Men's Road Cycling UCI World Tour 2020 (Giro d'Italia)

[Grassmarket 3,408]

Second time up, 36k to go, Ganna goes to the front....

[Dragon 1,844]

... and starts a first big push for Ineos

That’s what every Grand Tour needs, morons with smoke canisters.  
 

Oh look, new emoji!  
 

Didi is there! 

 

Wham, big splits straight away.  Dennis on front.

 

Kelderman struggling!

 

Now a straight race between Hindley & TGH!

Kelderman is breaking and Dennis is going too fast even for Hart.

[Grassmarket 3,408]

Kelderman has a strong group, might be able to make up something on the descent.  Problem is that he has no Sunweb rider to help him, so can’t count on the others.

 

Hmm, TGH has another Brit, Matthew Holmes in his group.....now if this was Pinot, disons & any random Frenchman...

He's got another climb to go though.

Yeah, but he only wants to keep it to say 45 secs to a minute though.  Might still be possible.

 

indeed, Kelderman’s group is making up time now.  But... 

[Dragon 1,844]

10 Km to find a winner

Thing is that's what he lost in the second half of the climb...a climb he'll have to do all over again. It seems rather unlikely to keep it within a minute (and that being enough is only if he's good tomorrow, which is...doubtful).

They’re going to contest the sprint! t
