Giro d'Italia 2020, stage 12: Cesenatico - Cesenatico 204 km

[Red Rick]

Gotta say Pozzovivo is probably leaving it way too late

 

[trevim]

I hope I'm not cursing him but it looks like Almeida will keep the jersey until the TT now. Very well, he's done as best as possible; obviously the routed helped a lot but there were still a couple of hard stages to handle and he did well.

 

[Krokro]

I guess NTT underestimated the work to reel the breakaway by themselves. I just hope he will still try something in one of the last hills after all that work done.

 

[RedheadDane]

What kept you for so long?
It's NTT-Pozzo show and you're nowhere to be seen?

I was at work.

 

[spalco]

Campenaerts is a monster, or is the GPS wonky again?

edit: confused chasing group 2 with the peloton.

 

[HelloDolly]

What is all this about Fuglsang and husbands ?

any link

 

[sir fly]

I was at work.

What were you doing more important than this spectacle?
Conquering Iceland?
Grenland?
POLAND?!

 

[skippo12]

I expect massive gaps on the weekend. Terrible weather combined with a hard pace in the last few days takes a lot out of the riders. Wouldn´t be suprised to see even more 3rd week collapses this year.

 

[spalco]

Honestly, the northern adriatic coast durning late autumn/winter is pretty much always unpleasant.

Yeah, but in June it's a different matter.

Cleaning... why would I conquer Poland?

But anyway... back on topic; I'm so glad I'm not in Italy, riding my bike ride now!

 

[Carols]

Fuglsang descending like old lady Ivan Basso

Beats descending like Wiggins

 

[JosefK]

GC group raising the white flag?

For what? Apart from giving us a great stage there is no logic in NTT's action.

It's going out like a wet candle anyway. His team needed to blow it up just earlier to attack on the Pugliano and then hope a group gets away

 

[JosefK]

Wiggo worries the cold might shut down the combat.

 

[Rollthedice]

GC group raising the white flag?

As soon as Campenaerts hit the front it was clear the break will take it.

 

[broppo]

Wiggins is actually pretty interesting to listen to, unlike Eisel lol

 

[RedheadDane]

Beats descending like Wiggins

What about descending like Zakarin?

 

[Red Rick]

As soon as Campenaerts hit the front it was clear the break will take it.

Break was gonna take it as soon as they took 10 minutes peloton isn't gonna take back 1 minute 3km of climbing all race.

 

[spalco]

Has Pernsteiner made it back to the group? Didn't see him earlier.

 

[trevim]

Ruben Guerreiro looks be back to his last year's Vuelta shape, top20 climber right there. Could be a helping hand for Almeida perhaps

 

[Krokro]

Wiggins is actually pretty interesting to listen to, unlike Eisel lol

Yeah I just hate the way he is behaving, like a convict or biker from a gang. I mean, he's playing it too "cool guy", but that's a personal opinion.

 

[Juan Pelota]

Just tuning in, what the f is going on?

I thought this might be a day for Sagan, where is he? When did the Peloton widdle down ?

 

[Rollthedice]

This climb looks nasty.

 

[RedheadDane]

So, if either of the front duo wins, every current WT rider from their respective countries will have a GT stage win.
