Giro d'Italia 2020, stage 18: Pinzolo - Laghi di Cancano 207 km

[jarvo]

Only 21 hairpins in the last climb to tackle as well

 

[spalco]

Gaps?

Who the *** knows. Apparently there are two seperate maglia rosa groups on the road.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

3 Australians up front

 

[seldon71]

Absolutely magnificent helper-rides. Dennis out of this planet, but also Domen Novak is really putting it into line.

 

[Krokro]

Just tuned in between tons of work. What the heck did Rohan Dennis have for breakfast!?

I don't know but this is ridiculous stuff, at least we get some action...

 

[damian13ster]

Tao doesn't look good. I don't see him getting 2 min on Keldermen. And if he doesn't get it, then Hindley most likely not allowed to go on his own

 

[Mayomaniac]

Wilco 17 seconds back, Almeida 1min 45 seconds.

 

[Leinster]

If Kelderman is isolated in the valley, I can see the Almeida group catching him, especially if QS can persuade Bora to pitch in.

So then it becomes a TT between the Almeida group and the Hart/Hindley group.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Honestly, good thing Tao bonked on the Etna, otherwise this wouldn't be nearly as tense.

 

[trevim]

Almeida pulling in a group with Masnada.... Oh well he can always ask Majka for a pull, surely he'll not be worse team mate than Masnada.

 

[saganftw]

Kelderman might win giro and somehow still dissapoint

 

[Anybody_but..]

Almeida doing Alaphilippe's TdF'2019

 

[Devil's Elbow]

If Kelderman is isolated in the valley, I can see the Almeida group catching him, especially if QS can persuade Bora to pitch in.

So then it becomes a TT between the Almeida group and the Hart/Hindley group.

The Nibali group is still in between, imagine Kelderman might drop back to them on the descent.

 

[SafeBet]

Rohan Dennis is a monster today.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Wilco 17 seconds back, Almeida 1min 45 seconds.

Nibali and Fuglsang somewhere in the middle, around 1 minute back.

 

[Scarponi]

God as an Australian this is freaking glorious

 

[Broccolidwarf]

If Fuglsang/Nibali are within 1 minute at the top, a 22 k descent may see them both get back on before the final climb.

Chances are the gap will be bigger though.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Rohan Dennis, Jai Hindley, Tao Geoghegan Hart and Ben O’Connor appear to be the four strongest climbers at the Giro. I don’t want to see anybody arguing that the level here is anything other than aberrantly low.

 

[Anybody_but..]

If Ineos wins this race I'm gonna Puke!

Yes, amazing team.

 

[richwallone]

OMG, that view of the snow covered Stelvio wall... Still a long way to go...

 

[craigmalone]

Surely Dennis doesn't have long left. Bit ridiculous he's still climbing like that here.

 

[Forever The Best]

Ineos or Hindley over Kelderman any day. Kelderman is not even among the 2 strongest riders in the race.

 

[killswitch]

Almeida better not look up to the hairpins above.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Nibali and Fuglsang somewhere in the middle, around 1 minute back.

And freaking Domen Novak pacing the Nibali-Bilbao group, unexpected.

 

[Leinster]

Is Rohan Dennis going to take the Cima Coppi?
