Stage 13 of the Giro d'Italia takes the riders into the mountains, and GC contenders are set to dominate on a summit finish at Crans Montana. With pre-race favourite Remco Evenepoel withdrawing after a positive Covid-19 test, Primoz Roglic has assumed favouritism.
Sean Kelly admits he would be “really peed off” if he was in GC hopeful Joao Almeida’s shoes at the Giro d’Italia after seeing his team-mate Davide Formolo lead a futile uphill chase on Stage 12 – less than 24 hours before the peloton roll out for the biggest mountain test yet. Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) started the day third in the general classification, just 22 seconds down on Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) in the overall competition. With a brutal day to follow on Friday, featuring three Cat.
After two relatively simple stages – albeit the first in freezing rain – things step up a little on Stage 12 of the Giro d’Italia as we flirt with the mountains again. The profile is not particularly challenging, however, so we can expect plenty of early action as our non-GC stars attempt to get in the day’s breakaway in the knowledge they may not be caught. Ad The main test is the Cat.
Stage 11 of the 2023 Giro d'Italia is the longest stage of this year's race, a 219km route from Camaiore to Tortona. Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) will wear the leader's maglia rosa for a second time following the shock withdrawal of Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) after a positive Covid-19 test.
Stage 10 of the 2023 Giro d'Italia will see Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) start in the leader's jersey following the shock withdrawal of Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step). Evenepoel was 45 seconds ahead of Thomas after winning Stage 9, but just hours after the stage pulled out following a positive Covid-19 test.
Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) showed weakness in the mountains but he's got a chance to forget all about that on Sunday in his favourite discipline: a pan-flat individual time trial. The Belgian favourite leaked 14 seconds to Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma), Geraint Thomas and Tao Geoghegan Hart (both Ineos Grenadiers) on a lively finale to Saturday's Stage 8.
Unless you’re a close friend of Davide Bias (EOLO-Kometa), or the man himself, you’ve probably already forgotten about the snoozefest on Stage 7 at the Giro d’Italia. The GC big-hitters rode to the first summit finish together as strong headwinds discouraged attacks, although Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) dropped a last-gasp dig to suggest he is unhurt from his double crash on Stage 5. Ad Will Stage 8 be more exciting? With a 30.7km individual time trial to come on Sunday, the likes of Evenepoel, Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) and Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) are likely to keep their powder dry, but we should get plenty of action from the stage hunters in the finale.
It's a tough day of climbing as the Giro d’Italia Stage 7 on Friday, May 12 sees the riders start in Capua and finish at Gran Sasso. Climbing is back on the agenda with plenty of tough ascents, and the peloton will be taken above 2,000 metres for the first time on the Giro.
