He will DNS on either stage 7 or stage 10, but after his arguably worst performance on this sort of finish since he became an elite rider, I'm even more convinced that he got injured in the crash in the time trial recon. Almost back to Froome before his magical transformation, when he was a Barloworld rider clinging to cars to be able to get up a relatively easy climb If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Gianlu33 3,574 Posted May 9, 2018 Author #74 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Giro d'Italia Stage 5: Agrigento - Santa Ninfea At first, the stage is played out on flat roads running along the coast, on the ss. 115 trunk road, with a slightly more complicated passage through the centre of Sciacca. The second half, instead, running entirely through the Valle del Belice, is more demanding, with a few long but mild categorised climbs. In the second part of the route, the roadway is narrowed and very worn out at points. Final kilometres: the route descends slightly until 2,200 m before the finish. Here, the stage course turns right and takes in a short uphill stretch (approx. 1,200 m), with ramps peaking at 12%. The final kilometre descends slightly at first, and then runs gently uphill. The finish line sits on a 250-m long and 7.5-m wide asphalt straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianlu33 3,574 Posted May 10, 2018 Author #78 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Giro d'Italia Stage 6: Caltanissetta - Etna This will be the first summit finish. Like the previous two, the stage has a very wavy profile, and features an endless series of bends over the first 120 km. Past Paternò, the route takes a first-ever pass up the long closing climb that leads all the way to the Etna Astrophysical Observatory. Final kilometres: the final climb (15 km) begins in Ragalna. Over the first 10 km, the road is relatively wide, yet steep at points (max. gradient: 16%). The roadway narrows 5.5 km before the finish, as the route travels short lengths in the woods and on lava fields. Red flag: the route climbs and bends slightly until the final 150 m, where the road stretches out, with gradients around 6% (the finish line sits on a 6-m wide asphalt road).
