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

[Zinoviev Letter]

I know they say it, that they often have to... but I'm wondering whether they are the best or just the heaviest...

they also have to be fearless bordering on reckless and great bike handlers, so they have a number of the right traits to be excellent descenders

Puccio already done

 

[Gigs_98]

Surely there's a movie thread in the cafe?

Pffff, normie calling LotR a movie

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

And Vegni is Cate Blanchett

Majka dropped by Ganna, does he have the rona or something? Mechanical?

You can say about this Giro what you want, but it is suspenseful.

Imagine if this is the stage result:

1. Hindley
2. Hart 15"
3. Kelderman 30"

Then this would be the GC:

1. Hindley
2. Hart 16"
3. Kelderman 24"

That could lead to an extremely close time trial tomorrow.

Nibali - what's that old, spacy king's name again?
Fuglsang - Boromir
Hart - Sam
Ganna -Arwen
Aragorn - role not staffed
Pozzovivo - Pippin

Majka dropped by Ganna, does he have the rona or something? Mechanical?

He's had stomach issues most of the week

He's been saying he's been sick for a while

There are quite a few mountain and passes in it.
One with lots of snow and lightning that blocks the passage.

Nibali has to be Bilbo this Giro right?

The Briancon mayor is clearly Gandalf then, and Vegni is the Balrog.

 

[Lequack]

This climb is not steep enough for any differences to be made.

Gollum?

 

[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.

Looks pretty steep now

You mean Theoden? Then it means he's gonna get young again! He just needs to meet his Gandalf.

 

[Eclipse]

The thinning has begun

 

[titan31]

Ya, not unless Kelderman is feeling any effects from Stelvio and the rain jacket.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This climb is not steep enough for any differences to be made.

The size of the group says otherwise.

 

[Gigs_98]

Ineos right now:

 

[TomLPC]

Everyone's suddenly gone, Jacob gone, Pozzo, groups down to 7, Nibali gone

 

[Pantani_lives]

Steamroller Dennis begins the works.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Chaos already.

"Oh… M-my old Trofeo Senza fine! Oh, I sh-sh-should very much like… to hold it again, one last time."
