Del Toro would be the third youngest winner of the Giro - the other two were in 1940 + 1930
I’m less than confident. Haha@cheeseypoof three-peat?
You just might pull it off with zero riders in the GC Top 20
Chapeau, champ
I'll be surprised if he stays with Carapaz on Finestre. The one thing he seems to lack the really long top watts for the long climbs. I sort of doubt UAE can control either stage 19 or 20, but at least 19 seems to set up more like today. If he pops on Finestre, I doubt he can keep the loses to 30 seconds (which is probably what he would need with the bonuses available).Del Toro would be the third youngest winner of the Giro - the other two were in 1940 + 1930
They capped the elevation to try and not have snowed out finishes.Need more mountain top finishes. My team is gutted. Nice showing by del toro
Seems like they should swap the Giro and Veulta.They capped the elevation to try and not have snowed out finishes.Need more mountain top finishes. My team is gutted. Nice showing by del toro
I think the bull is a luck at this point and have no reason to doubt him.I'll be surprised if he stays with Carapaz on Finestre.

There were more sprint type stages this year... that's why I took a flyer on Groves in velo gamesThey capped the elevation to try and not have snowed out finishes.Need more mountain top finishes. My team is gutted. Nice showing by del toro

Down to 5 riders. Ulissi is my highest ranked GC rider and he’s 19th.

Yeah...I didn't understand that at all. You ride to get your sprinters in the break and then let Van Baarle, Houle, and Plankheart ride off. Didn't make much sense to me even those Van Baarle and Houle should have bossed that group. I guess the only sense in it is that Pederson, Wout, and Groves all already have a stage win and Visma presumably has to ride tomorrow. Just weird though and the TnT guys thought so as well.Trek, ADC, and Visma with some horrible tactics today. 8 riders between them let a solo win.

Just plain dumb. You exchange a 1 in 3 win chance for a 1 in 10.Yeah...I didn't understand that at all.

Dang....my whole team is headed towards the Groupetto.The joy of seeing 4 of your guys in the break.
The agony watching 3 of them being the first to be shelled when the road turns up.
Stage was too hard. Strongest team won.Sigh..what could have been. If del toro has zero issues tomorrow the UAE Dr deserves the jersey.![]()
Just hoping I can hang on for 2nd being down to 5 riders. including both my All Around riders, and my Sprinter.least joyful GT ever from a Velogames perspective
but still super excited for the next two Stage races (Critérium du Daphané and Le Tour)
