A data dump of a week because all the points from the Giro are included… but no big changes in the standings.
The Moment The Giro d’Italia Was Won
The last climb of the last mountain stage and above the ski village of Malga Ciapela Jai Hindley and Richard Carapaz have dropped Mikel Landa. Hindley’s bridged across to his waiting team mate Lennard Kämna and now Carapaz is struggling, a gap is opening up between him and Hindley. Carapaz can’t manage his losses, he cracks and loses a minute and half on the Passo Fedaia. This was the moment Jai Hindley won the Giro d’Italia.
Giro d’Italia Stage 21 Preview
The final stage and a time trial in Verona on a familiar course. There’s still a stage win up for grabs even if the big story is whether Jai Hindley can avoid a wobble to win the race overall.
Giro d’Italia Stage 20 Preview
The Giro rides on and yes it has the feel of a test of patience for the GC contenders and fans alike. We’ll see if the mythical passes of the Dolomites can discriminate between three riders who have proved inseparable for the last three weeks. Or will it all come down to the time trial in Verona tomorrow?
Giro d’Italia Stage 19 Preview
The mountain stages resume and today there’s a trip to Slovenia. It’s not a savage route – wait for tomorrow – but it should see a good battle for the stage win.
Giro d’Italia Stage 18 Preview
A sprint interlude, although if you can’t climb or time trial this is your last shot at a stage win so there should be a bigger battle for the breakaway and in turn this reduces the chance of a sprint.
Giro d’Italia Stage 17 Preview
Another day in the Alps and there’s just three seconds between Richard Carapaz and Jai Hindley.
UCI World Tour Promotion and Relegation Weekly
Last week’s update had a lot going on, this week’s much quieter with only half of the teams scoring any points.
Giro d’Italia Stage 16 Preview
The big Alpine stage of the Giro. Coming after a relatively subdued stage on Sunday and a rest day we’ll see who has the freshest legs to make the moves today.
Giro Rest Day Review
The Giro has a rest day in Salò, on the shores of Lake Garda, and a town arguably famous for its infamous moment, but that wasn’t the fault of the locals.
Who’ll have a spring in their step today? The area’s hoteliers will rejoice, room occupancy must be high given there have been so few abandons in this Giro. Less so the organisers RCS and TV rights holders given among the few who have left the race are many of the stars, from sprinters to overall contenders. So far the “fight for pink” hasn’t come alive, the race lead has only moved from Mathieu van der Poel to Juan-Pedro Lopez and now to Richard Caparaz. If it can change shoulders more often this week things will get fascinating.
