Giro d'Italia 2022 Giro d'Italia, Stage 20: Belluno – Marmolada 168 km (Saturday, May 28th)

[Mayomaniac]

Belluno is a nice small town, great food.
I would havegone Belluno-Arabba with Cibiana from the western side, Giau from Cortina, Fedaia-Pordoi and a downhill finish in Arabba after a technical descent with 34 hairpins.

 

[Mayomaniac]

It's starting to rain.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

It's starting to rain.

The forecast for today is much better (drier) now than it was yesterday evening

 

[sir fly]

The stream I watch comes five minutes behind the events on the road.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Did dries de bondt drop himself?

 

[sir fly]

Bahrain putting men at the front.
Getting interesting.

 

[Tim Cahill]

It's good this.

 

[HelloDolly]

Wout Poels dropped this early ???

 

[Netserk]

Splits in the peloton.

Composition of the break:

 

[Fantastico]

The gap is getting smaller, I think it's still not done that this is the group of the day.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pozzo is done, poor bastard

Edit: back on, not looking good though

Pozzo is done, poor bastard

Edit: back on, not looking good though

he was struggling early on the past two days as well, and did alright in the end. So maybe it's mainly the very high pace on the flat which is a problem for him

Splits in the peloton.

Composition of the break:

No Bahrain or Astana. No action on the first two climbs?

 

[HelloDolly]

I honestly think Adam Blythe knows noting about GC racing
Talks soem rubbish all the time

 

[sir fly]

What kind of fish hides in these lake waters we're watching this week?
Trout? Huchen?

 

[Red Rick]

Ineos will be extremely happy to give this break 25 minutes.

 

[Fantastico]

No Bahrain or Astana. No action on the first two climbs?

Bahrain has Novak in the group

 

[search]

Novak is really strong on those longer, high altitude climbs. Will be interesting to see if he can go for the stage win or if it's all for Landa. If no one else keeps it under control, I'd say Novak maybe even has a better chance to win

 

[Sestriere]

Who can tell Blythe that riders can literally stop at the side of the road to wait for their captains and they don't have to ride at full speed and just hope to be caught?

 

[Netserk]

First phase is over, and it's getting wetter. Pellegrino starts with 104.5 km to go.

 

[Netserk]

Bahrain pulls in the peloton! (Or is it a false tempo?)

 

[Climbing]

Thankfully, go LANDANI!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Landismo vive

 

[sir fly]

Bahrain with a game plan definitely.
Landa was sincere in the interview yesterday.

 

[Skijumper Roglic fan]

Maybe Landa and Hindley plus their teams will try to get to know if Carapaz has a bad day, today. Therefore, they‘d have to attack him early; even on Pellegrino, probably.

I hope for some early action…
