    [Music] the 107th Jalia was all set to go on the sunny skies at venar where it had previously begun in 2011 then it was a team time trial then was the era before this current generation of superstars this was a road stage an espresso weekend short and sharp with plenty of possibilities for strong feelings and reactions certainly strong performances and that is what we got a 140 km stage finishing in tyin heading up to Superga on the anniversary the 75th anniversary of the tragic air disaster there a final Loop including K madalena two climbs up San Vito topping out at under 3ks from the Finish Line plenty going on then and there’ll be plenty going on right from the start the flag was w just a kilometer or two later than it was meant to have been a couple of early punctures and problems in the neutral zone but when the action started it was non-stop took just a few kilometers for a six-man break to form and when they got away they built up an advantage that didn’t get too big at all B on debut with de Mar kjan gabier Petro Bon and feli all involved and that Advantage not growing too much above a minute and 40 seconds LED of course the chase by UAE Emirates San Petro was the first climb and there was going to be quite a few points for the king of the mountains on the menu for the day it was a sprinter though who was going after them at the start filipo feli the man from down south in Sicily doing the job up north in pamon [Applause] he was there to pick up the three points on offer yeah but xabia taking one B taking a couple behind things didn’t change too much still the UAE Emirates team working still putting on a big Pace to the next climb just under 70 km to go the group still staying together and having their biggest Advantage at almost 2 and 1/2 minutes supera next up an app poignant moment in front of the many Torino supporters commemorating the moment where 75 years previous on this very day a tragic air crash that killed the entirety of the greatest football team in the planet the break broke up on that climb gabber xabian and Kalan going and almost going the wrong way on the way down we got a unique view as they descended towards chin and almost 3 minutes minutes on the ptin at this stage a little chat between the two Riders at the front cjan the Frenchman a former stage winner at the welta and the tour Kaman took the Sprint points for the inter Jiro and behind well the remaining points were mocked up by Jonathan Milan gabri xabia would then make his move first time up San Vitor no points at the top of this one though he was hoping to keep the move going long enough to take the points on the callit madalina others had other ideas behind though Kristoff laort being dropped with the pace being put on by doen norvak too much for him the second category K madalena one of the most difficult climbs in the opening week was then to be taken on and it was taken on a furious Pace by UA Emirates first Mikel B then G shner had eventually of course Mah even Mato trentin was filling the heat but others were too the likes of Ironman were dropped that was a big big story for the inos grenadiers the man who’d finished six the previous year already losing big time he wouldn’t be only victim there Oman Bal would be next real options and talk of a Podium coming into this and Luke Platt would also lose some time another group started to break off the front this time led by Ki Honore was there shakman as well pelari was in the Chase and kalaran after having taken the kings of the mountains Jersey just about caught with 10ks to go final intermediate Sprint was taken by Dam caruzo he would pick three bonus seconds up important for a man who’s previously finished second in the jilo going under the final climb of San vitoor the pelan weren’t far behind or what was left of the pelan that was Bacha then made his move 4 km remain and he was followed and tracked sticking to his back wheel was Jonathan n eyes b d was there as well and Nica koni the man who’ stolen a March right at the bottom was resisting but for how long well just a couple of hundred meters from the top he was caught into the red the man in the green though shakman not far off both national champions of slavina and Ecuador was it going to be poacha on debut could shakman get back in well he did with just a kilometer to go these three were going to take it but which one n is not having race much this year shakan coming back to his best Pacha in dominant form since the turn of the Year shakman launching the Sprint pogacha going from quite way as well Nar is coming through the center the winner of AO Italia stage four years before this he’d be there he’d fight hard and despite pogacha regaining shakman coming close narv would take the win and the first m it will be shakman second Pacha third and then a group of riders coming over at 20 seconds Delight for Jonathan NIS a stage win at the J Italia and a good start for the inos gradas on one hand but of course disappointment on another with irman having lost over two minutes this the Sprint that showed narv could beat pachar and shakman in the game twoo four vital bonus seconds though for Bater and time put into his Rivals plenty of damage done on the opening day but the first Mar roza going for Jonathan narv both Eddie Ms and John buo safe in the knowledge their start to finish records and safe for another year n winning the stage then top 10 two for Thomas who reacted well t b up there with faled for s on Hermon as well and of course honorable mention for KI who was so combative hoping to take the mar Roa for Italy for the first time since 2021 they’ll have to wait for that because it’s going to Ecuador and Jonathan narvis narvis leading the Jalia going into day two and today poacha stealing a march on the rest of his contenders or day two they’ll be pedaling in the shadows of Marco panani 25 years after he did his dance in 1999 up Europa overtaking

    1. 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.

    2. 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?

    3. Pogacar really wants to make it a fair Tour de France! Using lots of energy on day one already.. as expected though : )

    4. The app decided it's " not available in my country" (my Country being the netherlands), but at least here i can watch ittt……
