2019 Giro d'Italia Stage 20: Feltre - Monte Avena 194 km

[SafeBet]

Nibali had a mechanical, he's now trying to bridge back to the peloton.

 

[capuldemetal]

the best defensife is the ofensive...landa for 3rd?

 

[Rollthedice]

Bilbao and Sosa in front kept in check by Caruso and Amador. The peloton is shattered as expected.

 

[Jagartrott]

This is the break, now let's see how much advantage they get and who's keeping them in check (or not).

Edit: spoke too soon, wow, crazy climb

 

[Lequack]

If the break is allowed to go we can expect no action till the last climb.

 

[SafeBet]

The peloton has completely exploded.

The break is the peloton.

 

[Climbing]

Absolutely crazy start, very few riders left...

 

[Salvarani]

I hoped this was gonna happen. A lot of riders will probably come back between the climbs though. If the break goes.

 

[Rollthedice]

Re:

Still 4km to the top.

 

[Jagartrott]

Lopez wants to race, that much is clear.

 

[SafeBet]

Zakarin is the best placed GC rider in the break. Now peloton slowing down, controlled by Movistar.

 

[Salvarani]

Is it Carretero or Pedrero with Landa and Carapaz?

Amador up front.

 

[Lequack]

Roglic might soon be isolated again.

 

[Salvarani]

Re:

Amador up front.

Both seem to be there now I think

 

[Bushman]

Zakarin in the break. That's bad news for Polanc, Formolo and Sivakov if they want to secure a top 10 placing.

 

[Salvarani]

Rojas is a great domestique

 

[Climbing]

Whole peloton got back, they had to slow down, breakaway at over 2 min and a half, let's see what happens on the Manghen.

Nothing unless Astana wants to ride.

 

[DanielSong39]

It's now or never for Yates and Lopez

Hope at least one of them is feeling like a million dollars today

Which is almost a given.

 

[fantomas]

Mikkel Honoré just said on Danish Eurosport he heard Astana will attack on Manghen,

 

[ice&fire]

TGBM is bored

 

[sir fly]

Italian audience and hardcore international viewers have been treated with an early teaser, and now the worldwide kickoff.

"He doesn't want to attack 100k out then explode at the end, that's not going to impress anyone, there's no point attacking on this climb and losing everything, he could win the stage today"

Well it would impress me
