Giro d'Italia 2020, Stage 5: Mileto – Camigliatello Silano 225 km

[Rollthedice]

I honestly wouldn't mind 70K+ ITTs.

Side note, after Nibali, who's the next Italian rider who can win the Giro?

Not born yet.

 

[Red Rick]

Not born yet.

One day, he'll be Great Britains Fred Perry until the Italian Andani Murari comes along

 

[Ted Striker]

Ineos will stick him on a diet now and convert him into a GC rider ...

As they should

 

[Keram]

Great win for Ganna. Dull stage overall. At least for Giro standards. Reminds me good old Tour.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Fabian once destroyed the field on the Bonette Restefond. The same season where he also won TdS and almost won the stage to Crans-Montana iirc. And ofcourse he won a less mountainous edition of Tirreno as well.

Ganna winning this stage is not that hard to fathom considering the easy gradients and the cold weather.

 

[repre]

Yates avoided further damage, good for him as next GC battle will be at stage 9, so he has plenty of time to recover.

 

[SafeBet]

McNulty and Knox lost more than 2 minutes.

 

[Forever The Best]

Great win by Ganna.

 

[Bolder]

Yates avoided further damage, good for him as next GC battle will be at stage 9, so he has plenty of time to recover.

He nearly got dropped near the top but assume he caught back on. Even so, that is the kind of climb he should have cruised up so something is still off...

He did get dropped but he wasn't far behind.

 

[dgodave]

This mtn was what, less that 6% grade? Cant see Ganna surviving the 10% climbs, but who knows. Excellent race by Ganna today.

 

[SafeBet]

On a side note: Meintjes failed to cement his 19th place today.
He lost 28'47".

 

[jmdirt]

Yes, another win from a break! LOVE IT!
Ganna has pretty good legs as of late!

 

[Oliver]

Strong by Ganna. With still 2 timetrials to go, he can win 4 times this Giro..

Damn that's ruined the race for me...............

 

[Red Rick]

Hot take.

There's also 13 road stages left.

 

[movingtarget]

Ineos stage hunters this season. More of the same in the Vuelta ?

 

[BlueRoads]

I'm confused. Is Ganna the new Evenepoel although Almeida's in pink DQS kit?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Italy 3 (Ganna 2)
World 2

 

[TourOfSardinia]

On a side note: Meintjes failed to cement his 19th place today.
He lost 28'47".

Too much camera time did it.

 

[Velolover2]

Tony Martin and Fabian Cancellara weren't bad on these kinds of stages either.

I don't think he is the new Dumoulin just a versatile time trialist who has the engine to win breakaway stages and hilly TTs as well.

 

[tobydawq]

Louis Meintjes to cement 19th position.

Awful prediction. He lost half an hour!

Okay, I was late to the party.

 

[Lexman]

De Gendt : All but Einer Rubio

 

[Anderis]

Polish commentators keep pronouncing Vanhoucke as if it was Van Hoecke. It made me really confused at one point hearing that Van Hoecke had been on the attack on Etna.

 

[Eclipse]

Too much camera time did it.

They do say the camera adds 10 pounds, That's a lot on a climbers body
