Giro d'Italia 2020, stage 16: Udine › San Daniele del Friuli (229k)

[Samu Cuenca]

Tratnik has bigger thighs, so he should be the better sprinter.

You called it!

 

[Pantani_lives]

Tears of happiness from the Slovenian?

 

[Eclipse]

Very nice ride from Tratnik at least

 

[spalco]

Big win, very deserved. Congrats Tratnik.

 

[italoc]

Good to finally see a Slovenian winning after a tough season for them.

 

[Carols]

Chapeau Tratnik! He earned that for 70KM.

 

[richwallone]

Tratnik has bigger thighs, so he should be the better sprinter.

And looks like he was the better climber, too... Slovenians are killing it this year!!!

 

[Laplaz]

What a ride by Tratnik!

 

[trevim]

Looking forward to hear Warbasse analysis of Tratnik's win.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Brilliant ride from Tratnik, surely this secures him a contract?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Team NTR...

 

[johnymax]

Fantastic Tratnik! Well deserved. Biggest victory of his career.

 

[sir fly]

Capital victory for Tratnik.
Battled out harder than it looked half an hour ago.
Congrats to O'Connor for the return in contention, but took plenty out of him.

And not the effort to underestimate from Malecki for the podium.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

What a stage!
Chapeau for the breakaway to deliver. And a very convincing Tratnik - congrats!
Wow!
That's how cycling races should be.

Vuelta stage may finish before the Giro peloton

Fiveish Ks.

 

[Escarabajo]

LOL. As expected. Riders are afraid of what is to come.

 

[Red Rick]

Pacing of this three stages was always one of the weak parts of the Giro route. And it showed today.

But soft pedaling today might mean a more interesting race tomorrow. Very curious to see what can happen on the Bondone. That side is nasty (I think the entire Tour might have only had one harder climb - Loze - funny that it is only an afterthought at the Giro).

Surely Bondone isn't harder than Col de la Madeleine

 

[RedheadDane]

That moment when the break is so far ahead, there's an ambulance chasing the last men from the break.

 

[titan31]

Fair fecks to him. Nice attack by Almeida

 

[richwallone]

GC riders gonna race for seconds in the last one K...

 

[gunara]

Good to finally see a Slovenian winning after a tough season for them.

Yeah Mohorič could only get so close, and Polanc has forgottable season, they need more Valjavec.

 

[trevim]

Almeida riding Tropea/Contador style. Funny kid, the style in undeniable even if he pays for it like a boss tomorrow

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Nibali surprisingly good for this kind of finish.
