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

If they ride, they could catch them by the next ascent, and if Dennis has nothing left at that point, it'll be on Hart to break them

 

[HelloDolly]

So Hindley should have gone back for Kelderman on the Stelvio ?????

Hingley can win this stage and this race

 

[titan31]

They look like they're going slow there.

Wonder where Hamilton, Oomen, Haig are and can they get back on

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

It's false support for Kelderman. Classic case where you sit in and get comfortable in a big pack of riders who have no actual incentive to push the pace.

Nobody in the group is racing the lead trio. Everyone in the group is racing Kelderman. He's going to get mobbed on the last climb

Hart break.

 

[SafeBet]

Amusing how people think Bernard and Tratnik can help Kelderman limit his losses when there's Dennis pulling ahead.

The gap is just gonna get bigger and bigger.

Dennis is R2D2/a droid

Bilbao is C3PO, he rides like he walks.

There was very little doubt about waiting.

Why is Trek pushing?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

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

As soon as Kelderman is done, this is the only logical play for Sunweb. Have Hart do the work, and attack him the final 4k.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Anyone got access to what odds were being offered on Geoghegan Hart or Hindley before they started in Sicily?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Why is Trek pushing?

Fuglsang is still dropped, right?

No it's Hindley with the support of Dennis and TGH against Kelderman.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Ah Fuglsang and Konrad are behind... maybe the Shark can get 6th or something

Unfair battle for Kelderman

 

[JosefK]

Dennis now the best climber in the world. But you could see it coming in his progression over the past year.

 

[Billie]

Yes Trek can pull. No reason for Deceunick or Bahrain to pull

 

[dgodave]

Ive never liked the look of modern ski towns such as this one.

Burying Fuglsang for 5th in GC.

And the blog.

 

[TomLPC]

That Vuelta stage sounds like quite the situation. Hopefully it's still interesting when this stage finishes.

Was that Bilbao and Nibali trying to sneak off the front or did my eyes deceive me?

 

[Zoophonic]

Tao v Jai - the shoot-out at the Sestriere Coral

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Tao, Jai and Rohan sound more like the members of a drum circle who live in a teepee than the lead riders in a bike race

Dennis was slowed down by TGH.
