I don't understand why Nibali should have troubles tomorrow anyway.
I mean if he can't follow the other GC guys in such a stage he won't win the Giro.

Not sure if Finestre will be plan B or they'll get straight to plan C, but I read that there's some good weather predictions about Stelvio. That stage should settle the score.
It's very early but everything I've seen doesn't suggest good weather for Stelvio next week. Quite the opposite.

Check again, seems good weather and higher temperatures are coming (on all major models now).
Still early to be sure though, either way.

Told you he wouldn't have any problems today, actually Jakob looked the worst on the last hill (without considering his usual bad luck).

Yep, apart from the voodoo flat, Bird was either on a bad day or the shape is on it's way out. Vincenzo, a casual ride.

I really wouldn't mind Pozzovivo tbh.
But TT and big mountain stages... let's say he often doesn't perform that well there.
BUT Covid year, so who knows.

Losing to Kelderman or Almeida due to the Covid cancellations would be the most Nibali thing ever, and I predict that's what will happen. ( or no winner at all )

Pozzo is a great guy and all but let's settle for second place. I mean he never got more than top 5, it's not that he suddenly will TT like Ganna or climb like Pogacar.
