2019 Giro d'Italia, stage 6: Cassino - San Giovanni R. 238km

[SafeBet]

Nobody in their right mind would give Jungels a 5 minute lead with 2 TTs still to come and the chance a couple hard stages are cancelled/altered because of the bad weather.
This guy has been twice in the Giro top10, both times less than 10 minutes behind the winner.

Jumbo Visma has done little work thus far. I can see them unloading the jersey, but not to someone like Jungels or Formolo. It'd be very risky.

It would be nice to see Carboni or one of the Androni guys in the Maglia Rosa.

Jungels can lose 5 minutes in one stage and won't do better in the ITT than any of the 4 main GC guys left apart from maybe MAL

The reason I wouldn't give him the time is simply cause it's not that much of an effort to not give him that much time.

Lots of tired faces and patched up riders, I would bet on a breakaway win.
Plus I guess Roglic and mostly Yates, will be more interested in tomorrow stage.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

A lot of riders should be eyeing the maglia rosa here as they could keep it for a few days. Conti and Cattaneo are my picks for the maglia rosa, and Conti is a good bet for the stage win as well.

Tomorrow I think the big work will be on UAE shoulders for Ulissi, this time will be almost sure that there won't be faster riders so he's the overwhelming favourite.

At least it's not raining at the start!

 

[Lequack]

It's nice to see that Roglic is growing out his beard again.

After 12 km of racing, the peloton is still together. Head and sidewinds are blowing.

(? What?!)

238km? In 1993 I recall taping on my VHS recorder Fabio Roscioli winning in a 200km+ solo breakaway in a Tour stage of 286km that finished in Marseille. Now that was long!

"We're hearing that race leader Primoz Roglic was involved in the crash. No news on how he's doing." From Cyclingnews.

Roglic and Majka 40 seconds back. But the first group is waiting.

Majka & Roglic went down - the voodoo is now in effect!

Not sure he went down, maybe only delayed by the crash. Anyway, since the beginning of this Giro the question about when and how the voodoo will strike again are more exciting than the race itself.

 

[Robert5091]

Ouch!

There were 6. Now there's 4. I have the feeling that some of them will be a bit knackered even before San Marino.

That would make for a good poster if you were a teenage woman.

I'm sure he was referring to MAL.

According to Rai also Landa and Zakarin crashed, mattanza

Nibali is even making Teejay crash across the pond in California. So strong is the voodoo.
