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

[SarahtheDane]

Oh my word this climb is just immense. Those hairpins glistening on the snow must sink their hearts as they approach them.

I actually get the urge to start cycling and do it in this beatiful landscape.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Ineos might want Dennis to stay with Tao for the descent and the valley before the final climb.

However, at the same time, he's still gaining time on all the other GC contenders while looking easy like that.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Nibali probably thinking: "Where the *** was that Novak when I was riding for Bahrain?"

 

[Forever The Best]

That's not 40 seconds lol.

 

[trevim]

yep, clearly ahead by about 1'20" on Almeida in GC...

Tough decision for Sunweb really, Hindley doesn't look like beating Tao for now...

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Brian Smith practically begging Sunweb to pull Hindley back.

 

[Inquitus]

Kelderman seems to be in big trouble shipping time steadily and not a long way to go to the top!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Also amazed that Bilbao, having done the Tour, is among the six best on this climb.

 

[Leinster]

There has to be a bit of a coming together on the descent, so how that shakes out will be a factor.

 

[KZD]

Incredible stuff today. Kelderman needs to limit his losses otherwise Tao Hart has a real shot of winning this.

 

[perico]

Nibali needs a different kind of bag, at this point one that you find in the clinic forums.

 

[F_Cance]

Nibali is so done. Even Novak is climbing on his level. Novak.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

#FreeDennis
He can easily take back two hours before the finish line.

The Pern's creeping up on Almeida.

 

[Bonimenier]

Odds on Kelderman crashing in the descent?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

It´s 2020. Can already predict the post race qoutes. Nibali was doing career best numbers on the climb. Same for Fuglsang. Rohan freaking Dennis just discovered his inner Pantani and dropped everyone.

I just want to hear one guy say yeah I sucked, I had no legs, seems like neither did any other established rider, so a bunch of third tier domestiques got to look like Pantani.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Danish commentators saying Majka's gear must be broken, since he is pushing a much too big one.

 

[Rollthedice]

Nibali is so done. Even Novak is climbing on his level. Novak.

He dropped Novak. Hope lives.

 

[spalco]

Kelderman seems to be in big trouble shipping time steadily and not a long way to go to the top!

He hasn't lost any time in a while. I think he's riding within his limits for now.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Somebody should tell the organizers that we are on the 21 sth. century and measuring gaps should be a piece of cake.

A piece of cake would propbaly do a better job.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Hindley vs Tao I guess.

If Dennis is in that Valley KElderman will lose minutes

 

[Colombianfan]

How long and steep is the final climb?

 

[Colombianfan]

How long and steep is the final climb?

 

[Red Rick]

Nibali is so done. Even Novak is climbing on his level. Novak.

I just wanna see climbing times amd fully expect Nibali to be Agnello 2016 level until ROFLcrack

 

[jarvo]

The Brian Smith drinking game. Drink every time he suggests Tao should attack or Hindley drop back to help Kelderman

There has to be a bit of a coming together on the descent, so how that shakes out will be a factor.

It's a crazy and technical descent... If Dennis makes it over with Tao these 3 might be gone until the finish... The rest I don't, it depends how crazy they are at descending...
