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

Wonder where the other Sunwebs are. I think there was one or two in the group before Dennis broke it. If they can get back on to Kelderman, it'd be interesting

 

[HelloDolly]

An Australian beating an Australian ?

 

[Bolder]

I think there are enough strong-ish riders in the chase group to bring it back before the last 6km, but who will do it is an open question.

Dennis making headlines the day before a ITT in a rather different way.

 

[Rollthedice]

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

Hingley can win this stage and this race

He could have gone back to Wilco talk to him and then get back to Hart.

 

[HelloDolly]

Bahrain and QS will ride

I'm hoping the QS guys ride for Almeida and bring Kelderman up. There's a potential stage win up for grabs too here if Hindley, Hart and Kelderman look at each other

 

[OldCranky]

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

150/1 for Hart, 500/1 for Hindley. So one of their dads is likely to be happy tomorrow

 

[Faserr]

QS attacked the Keldermann group. Don't know why.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Pozzo and a mechanical, name me a more iconic duo (apart from maybe Australians and big Italian climbs?)

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

De Gendt is going to round them all up as soon as he hears who's in front.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I like the electronic signs alongside the road warning for hairpins.

 

[JosefK]

For Ineos, who needs Froome now that they have Rohan?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Pozzovivo is Yoda.

Fuglsang is Jabba the Hutt.

 

[Red Rick]

Nibali dropped Konrad @Gigs_98

 

[Rollthedice]

Jai mate has a tremendous winning experience compared to Tao mate so I guess he's the favorite to win the Giro.

 

[Eclipse]

I'm hoping the QS guys ride for Almeida and bring Kelderman up. There's a potential stage win up for grabs too here if Hindley, Hart and Kelderman look at each other

QS should try just put a rider up the road and have Almeida attack and bridge. Really try break Kelderman and crush his spirits and they could get close enough to jump him on the TT if he's really drained. It's unlikely but much better than just towing him to the line

 

[lenric]

Dennis should drop back to Kelderman and then get back to Tao, attack and win both today's stage and tomorrow's.

Vendrame only italian capable of following Dennis

sad state

 

[PhiLiz]

I always knew Dennis could climb! You know he did a top20 in the Giro 2018?

 

[Zoophonic]

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

Not so much gradual progression in form but a massive leap. Showed nothing at the Tour of Poland, nothing at the Tirenno.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Holmes minded to help TGH out of national co-operation?

O tempora, o mores!

 

[trevim]

Why is everyone riding for Kelderman? Wasn't he supposed to pull the group almost single handlely?

 

[Pricey_sky]

Hindley looked better than Tao in the last climb, but if Wilco keeps the gaps around 30-40s then Hindley/Sunweb have a decision to make.
