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

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Ineos train is back?!

 

[Gigs_98]

Nibali dropped Konrad @Gigs_98

No worries, Konrad and Pernsteiner are simply doing a huge yoyo.
Austrians dominating in Sestriere since 2006:

 

[Simurgh]

Yep, all looks lost for Kelderman - Hindley has to go all out. In hindsight, they should have given Hindley the freedom to attack Tao the other day.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Will Dennis do the Morkov inbetween challengers job at the sprint again, as yesterday?

 

[titan31]

What's worse is that the two best Italians in the GC are 35 and 37. I have no idea who can replace them in the next 5 years.

Formolo, Bagioli and Masnada are probably the best younger GCish guys they have.

 

[Inquitus]

TGH is going to win the Giro, unbelievable, what a year 2020 is turning out to be on all fronts. Wilko is shipping a ton of time, Hindley can't TT at anything close to TGH's level, so barring the improbable either later in this stage or in the TT tomorrow, TGH is going to be a grand tour winner!

 

[Rollthedice]

With Trek pulling Rohan will already be in Milano by the time Wilco arrives in Sestriere.

Or Hindley should have attacked anyway

Hope Hindley knows this time about the bonus seconds at the intermediate sprint...

 

[broppo]

kinda stupid bilbao and almeida are not letting their men work, they wont get 3d now....

 

[Tigerion]

The guy cannot steer and he is very frail mentally. He can do performances like this but not 3 weeks long day after day.

Sadly as an Aussie I think this is right. The pressure would be to much and he would implode as a GT laeder

 

[Gigs_98]

At this point the question is if Hindley will try to attack TGH. No way anyone at Sunweb still thinks Kelderman has a shot here.

 

[Eclipse]

Honestly Dennis should knock it back now and settle in to a manageable tempo as long as he can, there's no way Wilco closes this down enough and maybe they can save enough to manage Jai's jump when he goes.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Formolo, Bagioli and Masnada are probably the best younger GCish guys they have.

Spain had this problem in 2017, the only stage winner and only rider they had in the top 10 of the Vuelta was 35 years old and about to retire. The following year, Mas emerged.

Dennis has been fantastic these last few days, and showing a level in the mountains he has never achieved before.

 

[SafeBet]

Hindley steals a second.

 

[burning]

Hindley looks very easy on the sprint, let's see what happens when they hit 10% gradients.

Yep Hindley looked much better.

 

[woodburn]

Hindley needs to go soon to get rid of Dennis.

Also, the closer Kelderman gets, the more in two minds Sunweb will be about cutting Hindley loose, when he needs max time.

 

[Eclipse]

Hindley should go as soon as it gets steep and he wins this, that looked effortless for him and a grind for Tao.

 

[Tigerion]

Yes. Hindley!

 

[Salvarani]

Hindley should give his all on the last climb.

He looks very strong today.

 

[broppo]

come on hindley attack!!!!

 

[Climbing]

Hindley has to go soon.
Giro in the bag.
