Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025 stage 20: Verrès – Sestrière, 205 km

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Did Pedersen just shred Verona?

Edit: no just hanging on.

 

[Boehmand]

Pedersen now giving his last to destroy the break

 

[Boehmand]

Verona not having fun

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Wout dropped

 

[Tim Cahill]

Van Aert has 1h10, probably a bit more, to do the climb alone

 

[Red Rick]

Van Aert to do under 5W/kg and then reappear in the camera view on top of Finestre.

 

[ppanther92]

Just tuning in - is this break some sort of bad joke?

 

[Boehmand]

Wout dropped

Might be on purpose, more important to not go into red than sticking with the break, so that he can help Simon later.

 

[Salvarani]

Bilbao probably waiting to assist Caruso later I would think

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pedersen with the dumbest pull yet, just told everyone his teammate was in the bin,

 

[Boehmand]

Verona just told Pedersen to slow down - should have done so earlier

 

[Salvarani]

Lidl fail

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Looks like a long day for verona

Well, if Verona is so bad, anyway no strategy to win him this. But sure, no need to pull then either.

 

[Tim Cahill]

My boy Remy Rochas looking resplendent on the pedals, would've won that stage last weekend if he didn't have to come from so deep in the bunch.

Mads came back to collect him and is now pouring water on him, what a champ

 

[titan31]

Be interesting how it looks like when the peloton gets here.

Heat is probably going to play a bigger role here than attacks

 

[Salvarani]

Why is Pedersen just not going for the stage himself at this point?

 

[Boehmand]

Lidl fail

It's probably a function of Verona not being an experienced protected rider - he's probably more likely to go into red than asking his captain to slow down.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Verona should help his leader instead of forcing him do all the work on his own.

 

[Boehmand]

Well, if Verona is so bad, anyway no strategy to win him this. But sure, no need to pull then either.

Better than just riding groupetto all day - if you don't try you never win anything.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Its just a bit of TV time.

 

[Boehmand]

Why is Pedersen just not going for the stage himself at this point?

No chance against real climbers probably

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Full gas right away

 

[Boehmand]

Pedersen has zero chance on this stage, they have clearly been riding for Verona all day.

I am missing Konrad on these stages, but he seems to be in bad shape.
