A wonderful stage yesterday with a thrilling finale (highlights video doesn’t do justice to the epic Siena finish)!

EDIT: unfortunately the videos might be geoblocked for some, try the official Giro channel if that’s the case

Great to see van Aert win a race again! Luckily he didn't take over too much when he didn't need to.

Indeed, I was dreading yet another 2nd place for him🥈

How he maneuvered the last turns is awesome, he had the experience to pull it off. But first he had to glue himself to an amazing Del Toro.

I've not always been his greatest fan, but I thought he did well to hang on yesterday on the final climb and take the win.

That’s really unfortunate! I just checked and the official Giro channel does have English commentary, is it geoblocked, too? I posted the TNT Sports videos because I thought the Giro ones were only in Italian.

Not only this one is not geo-blocked (for me: France), but it sounds like it auto-detects your country: the comments are in French for me!

It looks like it has 3 audio channels: English, French and Italian.


While we're at it, can you see from your country the French TV video I linked at the bottom of this comment: https://sh.itjust.works/post/37966820/18588696 ?

Not bad!

No, from Germany I cannot see that video you posted.

EDIT: but it works with a VPN, which is also not a given

Damn, that's what I feared. So, if I must post such a video in the future, I shall warn about the geoblocking.
