Giro 2020 SPOILERS !!

Makes for an intriguing S20 and S21. You'd think that Ineos could put enough time into Kelderman on S20 to make TGH the favourite to beat him in the GC overall. The issue is Hindley. Doesn't look like he's going to drop so it'll come down to S21 ITT. In theory TGH has a better flat TT than Hindley but who knows at the end of a hard 3 week tour?

My money would be on whichever holds the GC lead coming into the ITT out of TGH and Hindley, I think it will be as close at that

This is going to be an unreal end to the Giro!

That definitely puts the cat amongst the pigeons.... given how close the two Sunweb riders are they won't want to see the team send the other one up the road just to try and crack TGH, cos if it all goes wrong they hand him the lead.... but they've got no margin for error either, what might as well be a day off for the GC tomorrow(crosswinds notwithstanding) means it's three ascents of the Sestriere on Saturday to decide the race pretty much...

Mad how that failing to get his jacket zipped up punished Kelderman today on the descent.Maybe have been better to lose a few seconds zipping it up ? Still a brave ride.Bilbao aswell,good legs seeing as though he rode the Tour,he's not out of it yet either.

If it comes down to those two,Tao will win it

I dunno...Hindley beat TGH in the first ITT, TGH beat Hindley in the second. I doubt very much there will be more than 20s between them on S21, hence going with whoever finished S20 on top

Don’t forget Kelderman has beaten them both in the TT’s - twice. TGH needs about a minute on Sestriere from Kelderman and 15-20 sec on Hindley. Should be full gas from the
Second climb till the finish. Bilbao isn’t out of it yet either...

Sh1t tactics by Ineos again there @mjr
Not often your wrong...but your wrong again ?

I was not wrong: did you not notice Tao didn't win the stage? Sunweb came dangerously close to Skying themselves, though, doing all the work and then letting another team profit... luckily for them, the other team was Ineos, doing all the work, then letting Sunweb take the win!

And does Dennis suddenly becoming a top climber worry anyone else?

I like it when you admit you were wrong

Quite right!!

There aren’t any top climbers left in the Giro. They are at La Vuelta, or having a well earned break in Slovenia

 

[Dave Davenport]

The Sestriere climb is pretty steady and not too steep, the sort Rohan Dennis could smash up

No, the stelvio isn’t hugely steep so can see how he could drag Tao away from the others.

Three riders within 15 seconds of each other and three stages to go....no pressure 😁
