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

[Tigerion]

That looked like Hart asking Hindley for help and him refusing

 

[Scarponi]

Imagine the Agnello tomorrow. Sigh

 

[richwallone]

Hindley should attack if he has the legs. This chance may never come to him again.

I wish he did that but he won't be allowed to do it. I think Sunweb wants him to just wing the stage and claim bonus seconds away from Tao.

 

[Eclipse]

Ah Wilco 5% in the red since the start

 

[damian13ster]

Sunweb stuck between a rock and a hard place here. As of now Tao has about 60s deficit to Kelderman. Who knows if he can take out in stage 20 and ITT? But if you release Hindley, then good luck getting two of them to cooperate on stage 20

 

[trevim]

Scarponi did nothing most of the day?

I don't remeber what Scarponi did precisely but I remember Contador was all over the place already by the top of Giau some 80km out. Then Nibali descending like crazy, Nieve quietly after Garzelli... Probably my favourite stage ever.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

bilbao droppel like 3 hours ago lmao. crazy race

Winner of the Carlos Sastre award for the day for sure.

 

[johnymax]

Hindley should attack now

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Imagine the Agnello tomorrow. Sigh

We could also have had snow all week and both Agnello and Stelvio cancelled. Glass half full

 

[Krokro]

So sad that the 20th original stage is gone...

BTW Bilbao doing very great to ensure his 3rd spot. It's between those 4 unless Wilco breaks down on Saturday/Sunday.

 

[Carols]

Come on Bilbao !!!!

 

[glassmoon]

Wilco might've been dropped to Maglia Rosa

 

[Mayomaniac]

Winner of the Carlos Sastre award for the day for sure.

Sastre on the Zoncolan in 2010 was just crazy in that regard.

 

[ppanther92]

Keldermann on the top of Stelvio +0.47, Keldermann on the foot of the last climb +1:54, Keldermann now +1:38.

I hope this decision to let him ride alone vs. Tao with Dennis will not haunt Sunweb in the end . Because climbing wise he seems to do fine.

 

[Leinster]

Hindley riding as advised by his team, not helping Tao... Because of that Bilbao might come back and steal it from them both

When Bilbao catches them, he will/should probably go right over the top.

When that happens, Hindley needs to wait for him to get a gap over Tao. And then jump across when he's sure Tao can't.

 

[Saint Unix]

Pace has evened out between the groups now.

 

[ruamruam]

The excitement has gone out of Brian Smith’s voice. He seems deflated

 

[richwallone]

Tao and Hindley got this... Bilbao won't bridge over, the top of the climb is too close...

 

[King Boonen]

When Bilbao catches them...

If.

There’s only 1.2k of the climb left and he’s 42s behind.

 

[Mayomaniac]

I have to say that nearly all the fans are well behaved and keeping their distance, I only saw 2 or 3 idiots running alongside the riders until now.

 

[42x16ss]

Keldermann on the top of Stelvio +0.47, Keldermann on the foot of the last climb +1:54, Keldermann now +1:38.

That's because Hart wants to be sure of the stage win first, which is stupid

 

[carton]

Tao finally decided to push it. Might have lost the Giro in that round of Poker.

 

[Leinster]

If.

Yeah, it's looking less and less likely.

Yep, been good to see that.
