I'm happy he got in the break today. That's his best shot at a top10 in my opinion, especially if Pog keeps giving breaks some room.

Giro is long. To make the first 10 days without major crash and in the top 20 is already an achievement which could set him up nicely for a top 10 if things go well. We still didn't hit the stages with multiple hard climbs yet.Still 15th in GC despite gaining almost 2 mins
no need to get too close to Pogi just yetStill 15th in GC despite gaining almost 2 mins
I would not think so - follow the GC favourites and hope some guys have a bad day.There is live in the old dog yet
In the break again maybe ?
Yes, it was bad.All things considered, it was n't a bad performance by Pozzovivo - infact it could have been a lot worse! Anyway, barring the weather messing things up, it's time to get climbing in the mountains.
Well, its a little bit under 6min. Crazier stuff has happened with hitting the right break.I think top10 is now over. Lost contact to main group with 15km to go.![]()
He's a great guy to chat with, even if he's a bit shy.Had a quick chat with him this morning.
He told me he's been sick the past couple of days after feeling great until Thursday.
He's aiming at a top10 and hopes he's recovered today so he can hang with the GC riders as long as possible.
If he feels better after the rest day he'll try to hit the break again in the third week.
Yeah if he's healthy again after the rest day it's not impossible.Well, its a little bit under 6min. Crazier stuff has happened with hitting the right break.
His best GC finish since the 2019 Tour of Oman!4th on GC at Tour of Slovenia so still showing the kids how to do it! Chapeau!![]()
