Giro d'Italia 2020, stage 21: Cernusco sul Naviglio – Milano 15.7 km ITT

Lads, it's D day.

Technical Overview:
The last stage is again a short ITT, but unlike last year’s this one is pan flat, on long straights that will hugely favour specialists and cause some significant gaps. There is not much to talk about the route here. The stage starts in the outskirts of Milan and the only checkpoint will be at km 10.3, two thirds of the way and already in the city, which is a bit weird. The finish will be in front of the famous Duomo.

What to expect:
The last chance for everyone. Good gaps can still be made so the riders will have to give it their all. And then, finally, the podium and the trophy.

He is, but last TT Almeida put 1'20 into him in 30k. I think Almeida looked fresher today too (Bilbao's legs have to be running on pretty much empty at this point) and even if it's only 16k I think that's enough.
Last TT had some punchy climbs which (theoretically) favours Almeida, and Bilbao obviously is more experienced in dealing with the length of GTs. Agree that Almeida is still the favourite to take 4th on GC though.
