This reminds me of when Blel Kadri won a TDF stage out of a group of weak breakers no one cared to chase. Biggest meh feeling in cycling.
Steepest part of tomorrow is the final 500m so probably BIG ATTACKS
2020 Giro looks more and more like the weakest GT since probably decades. Hindley, Almeida, Nibali, Masnada nowhere near their top 10s from last year.
Especially considering how all that turned out. Contador never even won a stage again
Was really a underwhelming break, especially since it was rather clear that its one for the break. Lafay did well. 40s on such a short climb is huge but on the other hand also a direct result of the low climbing level among the other riders.
The last 1.5-2k of the stage are very steep so that could be enough if a rider attacks there to cause gaps and maybe drop Valter by 11-16 seconds but I'm expecting same as today with a breakaway win and nothing major in GC
For a second I really thought Bernal might take a whole second there.
FAUSTO MASNADA moving up on GC.
This race need landismo or contador or an on form Vincenzo. Bunch of wheelsuckers in the GC

Jai Hindley lost about 10 seconds today, that crash at the TOTA probably messed a bit with his prep.
Is there anyone here old enough to remember the last time Confidis won a GT stage
No. I was pooping in my diapers.
Probably a break will take it tomorrow too.
Climbs not that tough. I doubt much will happen.
Giro gotta be better at placing some more exciting stages on the weekend.

After such a hard fought start to the stage I can't feel too aggrieved that not much happened to end it.
Nice work from Lafay to take it.

They are too interested in making hipster breakaway stages to please strade bianche enthusiasts, and backlogging all the climbing to final week.
Yeah the route is not as successful this year imo. Giro has been much better designed in previous years.
Has there been a better sponsor in the sport than Cofidis ? They have been around forever. And stuck with the team through long periods of little success.
Cofidis' first Giro stage win since 2010.
But after 2010, their next appearance was half a year ago, so not that sensational...

Seems like they are just are waiting for the rest day and are content just to not loose time.
Can we fast forward to Wednesday please

Bala was a sprightly young 30 years old the last time they won
