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.
Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) and Simon Yates (BikeExchange-Jayco) were caught up in a big pile-up in the early running on Stage 15 at the Giro d’Italia. The new pink jersey and Saturday’s champ were flung onto a grassy verge after a touch of wheels in the peloton with 171km remaining on the run from Rivarolo Canavese to Cogne. Ad/> About a dozen riders hit the deck while the back of the peloton came to a standstill as limbs were untangled from carbon fibre.
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.
It’s the longest stage of the Giro d’Italia! Stage 12 sees the peloton travel 204km from Parma to Genova, with this day earmarked with one word: breakaway. Ad/> Expect a string of moves before the Passo Del Bocco summit, the day's long first climb, with plenty of KOM points up for grabs. An undulating finale featuring two Cat.
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.
Biniam Girmay is the newest star of cycling after his historic win at the Giro d’Italia, with Robbie McEwen saying he is “in awe” of the Eritrean on The Breakaway. Girmay (Intermarche-Wanty-Gobert Materiaux) hinted at his potential with a fine win at Gent-Wevelgem in March and a string of top-five finishes at the Giro, before producing the biggest performance of his career on Tuesday. Ad/> The 21-year-old was forced to fight through the pack in the closing kilometres on Stage 10 after briefly going the wrong way on a descent – but his superb Intermarche team delivered him back to the front.
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.
