The GC hopefuls will be nervously clicking refresh on the weather forecast amid suggestions there could be thunderstorms and heavy rain in northern Italy for Tuesday’s five-star trip to the mountains. After the final rest day of the week, and a subdued outing on Sunday, the foundations are laid for an explosive Stage 16. Ad/> The imposing Mortirolo is sandwiched between two other Cat.
As Felix Lowe points out in his report from Stage 13, on Saturday the focus shifts to the battle for pink with an intriguing 147km stage from Santena to Torino that includes two laps of a lumpy finishing circuit and dual ascents of the challenging Superga and Colle delle Madalena climbs. With his rivals lurking – and another summit finish on the menu on Sunday – Juan Pedro Lopez (Trek-Segafredo) will face his stiffest task as he bids to keep hold of the maglia rosa going into the final week.
Friday's run from San Remo to Cuneo is almost a mirror-image of Stage 5, featuring a tough climb at the start and a more gentle run to the finish. That should spark excitement in the mind of Arnaud Demare (Groupama-FDJ), who produced a terrific fightback to latch back onto the main group before sprinting to a memorable win. The Frenchman is the runaway maglia ciclamino and starts as favourite on Stage 13.
After Biniam Girmay's historic victory on Tuesday, another chance for the fast men arrives on Stage 11. Only this time, Mark Cavendish (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) and Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal) will expect to feature. The flat-track bullies were cruelly distanced by their more versatile, but slower, rivals during the early hills on Stage 10, but there should be no repeat on the pan-flat run from Santarcangelo di Romagna to Reggio Emilia.
Hindley upsets heavyweights on Blockhaus — the story of Stage 9 Ad/> A glorious summit showdown on the infamous Blockhaus saw Australia’s Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) edge Frenchman Romain Bardet (Team DSM) and Ecuador’s Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) on a day of high drama on the Giro d’Italia. Giro d'ItaliaGiro d'Italia 2022 Stage 10 — Route map, how to watch as Van der Poel goes for gloryAN HOUR AGO Hindley, who famously lost the maglia rosa to Britain's Tao Geoghegan Hart on the final day of the 2020 Giro d'Italia, confirmed his return to form after taking the win in a six-way sprint by going long in the uphill finish and leading out around the final bend from the front.
The second rest day of the 2022 Giro d'Italia came off the back of a drama-filled Stage 9 which saw a shake up of the General Classification. An uphill sprint saw Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) restate his credentials as a Grand Tour force, edging out Romain Bardet (Team DSM) and Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers). Ad/> Race leader Juan Pedro Lopez (Trek–Segafred) held onto the pink jersey after a gutsy fight but saw his lead cut to 12 seconds over Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates).

Giro d'ItaliaGiro d'Italia 2022 Stage 9 — Route map, how to watch 'stuff nightmares are made of'2 HOURS AGO Ten years after his historic win on the Stelvio, Thomas De Gendt soared to a second Giro d’Italia stage win with an emphatic victory on the streets of Naples thanks to a little help from his Belgian compatriot and teammate Harm Vanhoucke. The Lotto Soudal duo were part of a four-man move that extricated itself from a stellar breakaway that featured a third Lotto Soudal rider in Sylvain Moniquet as well as the likes of Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix), Biniam Girmay (Intermarche-Wanty-Gobert) and Diego Ulissi (UAE Team Emirates).
The GC favourites have been suspiciously quiet during the opening week of the Giro d'Italia. That changes today. A double ascent of the fearsome Blockhaus, including the tougher side of the climb on the grind to the finish, will inject some much-needed spice into the battle for pink on the race's first five-star stage.
