Giro d'Italia stage 20, Stage 20: Alba – Sestriere 190 km

[Eclipse]

Tao needs to hold Hinley's wheel because I think Tao will take time back in the TT.

I agree. What I mean is, I wonder if they get towards a minute on Wilco where Dennis actually knocks off the pace a bit to try and maintain their energy to cover Jai a bit better on the final climb

 

[Mayomaniac]

Tratnik could help Kelderman by riding tempo for Bilbao when they catch him.

 

[46&twoWheels]

Dennis has the face of somebody who doesn't know where he is and he's just destroying more calories than others

 

[Bolder]

Sit on his wheel then attack on the last climb Almeida, 3 teammates up the road.

Almeida looks pretty good, tbh. I think he could keep his group within 30 seconds.

 

[johnymax]

Tratnik will help Bilbao and Kelderman.

 

[Lequack]

Maybe Kelderman is saving himself for tomorrow.

sunday ride after hangover

 

[richwallone]

Loving it

 

[titan31]

Hart looks like he's suffering tbh.

 

[savornin]

Kelderman just not strong enough, pity.

 

[Rollthedice]

Just tuned in. Where's Birdsong?

 

[SafeBet]

Kelederman is done, guys. It's a two man race.
Maybe three if Dennis is let loose. But gaining back 2 hours will be hard.

 

[Lequack]

Does Jai Hindley have permission to attack if he's stronger than Tao? That's the real question.

 

[Red Rick]

Dennis will probably go faster on the false flat of the final climb than on the steeper section just now

Or just go in full Hindley control

 

[Eclipse]

Kelderman's got no hope here. Everyone is going to jump him when they can

Just tuned in. Where's Birdsong?

One of the first to blow and didn't look close to getting back, haven't seen him since. Might just be setting tempo a little further down.

Oddly today was the one day Astana used the team to try work...

 

[titan31]

Kelderman will have lots of help on the descent here. Lots of QS there for Almeida, and tratnik for bilbao

 

[Red Rick]

Kelederman is done, guys. It's a two man race.
Maybe three if Dennis is let loose. But gaining back 2 hours will be hard.

Where they lying about that MSR ITT?

 

[Tigerion]

Tao needs to hold Hinley's wheel because I think Tao will take time back in the TT.

If it comes to that Hindley will just softpedal and try to let Kelderman come back

 

[Red Rick]

Just tuned in. Where's Birdsong?

Dropped before Nibali

 

[46&twoWheels]

Trek helping Kelderman.

it means everything is lost forever

 

[Samu Cuenca]

INEOS are the Sith lords. Brailsford is Senator Palpatine, and Froome is Darth Maul after he's been out in the sun for too long.
TGH is Kylo Ren.

Hindley is Luke Skywalker, with Nibali as Obi-Wan Kenobi whispering in his ears. Kelderman is Jar-Jar Binks.

Dennis is R2D2/a droid

 

[titan31]

That's a big group Kelderman is in

 

[Eclipse]

The biggest show of Trek strength all race

 

[Gigs_98]

So basically this is TGH with the support of Dennis and Kelderman apparently with the support of absolutely everyone else.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

So basically this is TGH with the support of Dennis and Kelderman apparently with the support of absolutely everyone else.

End result: gap up to a minute when they hit the final climb.
