much energy at the start while Visma made sure he didn't get too much time. It's fun to watch, but from a tactical perspective there is no good reason for him to be sprinting for stage wins on stage 1 of the Giro.
It was nice rooting for Calmajean to stay away long enough for the KOM points, and then for Narvaez to stay on Pogi’s wheel and when he out sprinted him it was just great. I’m so glad someone finally beat him. Not that I dislike Pogi, I just want entertaining racing. Not a one man show.
I think pogi’s plan is to already take some time (and win stages) in the first days in the mountains and then on the flat stages give someone else the jersey for the middle part of the giro
UCI should require 360deg live streaming cameras on the front of everyone’s bikes. Add unlimited customized viewing options for spectators and also slows down the races to limit severe injuries
Pog needs to realise grand tours are not won on the 1st stage. I understand laying down a marker, but going hard so often in the TDF last year ultimately cost him.
It's a shame we won't be seeing Jonas and Remko battling with Tadej in this race. Should be a relatively easy win without those two riders, not to mention no Primoz.
We're worried (based on the near dozen top-tier injured riders in early 2024) about the safety of the peloton more than ever (perhaps) ~ and now they have drones overhead that nearly ran into a tree branch? Jeeebus crisp! What's the UCI TV rights contract stipulation, if a drone shatters on a tree or pole and deadly shards blind or maim the racers? I've got zero problem with drones, as long as they remain above (minimum height?) or behind (minimum distance = ?), or on the side. UCI or whichever Event Organizer gave a fine(!) to a TV helicopter crew or pilot for flying too low (or close) to riders in a race in 2023 (or 2022?), I believe for the strong winds they generated. We better not lose another participant before Regulations are imposed. If they exist, I haven't found them yet.
Rob Hatch just gets more and more annoying as an Englishman trying to pronounce names and places like an Italian/French/Dutch/Spanish /Slovenien/Norwegian/Danish etc etc……unique in the World…..no one speaks like this Rob!..
No he isn't annoying. He speaks French, Italian, Spanish and German fluently. He evn lives in Spain. He's just pronouncing people's names as they should be pronounced. If you don't like it, don't watch.
Because this is not a national competition and the team israel premiertech has nothing to do with the idf, the sponsor and owner are canadian no? Also comparing current israel with nazi germany... my man knows very little about history
Adams is an Israeli citizen and Israeli actions are not above or beyond reasonable scrutiny because of historical events which occurred in the 1940's.@@halcalaquende9952
3:01 almost disaster with the fpv drone. Should nog be allowed flying over a peleton wich is going 80km/h. Actually a good and a very bad thing from the directors to put this in the edit…🫣
Ready pushing pedals next to riders, just stay safe and feel just fine everybody, the cycling races beauty is that no matter the winner we are crazy happy at home, wishing cycling partnerships become the best business in Ecuador and Latin American countries, nobody must get hurt, just get smart and enjoy sports business, it looks just this good, yeah, makes life worth living.

Thank you for not spoiling the results in the title!
Indeed!
Nice
Same. Big thank you! It’s then my way I can watch it. Always try to cover the screen before clicking the thumbnail.
+++. They were Spoilersport last season. Can get back to Eurosport this one I think.
@@ChuckWind-Sawdickhead
Finally a decent highlights video. You actually captured what happened in the race succinctly and clearly. Well done.
still not on the level of lanterne rouge but if they keep this up i won't be too crushed LR doesn't have giro rights
Was thinking the exact same thing
What an absolute *BANGER* of an opening stage! 🧨
9oòp😊😊
For sure. That said, I don’t understand what Pogacar was trying to do. Pink Jersey from beginning to end? And then repeat in France? Come on….

@@dunquinho9706 who passed on last week? I missed the news, it seems
Thank you @Eurosport for finally improving the quality of the highlights. Looking forward to the upcoming three weeks. Keep it coming :)
I'd like to thank the commentators for delivering a listening worthy commentary! It is not a standard thing these days.. Well done!
What a great race. I love the grand tours.
I’d love some extended highlights. 20-40 minute recaps would be perfect!
Yeap 👍
Nice drone footage, great stage.
great commentary...thank you
Once again, I thank you for the great pronunciation of the names of all riders, independent of language. Best narrator/commentator in cycling! What is his name?
Rob Hatch
Wow! Fantastic opening stage.
Great highlight video; love the Giro, the best Grand Tour of them all.
Excellent highlights. What an opening stage too! Can’t wait to see it all unfold
awesome final sprint! and awesome my beautiful city Turin (Torino)!
Good set of highlights 👏
Great coverage, great commentary, no spoiler thumbnail, available in the US! Three weeks here we go!
Fantastic work. Great highlights and no spoilers in the title
Wow! What a finish. Now THAT's pro bike racing. All those miles, all those climbs, just to come down to an inch or two at the line--at blistering speeds.
Congratulations!
TP will only win by 12 minutes now that he lost stage 1
jeez hahahaha
i dont know man.. i mean UAE literally burn big energy just in the first stage.. they basically pull the whole peloton..
Thanks again for the content
Fantastic coverage thank you so much
Ooh yeah, Italodisco-inspired music playing during the intro!
Bro the drone shots are fire.
Pogacar really wants to make it a fair Tour de France! Using lots of energy on day one already.. as expected though : )
This is not the Tour de France though.
@@dawnc5797 You didn't get it though.

@@rlm4471 True. All teams are going to Fight and make him work.
I do now. It took a day. 😂 It's been a loooong week.
Nice sprint, no line deviation. Perfect.
Awesome video and commentary
Awesome video coverage ..great job 👍 thx much
Tadej sprinting on day 1. I guess he really wanted to make it look like there’s a fight
Dumb move, but I guess he must be real confident.
It was nice rooting for Calmajean to stay away long enough for the KOM points, and then for Narvaez to stay on Pogi’s wheel and when he out sprinted him it was just great. I’m so glad someone finally beat him. Not that I dislike Pogi, I just want entertaining racing. Not a one man show.
I love the tunes holy hell, italian disco vibes
Wow. Big surprise to me
No..Pog eat too much wind🤗Narvaes can šlsprint he is ppwerfull too
@@ŠtefanKučera-o7d yes you are right, p always leading
Why does the UCI not just require a small amount of protective padding in the clothing?
Crashes are too dangerous to not have more protection
Max is back
The Giro starts with a bang!
anyone know what size tyres they are mostly on ? .i was told that they run on 27 m width nowadays
You're the best rider! 🚴♀️💯
How to watch live?
It probably sounds narcisistic but as an italian for me the Giro d'Italia is the best...three weeks of glory for cycling!!
And am Slovenian and close for me is giro and I love last year Roglic win. I hope Tadej do this year. 🔥🇸🇮
🇪🇨 Ecuador win
Congratulations to Jonathan Narváez, has great Legs, A Great ecuadorian cyclist, his second win An NOW the maglia Rosa eh?👌🌎👏👍🥇
Jhonatan
What's the tune at the start of the video ?
I agree with the comments especially not naming the result,great starting stage.
I think pogi’s plan is to already take some time (and win stages) in the first days in the mountains and then on the flat stages give someone else the jersey for the middle part of the giro
So awesome!
Well done. Thanks

Jhonatan Narvaez, Will remember and Made History for his Country eh? Will Tell his kids and grandkids 😁🥇👍🙏
Ecuador en casa
Poğaçar wasn’t ready for sprinting finish 🙃
Narvaez and Schachmann looked strong! Both defeated Pogacar today. I guess he is a human after all, Pogacar😅
Schachmann was in break before final climb and still got dropped by pogacar. Only narvaez could really follow
@@drunkensailor112 only on stage 1
Kudos to editor 🎉🎉
Beautifull warriors
My friend Tadej win this giro. Last year Roglic. Slovenijan beasts 💪🔥🇸🇮
More drone footage please.
Thx
Get in there ineos 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 c
E C thanks a lot...
Narvaez slams his fist on the table and takes the cash!
The app decided it's " not available in my country" (my Country being the netherlands), but at least here i can watch ittt......
Where is Yates
Pog needs to realise grand tours are not won on the 1st stage. I understand laying down a marker, but going hard so often in the TDF last year ultimately cost him.
I wish NBC Sports had the rights…their coverage is always so much more enjoyable than the alternative..😒
Pog is conning us ... anyone but him or UAE for the GC.
It's a shame we won't be seeing Jonas and Remko battling with Tadej in this race. Should be a relatively easy win without those two riders, not to mention no Primoz.
Yes go ineos
Tade has the best EPO maskers
Wow
What’s the thing on Jonathan’s nose?
hahaha! All the prediction in stage 1 is wrong 😂😂😂
In France please
So what? A sprint finish, which proves so little, with a guy who sucked Pogi's wheel for the last 4km winning by a wheel or so.
Just the right length finally, 5 minutes was way too short!
Why so low quality? :/
good question.
When pogača don’t win it feels like I’ve been wronged
Three nationalities the whole world loves. Italian! Irish! Aussie!
Pogacar is going down the predictable road of doing too much too soon. Will be his downfall
I”ll screenshot this🫡, he will win tommorow by a 1min margin
@@lukaskerlj2253 He may well win tomorrow, it's where he will be on the podium in 3 weeks time, that's the issue.
Please get rid of Carlton Kirby!
He's not even in the broadcast for Eurosport's broadcast. 🤔
Pogacar shaky already.
Merkcx would have shooked the lot!

Haha pogacar 😆😆😆😆
You didn't think they were going to waste any VISMA VIAGRA on Laporte without Jonas there?

Would Germany be allowed to race a Germany branded team during WW2? Why is Israel allowed in the race as Israel? Need I explain?
