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

Mcnulty obviously had it in him to chase because he's looking alright in the group, just decided to drop off and save himself

The common UAE problem

 

[ice&fire]

Pretty dumb tactic, attack the most explosive GC guy in the race with a 1k sprint.

to get rid of UAE helpers once and forever!

 

[perico]

God forbid mentioning it, but the last leadout I remember that insane was Chechu Ruberia in 2001 on Alpe d’huez

If nothing else, much like he was at Sky/Ineos, Carapaz is infinitely more interesting than anybody else that Vaughters has had as a GC bid ever. He's probably attacked more than any Slipstream Sports GC bid since, what, Carthy in 2020? Beyond that, Christ knows.

It has been helped by Simon Yates being possessed by the spirit of Adam Yates, but nevertheless.

Lol Carapaz, at least leave a gap for Del toro to close…

 

[Andre]

Yates still alive

 

[Tim Cahill]

Carapaz needs to lose the wheel and let Del Toro close it

 

[iBanesto]

When you think about what Roglic meant to the development of Slovenian cycling - a nation of 2.1 million people - imagine what Del Toro will mean to the development of Mexican cycling - a nation of almost 130 million people.

Mexico has always had a great history in marathon/distance running and race walking until the early 2000's.

There is a lot of potential for them to be successful in endurance sports but there doesn't seem to be the investment required.

 

[Salvarani]

Del Toro cool as a cucumber atm

 

[Boehmand]

Yates is now trying to stick it to the two others - and he still has Wout ahead, Visma is truly going for it today.

I'm sure there's others since then. Thinking Ricco and Piepoli, or Porte setting up Froome

 

[dobrien]

It has never looked better for Simon Yates

I was calling Yates days ago; he's been gunning for this moment the whole race.

 

[nightowl]

Del Toro playing it much smarter than stage 16, closing attacks at his own pace instead of trying to accelerate

 

[Heston]

They are barepy gaining time on Harper.

 

[Froome]

Carapaz doesn't know to race with his head.

He should not respond to yates attack. Ridiculous.

 

[Poursuivant]

Grande Yates

 

[Boehmand]

Gee trying to bridge alone

 

[Cycling111]

Carapaz seems like Del Toro's domestique, closing all the gaps with Yates.

 

[YavorD]

Everything goes great for Gee tbh.
Some of them 3 is gonna blow big later.

 

[perico]

Del Toro is riding smart

 

[Tim Cahill]

Carapaz is riding like a fool, he needs to stop closing yates

 

[AnotherArmChair]

They need to set ahigh regualr pace

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

So Carapaz is riding for 2nd?

 

[Red Rick]

It has never looked better for Simon Yates

Things have never looked better for Derek Gee
