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

[BlueRoads]

The Quickies seem determined to make as leisurely a pace as possible today. Maybe someone else who wants to win the race should call them out, or everyone scared of the coming days?

Quickbots?

This is a bit ahead but Stage 20 route will need to be re-shuffled... I really hope the organizers find some way to still do the climbs and weather holds, somehow:

There is no way around Briancon with those climbs. No chance.

Yeah it’ll have to be scrapped and a new route planned. I hope they pleasantly surprise us, but it’ll probably just be double Sestriere.

Bondone being led by the leader's team sprinter.

Oh great.

Probably just double Sestriere, I doubt that the Finestre road is in such great conditions that they can use it on short notice.

Considering they could've seen the French cockblock from one Paris-Roubaix away, not the smartest move to wait that long

Almeida always with his head high like he can't breathe.

It was obvious that this was gonna happen. Can't believe they did not work on Finestre during the last week. A huge failure by the Giro.

Pernsteiner virtual #3 now

 

[ice&fire]

I'm just wondering what will happen with the other GT stage on French roads this weekend

 

[Red Rick]

Pernsteiner virtual #3 now

The GC guys are all more occupied by The Trophy Cabinet

Nah you can see Bora nudging up the bunch as Majka starts to panic about his top 5

I fear the worst.

If they finish in Formigal again I don't quite believe it will be the spectacle it was the last time.

or maybe Moncenisio like in 2009

Descend into Sestriere make it happen.

According to the polish commentators Majka is having gastrointestinal issues. So eventual panic may have different roots.

 

[richwallone]

No one is challenging Guerreiro for KOM points... As expected

 

[Gigs_98]

What are you people talking? No gc attacks yet? Are you all blind? Don't you feel the Pern yet

Ah the Dumoulin

 

[Skalman]

Will atleast Fuglsang attack today?

 

[Red Rick]

Pernie pros unite

 

[Samu Cuenca]

That would probably only had happened, if neither him nor Visconti had been in the break.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Brilliant move by Pernsteiner. He hasn't exactly exhausted himself at the front, yet he is now on the podium.

 

[BlueRoads]

just beautiful
