Men's Road Cycling UCI World Tour 2021 (Giro d'Italia)

[Grassmarket 3,533]

One big climb of the day with 40k to go. Bora Hansgrohe making it hard to burn off as many sprinters as possible to set it up for Sagan.

 

Seems to be working, have got rid of Nizzolo, Viviani & Merlier at least, all scrambling to get back on.

If ever he had a chance (other than the one where Ewan won after Gaviria's attempt)...

[heywoodu 15,253]

Nizzolo gave up his attempt to get back, together with Campenaerts.

[Gianlu33 4,693]

Amazing tactical move for the Bora

[Grassmarket 3,533]

GC battle for 3 bonus sprint seconds!  +1 gain net for Evenepoel.

[heywoodu 15,253]

Nice two second attack by Van Emden.

[Grassmarket 3,533]

Well, it paid off!  Think the Jury will have a look, there was a bit of weaving.....

 

No, nothing there.

And he does what he was supposed to do, great work by his team  

 

What a totally idiotic last curve by the way, letting the peloton in full sprint go through that curve at 65-70 per hour

Sagan do It!

Nothing wrong by Sagan at least.
