That is one exceptionally terrible breakaway for a mountain stage.

Came in with the gruppetto yesterday which was a clear sign he isn't healthy.
I don't think cycling is the only sport testing athletes for COVID, but it's one of the few where it's made public when a rider tests positive. And I'm pretty sure they only test whenever a rider's got symptoms.

Really pathetic racing by teams like Movistar, Ag2r, DSM, Isreael etc. (you could name half of the peleton)
All those teams have no business doing everything else today other then go into the break. But they are backing Leknessund, Rubio, Paret-Peintre from the favourite group
Don't know what they are smoking. New maglia rosa today (probably Remco).

Fuga Froomone?
Jokes aside, tomorrow ain't much better for the breakaway with all the flat early on, so I hoped for a better breakaway today.

At least Rubio has a good kick in an uphill sprint, but still...
Really don't know what the teams see in this profile that they don't want to attack. The last climb is classic satellite rider territory and with the flat start you could throw basically anyone in the break.

I think that many teams though that today was not a good day for break, but tomorrow is. So they choosed to keep energy for tomorrow

The last time they did this stage a large break containing Masnada had 8 minutes before the final climb(s) and got nowhere near winning. If even he can't win from a break here then nobody can

Riccitello isn't at his best, so can't be send into the breakaway. Clark went yesterday. Leknessund is in pink. Paret-Peintre sits 3rd on the general classification and wouldn't be allowed in the breakaway. Paul Lapeira already is out due to illness. Arguably AG2R could've send Prodhomme though.
Frankly the only question is why neither Dombrowski nor Battistella are in the breakaway.
Oh and Rubio could actually be a factor as a general classification rider. We don't know how weak or strong he is. Looked fine in Asturias. Got beaten by Fortunato though.

I like the name of the final climb: Gran Sasso d'Italia = Italy's Big Rock.

They have no consideration for it being a weekend (night) for Australian viewers.

Wow this breakaway is pathetic. Wonder what kind of attacks we will see to gain time early on Campo Imperatore.
