Giro d'Italia 2020, Stage 17: Bassano del Grappa – Madonna di Campiglio 203 km

Pozzovivo's three best climbers in the break

 

[SafeBet]

Yeah gap is already over 3'30".
We're lucky Pernsteiner is in the break, otherwise peloton would probably stop for a shot of grappa.

 

[Eclipse]

A lovely helicopter shot of riders stopping to piss off the mountain.

Surely this breakaway means Pozzovivo wants to attack on Bondone

Surely this breakaway means Pozzovivo wants to attack on Bondone

Or they all found out that the team is really folding andd everyone is just racing for a contract.

 

[Eclipse]

Peloton riding again after letting it out to over 4 mins. Keeping the gap sub 5 for now

 

[Climbing]

Giro is over tomorrow, so maybe someone could try today too, time is running out.

I feel like I have been reading the sentence "Giro is over tomorrow" the last month.

Is Stelvio definitely on tomorrow?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It is actually a nice looking mountain. I could do without the RAI commercial breaks though.

 

[Eclipse]

I don't really know why Quickstep are riding. It's not like Pern is an actual threat and keeping the break in this sort of distance surely makes life easier for Pozzo if he wanted to attack rather than harder.

For sure, but this time is literal.
Sure you can attack on flat roads too, so you never know.

 

[Eclipse]

Stunning scenery <3

Roadside snow on the forecella

 

[Red Rick]

Kelderman taking pink today would be the worst thing for tomorrow

The Giro is over on Sunday.

It looks dangerous. I'm surprised that Vegni hasn't stopped the stage yet.

 

[Rollthedice]

With all the bad rumours about stage 20, today some need to throw the kitchen sink and some bags at the top 3.

 

[Giro1914]

Well there goes Scinto in blue

Is Stelvio definitely on tomorrow?

It looks like it is... Stelvio is full of snow, temps will be around 0°C tomorrow on the top of the pass, mostly sunny so a bit warmer in the sun but roads clear of snow ready to be ridden

It's in the bag

Pozzovivo's three best climbers in the break

Does it mean that he'll have a puncture right before attack or will be simply dropped by Oomen?

 

[MrTea1976]

That's an excellent castle and view.

Hatch spreading rumours in commentary that it may not be so. Quite how he thinks that he has overheard the motocam riders while he is socially distanced in Majorca is anyone's guess.

 

[Eclipse]

Describing Zakarin by the way he is wearing his clothes always seems ridiculous

Why not just describe him as the man who looks like he's riding a shopping trolley? He's impossible to mistake
