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

What about descending like Zakarin?

Zaka actually makes lots of technical mistakes, I can't believe that his teams have never tried to work with him on his actual skills. He'll probably never be a great descender, but not putting your hands on the brake hoods would be already be a big improvement...

 

[trevim]

Well done Ruben Guerreiro....

 

[Keram]

Is he attacking or not? I am confused

 

[Eclipse]

That was the most token 'well my team worked so i need to do something' effort I have ever seen

 

[Rollthedice]

That Pozzo attack.

 

[broppo]

lol pozzo trying to drop everyone with 10 meters to go

 

[luckyboy]

Shame there isn't another climb to come. Too far from the finish and not long/hard enough to make real gaps there..

 

[Red Rick]

Even for Pozzovivo, that attack was unimpressive.

 

[Akuryo]

Masnada turned out to be a pretty good mid season acquisition so far. Quickstep had a few injuries with Stybar, Remco and Jakobsen (just to name the most prominent ones) and he filled the gap and then some. Great so see that Almeida still has 2 riders with him. I honestly didnt expect Quickstep so good in support.

Team working 100km and leader attacking on the last 500m of the last climb, gaining nothing.

Is this Jumbo?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Is he attacking or not? I am confused

He's attacking the assumption that attacks has to be either effective, daring or surprising

 

[HelloDolly]

The weather has done for this stage

 

[spalco]

Ah, that's unfortunate, poor guy.

It's worse, cause Roglic can actually do something in 500m.

 

[46&twoWheels]

more like Pozzomorto at the summit

 

[Mayomaniac]

Poor Padun. That said, they could have fixed some of those cracks and potholes...

 

[sir fly]

So unfortunate.
Not lost yet.

 

[saunaking]

this race is garbage

 

[HelloDolly]

NTT are fighting for a sponsor.... hence the show

In fairness to Pozzo no other rider could have made an attack today either

 

[italoc]

It's worse, cause Roglic can actually do something in 500m.

Bright side for Pozzo is that there is no Pogacar in the Giro (yet)

 

[tobydawq]

Okay, NTT's work must be for the long game. Tire out all these new guys, set up the third week.

 

[Eclipse]

Nibali with his 20th wardrobe change of the day

 

[Bonimenier]

I like how the rain makes it seem as if there are spectators clapping on the side of the road. Unusual sound these days.

 

[HelloDolly]

this race is garbage

Not compulsory to watch

 

[tobydawq]

If I was Almeida I would try an attack on the flat. There are barely a domestique left and the other big guys won't ride for the others.

 

[Krokro]

That was very disappointing after all the work that NTT has done for the whole stage..
