Should make for some good racing tomorrow and next week. If we assume Almeida will fade in the high mountains (not a given), the likes of Nibali, Pozzovivo will need to get 2'30" on Keldeman given the final TT. Don't see McNulty featuring when the big hills appear
I've just got a feeling that it'll be Majka who puts time into Keldeman

That sounds absolutely hellish. You want to win the stage but have the GC guys about 5 seconds behind so you don’t need to hang around.
If there’s a wait between the end of the stage and ceremonies people will get sick

Great to see Tao G-H taking his first stage victory and climbing up the pecking order.
Up to 4th!Well done TGH!

And would probably been 3rd if he hadn't slowed down celebrating.... silly but great riding from him.

Just think how p*ssed off he would be if they stopped the Giro tomorrow due to COVID/snow and declared the final podium as the current standing !

He'd have been in Pink now if he hadn't stopped for two or three mins to check on Thomas when he crashed.But Karma will treat him well im confident !

A classic Sky fail since Le Tour 2011, where Thomas lost 3 minutes and the white jersey by standing looking at a crashed-out Wiggins. They don't learn!

I wonder if Ineos will change strategy and ride for TGH? He's 2'40" behind Keldeman so will probably need to gain about 3'15" to allow for his worse TT
I'm assuming Almeida will slowly leak time leaving the race Keldeman's to lose
Keldeman is evens which are tough odds for someone who usually finds a way to lose races. TGH is 6/1 if you fancy a punt. Surely he is the only one who could potentially stop Wilko??

Of course, but the only non-GT-winner they ever had finish on the podium is Uran once, isn't it? Apart from him and Froome, they either win (as a team), or fall apart and stand around looking like daffodils instead of showing some fighting spirit.
Change strategy during a race??? Do they even understand the idea?
