The first day of school can often be hard! The
Giro d'Italia had barely started — and we'd already identified our 'blunder of the day award'.
It can take a few days for a rider to achieve a degree of sharpness in a Grand Tour, and that was evident for
EF Education-EasyPost's James Shaw.
Third time lucky is normally how the saying goes, but for Shaw even three attempts wasn't enough as he rode through the feed zone.
The British rider wanted to grab a bidon, but failed to take one on three separate occasions. Let's hope a teammate was generous enough to hand over one of theirs.

EF gently poking fun at Shaw
After the missed bottle grab incident, EF Education were quick to add another perspective of the video to their
Instagram feed. Captioned 'Hey it’s harder than it looks ya know 😅👽', we get the feeling the whole team will be laughing about this one on the team bus tonight.
