Buongiorno and welcome to the Cycli♛ngnews live coverage of stage 1 of the 2022 Giro d'Italia.
We're in Budapest for the 195km opening road stage from the Hungarian ♛capital to the Visegrád citadel.&nbs🍒p;
The😼 riders are signing on in and will soon line-up for the stage♎ start.

The opening stage of the 2022 Giro d'Italia ends on the 5.6km climb to Visegrad citadel, with riders traversing a gradual but twistﷺing road.
It's a tempting stage for the sprinters and finesseurs but also offers a host of other riders a rare chance of winn꧋ing the open stage and taking the first race leader's maglia rosa.
The 195km 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia stage 1 is flat, so it will all be about the rising finish. 💫It is finely ba🧔lanced, tempting the sprinters but also offering more aggressive riders a chance.
Do the likes of Mark Cavendish (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl) and Caleb E♏wan (Lotto S🌊oudal) have a chance?
Or will 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) or 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert) use their Classics positioning ski♒lls, aggression and fast finish to steal the glory?
We will find out during our live coverage.
Cyclingnews reporters Barry Ryan and Alasdair Fotheringham are at the start area in🎀 Bu🀅dapest, chasing the latest news and interviews.

The riders appear relaxed with onl🌸y one puncture in the neutralised sector and lots of riders stopping for natural breaks.
The riders are fresh and ready to race after the Grande Partenza c🐭ountdown in Budapest.
The teams arrived on Monday and Tuesday and have been taperri🌠ng their⛦ riding to be at the best for three weeks of intense racing.
Lots goes on at the stage starts.

And we have the first attack!
Two Drone Hopper riders have surged ܫaway. They are Mattia Bias and Filippo Tagliani.
The peloton does not seem too worried and has let them ⛄go.&nbs🎀p;

The peloton seems happy 🉐to roll along and let the attackers open a significant lead.
Riders are chatting with friends, catching-up with fellow countrymen fr🌜om different teams and enjoying the relaxed atmosphere.
185km to go
This is a very tra🎃nquillo start to the Giro.
The two attackers n🅷ow lead the gruppo by 3:🌸20.
The first part of the 195km stage🌠 is ﷽on the M6 highway, so on wide, smooth roads.
The 🌱local♏ crowds are filling the bridges to watch the race go by.
It is the first time and Grand Tour has started in Hungary and the 14th time the Giro has started outside 🤡of il Bel Paese.
Hometown hero 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Attila Valter is one of three Hungari✅an riders in th♛e race.
The others are Erik Fetter (Eolo-🐈Kometa) and 🌞Barnabás Peák (Intermarché-Wanty_Gobert).
Valter got a huge cheer at the start, with 💛the local fans recognising him.

The Groupama-FDJ rider featured prominently in the early stages of last year's Giro, making a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:name for himself by defe✃nding the pink jersey with honour.
Valter knows the climb to the finish and spoke about it in detail in our special stage previeꩲw.
"It's really hard to say who will win the s🧸tage, even though I've done it quite a lot of times," Valter explained.
"I think it depends a lot on the weather. If there's a headwind, it's a big advantage for the sprinters because the group can't go so fast. Even if they push on the front, the sprinters can stay on the wh𒁃eel, so I think there are many scenarios.
"The team has two scenari꧋os: If Arnaud hangs on, then I will help him. It's much bett♌er to have someone who can win a stage, because if it's a headwind with a big bunch, I will have a hard job. I'm fast but I'm fast from a group of maybe ten guys, not from a bunch to beat people like Arnaud and Mathieu van der Poel.

175km to go
Wow. The peloton has allowed th🅘e attacke🐈rs to open a 7:30 lead and are still not chasing.
Surely the teams hoping to win the stage will soꦍon start to chase.
It is surely🦩 up to Alpecin-Fenix to inspire a chase. There are some mind games going on between the teams.
The race is intoᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ the Hungary countryside but there is little or no wind today and so little riꩲsk of crosswinds and echelons.
🐟Here are the attackers: Mattia Bias and Filippo Tagliani (Drone Hopper).

The race t൲urns off the highway and is riding towards the intermed💃iate sprint.
Mattia Bias and Filippo Tagliani (Drone Hopper) lead by 8:45⛄, with Alpecin leading the chase.
Intermarche are also helping wi📖th the chase now, with Team DSM lined-out behind the Intermarche and Alpecin rider.

The peloton has pulled the two 🀅a❀ttackers back to 8:00 as they pass through the feed zone in Vereb.
The intermediate sprint is just 20km away.
Joao Almeida waves. He's always co▨ol and collected but will have to be careful in the hectic finish today.
"Today’s 🅠finish is going to be very fast," Almeida told Cyclingnews' Alasdair Fotheringham at the start.
"🎉We’ll see how it goes. For sure the spri🅷nters will ride and go for it. If I don’t lose time it’ll be a good day for me."
We're 10km from the intermediate sprint.

While there are usually two intermediate sprints per stage,🐼 only one also awards bonus seconds as well as points.
Tod⭕ay it is the second sprint in Esztergom, with 27.5km to go.&ꦫnbsp;
115km to go
Nizzolo leads the peloton over the intermediate sp🎀rint li🌞ne.
The fight for the ciclamino points jersey inspired a short sprin🐷t with Groupama leading it out and QuickStep there too but the Israel rider was faster and had a clear ☂run.
The peloton ౠis closing the gap and it is down t꧃o 5:00.
Nizzolo scored 6 points for his efforts.
How steady is it riding the peloton? Here are the numbers for ♉Carapaz.

70km to go
Back to tﷺoday's race and Mattia Bias and Filippo Tagliani (Drone Hopper) are still pushing on in their moment of glory out front.
Rein Taaramäe (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert), Senne Leysen (Alpec꧒in-Fenix) and Julius van den Berg (EF Education-EasyPost) continue to swap off on the front, with Team DSM lined-out behind them. They're staying up front to protect GC leader Romain Bardet.
The roads are rolli🌸ng slightly as they head north towards the border with Slovaki꧃a and the Danube river.
Giacomo Nizzolo has dropped back to the team car but the s𒁃peed is so steady in the peloton that he easily returns to the peloton.
There has not beenꦏ much action so far in the stage but the crowds have been huge along the roadside.
Hungary has opened is arms to the 🌜Corsa Rosa.

50km to go
The lead of Mattia Bias and ﷽Filippo Tagliani (Drone Hopper) is down to 1:10 with 50km to🔯 go.
We will perhaps se🧸e the peloton hold them at that gap until🔴 the final kilometres.
While the peloton cruises al🍌ong, Mattia Bias and Filippo Tagliani of Drone Hopper are making a huge efജfort.
They have bee𝓰n out front since the flag dropped, 145km ago.
The😼y will need a good massage after the stage.
The crowds have bee🎃n mazing in Hungary today.
There's a real party atmosphere alon𝓀g the roadside.
Cyclingnꦐews has covered all the big-rider pre-Giro press con🦄ferences in the last few days.
Mathieuও van der Poel is the logical favourite for today's uphill finish. He has the power, speed a🌄nd aggression to win.
"It won't be easy to get the pink jersey, but I🌳'm going for it," he said.
"We rode the finish and the final climb. It's certainly not easy. It's like the opening stage in the Tour last year and t💙hen I didn't win it.
"It's really steep. There are a lot of advantages to stayin🐭g in the bunch. It𓃲 will be difficult to attack there and difficult to drop sprinters like Caleb Ewan. We'll see who has the best legs to win the sprint."
Van der Poel and🦩 his Alpecin-Fenix teammates are racing in a unique 'verde comodoro' jersey.

In our special stage preview, we suggested today's uphill finish is like ending Milan-San Remo atop t𓂃he Poggio but with a rare Corsa Rosa double of stage and leader's jersey♏ up for grabs.
🔜So far the stage has been a slow burner to say the least but we expect a Milan-San Remo crescendo finish.
Indeed, the tension is riding in the peloton as the time gap to the break falls t💖o below a minute.
Mark Cav𝓰endish is at the back of the peloton. He has a hole in his shorts but do🅘es not seem to have crashed.
He spots the TV came🎶ra and holds up a V with 2 fingers. Will it be a V for victory𒁏?
We'll find out very soon.
The peloton has let Mattia Bias and Filippo Tagliani (Drone Hopper) sweep up the bonus seconds at the int🧜eꦑrmediate sprint.
None of the sprinters i𓂃n the peloton fought for the final 1-second bonus.&༒nbsp;

20km to go
The pace is higher now and🦩 𝄹the peloton can see the attackers as they follow the banks of the Danube river.
The teams are trying to move up th🔜eir leaders and sprinters to the front ไof the pack.
The teams are packed across the road.
Mattia Bias and Filippo Tagliani (Drone Hopper) are refusing to give up but will soon be swallowed up like a whale eating 🧸liꩲttle fish.
Mark Cavendish is still sat at⭕ the back of the peloton and 🧜so perhaps won't try to contest the finish.
15km to go
And 10km to the foot of the climb.
The 195km 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia stage 1 is all be about the rising finish.
Do the likes of Mark Cavendish (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl) and Caleb Ewan (Lottꩵo Soudal)🧸 have a chance?
Or will 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) or 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert) use their Classics positioning skills, aggression and fast🐭 finish to steal the glory?
Overall contenders like Simon Yates (BikeExchange-Jayco), Richard Car💟apaz (Inoes Gre🥃nadiers) and Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious) will have to be focused and well placed to ensure they do not lose any seconds to their faster-finishing rivals.
Gruppo compatto!
Matti﷽a Bias and F♚ilippo Tagliani (Drone Hopper) have been caught.
It's uphill sprint time!
The first p♑art of the climb is in the valley at a gentle 2.6% but a hairpin bed with four kilometres to ꦏgo will be a vital pinch point, with the road suddenly kicking up the hillside at 8%. Anyone caught out of position here could pay for it massively. Some pure sprinters may already have eased up and thrown in the towel, too.
Two kilometres of climbing at 5% follow, wit♚h several other corners, until the road sweeps past the Visegrad citadel. The gradient continues upwards for another kilometre, only flattering out for the finish line, with the sprint finishing off the riders' huge effort on the sweeping, climbing road.
The GC contenders will al🌼so have to fight to hol🐻d position and avoid gaps in the peloton.
A one-second time gap in the peloton at the finish line can result in far bigger gaps in the results. There are also tiꦉme bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds awarded to the first three riders on the stage.
Stage 1 is not considered to be a ﷺsprint stage and riders will not be awarded the same time as the group they were in if they crash inside the fin𝐆al three kilometres.
10km to go
The speed is close to50km along the Danube river.
This will be a thriller. So much could happen in the final 5km.𓆏
DSM are oᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚn the right, Lotto on the left and EF down the midd🔯le.
QuickStep will perhaps ride for Davide Ballerini in the absence ꦑof Cavendish.
Groupama are also there up front for Demare.
This is the climb to the finish.

Intermarche are chasing for Girmay.
UAE close down Kamna.
Ewan is there!
There are 70 riders in the group.
Ewan seems in control.
Sprint!
Mathieu van der Poels wins it!
He🥀 is the also the first race leader and maglia rosa of the Giro.
In the final 100m MvdP went shoulder to shoulder with Girmay and edge♈d clear to win.
Caleb Ewan was up there but a touch lead him to craꦕsh hard.
Ewan seemed ܫto ride into Girmay's wheel, sparking his crash.
The💃 results confirm tha🍷t van der Poel beat Girmay.
Pe🧜llo Bilbao was third and Magnus Cort fourth.
Van der Poel came past Giramy in th🃏e final 50 metres.
This is our first shot of൩ the sprint and Ewan's crash.
van der Poel♕ started the sprint a little too far back but followed the wheels and😼 then timed his final effort perfectly.
There were definitely some gaps inꦡ the riders and so time gap in♕ the GC.
Van der Poel rides towards the podium.
He will soon pull 🐽on pink as the first race lea💞der.
We have more great photos of the finish.
This is🐼 the moment MvdP edge clear 🌼to win the stage.
This is a shot of Ewan as he got up from his crash to ride to the𓆏 finish.
The GC is still tight but Richard Carapaz and Wilco Kelderman gained 4 secs on others GC rid﷽ers.
Van der P🌠oel is on the podium to celebrate hi🔯s stage win.
Opps. As he opens the spumante, the cork hits hi𝓰m on the head.&n꧙bsp;
Van der Poel admitted the sprint had been harder than he ꦯexpected.
"I knew positioning would be the key to 🦩win today. It was a bit difficult sometimes I got boxed in a few times on the final climb and it cost a lot of energy to catch the guys in front of me," he said.
"In the final, I just launched my sprint and it was pretty close because the ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚlegs were full of lactate. But I'm really happy."
Van der Poel only knew he'd win when he looked up and saw the𝓰 finis🍸h line.
"Just on the finish line. It was going to be difficult to drop the sprinꦫters but of course it was for them, as well, the climb. I knew I had a good chance but it really h♌urt."
Van der Poel adds a maglia rosa to his yellow jersey from last year's 🌃Tour de France.&nbs🌃p;
"It's incredible, to wear the yellow jersey and now the pink... Now we will see what the 💮time trial brings tomorrow. I'm gonna try again, for sure, it will be diffic𒈔ult but I'm going to try."

After the long ride o🃏ut of Budapest and the adrenaline rush of the uphill finish near the Visegrad citadel, the Giro d'Italia returns to the capital for Saturday's 92.km stage 2 time trial.
The city-centre course includes 20 corners and will be a test for new race leader Mathieu van der Poel and spar﷽k more time gaps amongst the overall contenders.
The TT also kicks up on the cobbled streets of Budaꦚpest.
While short, with a few sharp turns and a climb at its finish, the route is reasonably technical, so it’s hard to predict outcomes. The likes of Joã🐼;o Almeida, Alex Dowsett, Mattia Cattaneo or even Luis Leon Sanchez could spring a surprise while the GC contenders are likely to work hard to ensure they do not give away precious seconds to their rivals so early in the competition.
