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

[QueenStagiaire]

I don‘t see how Simon loses this now unless WvA fucks it up

 

[Didinho]

So this was it. Impressive from Yates.

Hope they don’t take risks in the descent.

 

[Poursuivant]

Come on Yatesy

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Anyone who complains about cycling dont really understand when it is beautiful
Not about who has the greatest watts for me or who is the top

But on days like today when its about tactics and bravery

A 4-4 draw between Barcelona and Real Madrid might be a great match, but it won't make me cheer for either team.

 

[Red Rick]

these announcers are morons

you do not gain back time on Sestrieres. It is a slow bleed to the finish

If you've been holding back you can recover some time. Especially if you have a moron like Derek Gee who will pull no matter what

 

[Boehmand]

Unbeknownst to everyone, Verona is now 3rd on the road, 1.20 down on Harper and closing.

No longer closing when he got on the gravel, nevermind

 

[nightowl]

Yeah Yates has won this, he looks way better than the others

 

[Scarponi]

Del Toro should be dropped any second ?

 

[Jack_89]

Del Toro seems fading...

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Amazing stage and half the forums on here whining.No wonder this sport isn’t more popular. I love how on poster popped in to watch this and was like, This is why I don’t watch cycling anymore. This stage is fantastic; are yall insane?

• Game theory
• Bluffs
• Potential redemption for Yates on the Finestre
• A new legend in the making (or a near miss when all the stars aligned?) in Del Toro
• Attacks from the base of the Finestre
• Contrasting styles
• A close race

 

[houtdffan]

Yates will catch WVA before the top at this rate. He'll be useless

 

[Red Rick]

Guys. If Simon Yates loses, it's because of stage 9 Selfish Wout Van Aert.

 

[Gratemans]

Someone tell Richie that Del Toro is about to crack please!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Yeah Yates has won this, he looks way better than the others

As long as he doesn't explode on Sestriere. Remember di Luca in 2005, strong as a heavily medicated ox on Finestre, then cramped up on the descent and lost a bucketload of his advantage on the much easier ensuing climb.

 

[titan31]

I think if Carapaz has one attack in him, Del Toro is gone

 

[Cycling111]

Gee super domestique.

 

[Red Rick]

Del Toro looks rough man

 

[Jack_89]

Btw yesterday they said "no legs"🤣
No there were shitty climbs

 

[Tim Cahill]

They can't be good if they are letting the heavy Gee set this tepid pace, Simon Yates is 58kgs

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Richie needs to use his altitude advantage soon

 

[dgodave]

That kid would have scared the crap out me.

 

[E_F_]

And we have a very young full kit wanker.

 

[Poursuivant]

Stop the count!

 

[Froome]

WVA needs to wait for Yates now!

Not so sure, it's at the end of a very hard day and has a 7K stretch of 6-8 %
