If Pellizarri can jump to the front group and make up more than a minute in less than 2-3km I don't want to imagine how much time Pog can put into the rest if he really tries.

Bora can be happy with getting Pellizarri for next year.
Perhaps he can go for a good result today with his teammate up at the front.

Peloton slowed down during the climb. It's not that uncommon to push a bit harder the first half and then slow down a bit to keep your numbers.

Pellizzari climbed it in 55'30"

Quintana climbed Monte Grappa in 55:03 s, 5.99 w/kg. Good ascent by pellizzari.

He stuck with Nairo and Alaphilippe down Sella tbf, left a lot of others behind
The misconception comes from last year's TotA. At that time Pellizzari was very scared to descend especially in wet conditions because he had crashed a few weeks earlier in training, taking down some of his teammates in the process.

Fast forward to l'Avenir and he was already descending at a normal level.

Quintana is the full climb, they don't go all the way today
