Blazin’ Saddles: Bora target Carapaz, Landa on the charge - Things to look out for in final week of the Giro d’Italia
A week ago the top 12 riders were separated by 1min 27sec; now there’s a chasm of over nine minutes between Ecuador’s Richard Carapaz in pink and the Czech climber Jan Hirt down in twelfth. Realistically, only five riders can now win this Giro, with just one minute separating Carapaz and Hirt’s Intermarche-Wanty-Gobert teammate Domenico Pozzovivo in fifth.
