Giro d'Italia Giro d‘Italia 2024 Stage 20, Alpago-Bassano del Grappa, 184 km

[Brullnux]

Decathlon and INEOS are still just sitting there with a bunch of people. Useless teams.

UAE are drilling it, there's nothing they can do at the moment.

Nah I originally disliked Contador until 2011 Giro but was still pulling for Andy at the Tour. Being American and 2009 being my first Tour, Armstrong was of course the one that drew me into the sport, parents didn’t like Contador, and then add in Contador dropping Klöden like a sack of potatoes made the dislike even more.

I eventually accepted that Klodi was absolutely cooked on the Columbierre.

Middle aged man stood there with a flare, not handling the divorce well it seems

 

[Valv.Piti]

What a beast of a climb! Love this one

 

[Slavique Nuke]

What are they supposed to do. Not sure if they could go any faster than UAE right now.

Climbers can't go faster than UAE's rouleurs?

 

[gregrowlerson]

Was?

Yeah he's still hot.

 

[Landeirovic]

When Majka start pulling only Pogacar in wheel

 

[Squire]

Cadel Sanchez.

What an epic beatdown by Jimmy Janssens on this climb!

to attack with 80 km to go just to see Pog on their wheel smiling?

Italian Ventoux except better in every way

Looks like GC Zana is being found out.

So they attack when Pog still has six guys next to him. Are brought back and explode.

Depends on how hard they drill it doesn't it. The rouleurs can go missing, there's more than 80k of racing left, the first ascend is done in around 6k and the second is still coming. They might need these climbers later.

Connor Swift struggling to hold on, infernal pace being set obviously

 

[Salvarani]

How good is Laengen?!

Amazing

 

[SafeBet]

What an epic beatdown by Jimmy Janssens on this climb!

Seriously. Has he ever climbed at this level?

 

[Salvarani]

Zana in trouble already

 

[CleanCiclismo]

Crazy how quickly some people recover. Bjerg was looking like he was going to abandon the Giro just a few days ago, and today he's dropping some really decent riders as well as reducing the lead of the front group.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Would Pog respond to Arensman or PP bros?

 

[Froome]

How good is Laengen?!

Amazing

It's easy look good on this weak peloton/field.

Steinhauser would have had to abandon the Giro had it not been for the rest day, as he was sick. Also pretty amazing recovery.

Just shows you how easy it is to make time limits. Gruppeto's are glorified recovery rides

Seriously. Has he ever climbed at this level?

he occasionally has good climbing performances late in a GT, yeah. Unfortunately always when it doesn't matter at all.

Enjoying this meaningless pissing contest between Sanchez and Janssens, half-wheeling each other like Poulidor and Anquetil
