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

STOP LOOKING AT EACH OTHER

 

[Boehmand]

It's clear that he wanted the 1st and was ready to give up the 2nd place. It's Del Toro that has been giving up on the 1st place.

They can share the blame, but at this point Carapaz is clearly giving up 2nd out of spite.

This is all very stupid.

1‘20 faster than Pablo Torres with full gas from the bottom, not that impressive

 

[Boehmand]

They both seem like they have given up and are now content playing games with each other

 

[Tim Cahill]

Oh please... the record was hold from a 18 years old kid.

On a 100k stage where they walked up to the climb, this is stage 20 of a GC

 

[Froome]

Derek Gee will pull for him, too?

Probably will pull for pogacar, since he pulled for del toro.

 

[Potomac]

What is 2nd to Carapaz?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

But they are like 2 minutes behind??

Might have been sarcasm.

 

[Heston]

Van Aert 5th over the top. Only 7 of the 30 breakaway riders made the top before Yates.

Good ride by Wout.

 

[AmRacer]

Toro channels his inner Dumoulin

Too impressive for Del Toro and Carapaz

Now imagine what's coming in the summer by Visma.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Most hilarious scenario would be UAE coming back and Adam Yates closing the gap to make his brother lose.

and yet ever moaner on here will be regaling us about how awful the standard of this Giro is ...sigh

 

[iBanesto]

If only Del Toro had Juan domestique with him now

Ayuso riding for anyone...

 

[Red Rick]

This Van Aert draft is also just so big lol.

How is everyone so much better now? 5 minutes faster than Froome in 2018 and Contador in 2015.

Toro channels his inner Dumoulin

I don't think taking a dump will help him, although losing weight could be advantageous.

 

[CatchyH]

I know he's well liked but not seeing very little criticism of Del Toro's riding especially compared to Carapaz is surprising. He completely bottled it today regardless of whether he had the legs or not. He didn't even try to win this Giro. I understand not having the legs but he's done absolutely nothing to defend his jersey today.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Don't do it Timo

They can share the blame, but at this point Carapaz is clearly giving up 2nd out of spite.

How do you arrive at this conclusion, he has been working most of the time on the climb, he just could neither drop del Toro, not pull back any time to Yates.
IMO the best explanation isn't spite but being dead. As if they'd just throw it away like this.
The problem isn't Carapaz, it's del Toro refusing to work for most of the time.

Sponge Bob may still be required for domestique duties later: to wipe up some tears.

Stupid gamble by Del Toro and will leave the giro as a result of it.

Yates struggled at San Pellegrino, but UAE decided to wait for Ayuso, knowing he was in bad shape.

And today they didn't know how to advise him.

Del Toro had a bad stage, but he's very young. The team shouldç ve advised him better.
Why do they have an earpiece?
