Many in the peloton will have their mind on tomorrow’s big mountain stage, today’s stage visits Slovenia and could see another breakaway rewarded.
Who Owns The Giro d’Italia?
Who owns the Giro d’Italia? If you’re about to say RCS, don’t because you’d be wrong. RCS are the organisers of the race but they don’t own it. Could it be Urbano Cairo, the man who controls RCS today? No, it’s not him either…
Giro d’Italia Stage 13 Preview
Not every day can be a day in the Apennines or a dash across the strade bianche. A sprint in Verona awaits.
Giro d’Italia Stage 12 Preview
A hard day ending in carnage. No need to hype up the stage, that’s just the name of the final mountain pass today but it is a steep climb and followed by a toboggan run descent into the finish.
Giro d’Italia Stage 11 Preview
The Super Tuscan stage, 162km with climbs and dirt roads on the way to the finish in Montalcino. This is the Strade Bianche stage but it’s a different race to the spring classic, a hard stage with relatively long climbs to sap energy.
Giro d’Italia Rest Day Review
We’re halfway there but the hard days are still to come. It’s been an enjoyable Giro so far, we’ve had a variety of stages and the breakaways have been rewarded. Egan Bernal might be on the verge of riding away with the Giro but that’s conditional, for all the drama of the ski slope finish at Campo di Felice was dramatic the 8km Turin time trial saw bigger time gaps.
Giro d’Italia Stage 10 Preview
Another chance for the sprinters, more so since Caleb Ewan has gone home. It’s all on familiar roads to Foligno, the novelty today could be the wind.
Giro d’Italia Stage 9 Preview
A good day for the breakaway and also a hard stage for the GC contenders although today’s stage isn’t severe, the really selective part is the gravel slope right at the end.
Giro d’Italia Stage 8 Preview
A good day for a breakaway in a race that’s been rewarding the breakaways so this should make for an exciting start to the stage too.
