Giro d'Italia 2020, stage 10: Lanciano – Tortoreto 177 km

Break is doomed. Shame. Chapeau to Sagan for making todays race.

Not necessarily. As soon as they hit the climbs, things could change.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

3 mins looking pretty a little dicey for the break given how much effort they expended earlier.

If someone else decides to help UAE it's definitely closable

I doubt it will be closed completely, at some point the attacks start, incl. from UAE.

Just bumped in.
Luckily it tends to be an exciting finale just as I hoped for.
The locals should think of turning this stage route into a classic.

Man, Sagan is really dedicated today

Isn't T-A usually in this region?

 

[Red Rick]

Fabbro gonna close down 2 minutes to help out his leader Sagan.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Those time gaps are on point as always.

And NTT doing sensible teamwork. Has the world gone mad?

2 mins with 40k is going to be hard to defend. You'd think they'll get it to comfortably sub 1min before the final climbing and it's going to be bridgeable by anyone who hits it hard.

Sagan won't need to finish solo though, he just needs to be within touching distance heading into the descent on top of the final climb.

Fulgsang-kind of situation

True, but do you think he outkicks Ulissi after all this work? I'd not be surprised if he couldn't

 

[Red Rick]

I also think the pace in the peloton in the flat parts inbetween won't be crazy high

 

[Broccolidwarf]

I see Restrepo playing possum, I wonder if he is cracking or if he is cheating them all later on.

I think Ulissi won't make it if there's GC battle.

 

[Keram]

Does Sagan know there are no points for him ?

 

[Eclipse]

Sagan suffering but this is some great climbing from him

I love a good side shot when the angle really is this serious. None of that fake tilt the camera nonsense needed

 

[skippo12]

Perfect opportunity to try something in the short technical descents but Trek is nowhere to be seen. They drilled it in every single descent so far but of course they won´t do it when they can actually gain an advantage.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Pozzovivo forcing the gruppo

 

[Red Rick]

Those cars

 

[Eclipse]

Ganna fired up the motors

 

[Red Rick]

"Vanhoucke feeling the Harm"

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Al most the old Sagan

 

[Broccolidwarf]

I'm starting to become a Ganna fan

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Small peloton, wet roads, hard day........ we may very well see some GC action.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Feeling pretty sorry for the break, they deserve to contest the win today
