Giro d'Italia 2020, Stage 4: Catania – Villafranca Tirrena 140 km

[skippo12]

Bye Bye Gaviria.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Hodeg and Viviani also dropped.

 

[SafeBet]

Any word on the wind situation in the final 40km?

20 km/h from NW is what I'm reading.

You have missed out on the Contador years.

His threads got more pages than the earth has had post christ

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Demare sliding in the group but still there

 

[skippo12]

Slightly more difficult climb and Yates would be dropped. Already at the back of the peleton.

Edit: He trolled me and moved up.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Rain incoming for the descent

Was gonna say It would be funny to see a sprinter train Yates off the back on a mountain

 

[gerundium]

time for the shark to swim on the descent

 

[Breezy1985]

Rain incoming for the descent

2 man break on the wet descent from Sagan and the shark coming up

 

[Bolder]

Demare sliding in the group but still there

He can climb a little bit, not quite on Matthews/Sagan level but when needed he can haul himself up there. We shall see.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Damp descent is going to help the dropped sprinters get back

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Show the peloton ffs so we can see who is still there

 

[spalco]

What's this "red zone" statistic they are showing in the graphics, how would they know that a rider's "red zone" is?

Depends. I don´t think the peleton will go all out. If the dropped sprinters are willing to take more risks they actually have an advantage.

 

[Red Rick]

The Shark is in open waters

Evacuate the beach

They've bought the data out for a day.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Demare made it at the back of the group

 

[Red Rick]

Nibs looks at teammate in disgust

 

[Bolder]

slippery descent, hope no one hits the deck hard.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Pellaud taking zero chances on the wet corners

 

[Velolover2]

Demare got this. Best sprinter train in the Giro.

 

[Lexman]

Any word on the wind situation in the final 40km?

Thijs Zonneveld said on twitter says there's a sidewind...

 

[Velolover2]

Any chances of crosswinds when they hit the coast?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Pozzo's style on the bike has just gotten worse as he's aged. And I love him, admire his fighting spirit, but he's always looked awkward. Would love to see a top 5 as a reward for recovering from that horrible crash.

Yes! I'm definitely rooting for Pozzovivo this Giro.
