One of the best stages I have seen on a grand tour.
The stages the tour doesnt offer anymore sadly. The giro does. Stage 20 should have been even more epic but with 3x Sestriere it became boring.
@@raphaeltiziani7476 you changed your opinion right? Today's stage was absolutely amazing
@@SpaghettiAndLove yup I was profen wrong. Was a good stage
The best I ever watched
João lost his pink today but I'm not sad. I'm proud! Proud of João and Rúben. I never thought I would see a Portuguese leading a grand tour. I never thought I would see a Portuguese fighting for a grand tour. I never thought I would see my country interested in cycling. Now everyone knows João in Portugal and every cycling fan knows him as well. We won a stage, we wore all the jerseys for at least 1 day. We had a leader for 15 days and we will win a jersey in a grand tour for the first time ever. How could I be sad? Thanks for the memories Giro d'Italia!
I'm pretty sure there was no Portugese wearing the sprinters jersey.
@@timvlaar João wore it in stage 2
Finally joao lost, you were very frustrating writing everyday that sort of comment. (Just kidding)
@@ftsportugal Pretty sure he never wore that jersey. Ganna won the first stage so he was wearing all the jerseys basically.. But thats obvious after just 1 stage.. the winner gets the jerseys
@@D0nKeY I know but technically he wore it
Who would have thought - to lads from Perth Australia taking back to back stage wins in arguably the toughest mountain stage race in the world - no mountains here to train on 🤷👏👏🍺🍺🍾🍾.. doing us proud ..
Well, not that many mountains in Belgium or Netherlands either and they've done pretty okay historically.
The Netherlands has 0 mountains and is mostly BELOW sea level. But good job to Jai Hindley.
What a ride. Who would have thought that Geoghegan Hart, Hindley and Keldermann will fight for the maglia rosa. Just wow
wow? tsss...poor giro
Poor poor giro.
@@arquizone y'all hating but this is 10 times better then boring tdf
Great great stage and Stelvio is 100% responsible! I know João Almeida lost his maglia rosa and a place in the podium as well, but how great this kid was, his first year as a pro, his first grand tour ever and he held pink for two weeks, fighting for the win with some of the best cyclists in the world, also young but with much more experience than him and he will finish the Giro in top 5!! he have future for sure. and the Giro is incredibily tight til the end!
This is way tougher than any stage in TDF.
200km stage on two consecutive days. That is ridiculous!
Combined*
Best giro of the last years
Almeida got as far as he could. Well done for Pello, overtaking Kerldrman from behind. And massive respect for Tao. He's delivering power and emotion for this Giro 2020
Although this was expected. Almeida held on to the pink Jersey for the longest time. Well done!
What a stage! Such a revolution in the GC. The Giro has been quite exciting. And it appears to be even more exciting after today. I guess there will be some moves in the classification til the end. And that TT in the last stage will help to that. João was a fighter and he did really good nonetheless in this stage. I guess we'll still hear from him. But Tao and Jai are riding superbly. Let's see what happens...
Amazing Stelvio, wonderful torri di fraele 😍
What a great tactical and teamride by Jai Hindley and he didn’t even look tired at the end. Well done.
This sounds like it was recorded with an actual microphone, Eurosport upping their game.
Bang on! The Giro did it again! The Top 10 GC explodes during the 3rd week. With one tough mountain stage and an ITT remaining, the game is widely open. Place your bet! Jai H or Tao GH could could be the surprise winner of the 2020 Giro.
Easy win for Hindley really... he never stuck his nose into the wind once.. just sat in and mugged TGH with 50 metres left
Breathtaking climb and Breathtaking racing!
Phenomenal from the Perth lads, epic!
Obrigado João Almeida Independentemente da classificação final, deste aos portugueses 15 dias de alegria Força João Almeida, tens a humildade dos Campeões Abraço de Aveiro Portugal
All come down to that last ITT I think.
Mountain stage on stage 20
Is Almeida good at tt tho
@@viktorkools2909 you are not following this Giro closely to say that.
@@viktorkools2909 For some reference. 2nd at first tt, only lost to Ganna. Second tt he was 9th, gaining on every GC man, including 13 seconds to Kelderman, that is quite a good specialist.
@der Führer Thats for sure. Hindley and Tao are some kinds of sitting ducks in TT.
Hands down for Rohan Dennis, the man of the day...maybe it’s because I don’t know him much but I’d never expect a former TT world champion weighting -80kg to drop basically all the GC contenders and pure climbers around...after having stayed in break aways for many of the last stages. He basically paced for what, 30 km? Far played to him
Grandeeee la maglia rosa!
Great race today. They really had to go very deep. Tomorrow a "flat" race of 257 km. Terribly long and probably not as flat as a the WC in Qatar. So even tomorrow not much time for recovery for the GC riders. On Saturday another mountain stage and on Sunday the ITT. Many things can happen and will happen in these last three days. It ain't over till it's over. Take a look at the top 12 now and at the finish line in Milano. There will still be a lot (and huge) changes.
Якоб целая команда 💪✊
OMG...but..Awesome!!!!!!!
Jai Hindley and Ben O'Connor - doing Australia EXTREMELY proud!!
finally things are getting interesting!
thank you J.Almeida the pink PANTHER! ficaste bem de rosa, assim como ficarás bem de camisola branca, vermelha ou amarela! 💪🧠🦵
amazing this team Sunweb, left Kelderman alone amazing man
But kelderman was with 4 team menbers in the big part of stelvio and João was only with masnada, and when João crack masnada didnt help, masnada will just help João when the things really get bad, so for me sunweb did a great job.
@@edermartins180 Your comment is confusing and illogical. At first Masnada didn’t want to wait for Almeida, eventually he did work for him - it was far from perfect, but still something. Hindley did never wait, while he is horrible in time trials, so he has to get a big margin on Hart before that... Now Kelderman and Hindley only have a small margin and if Hindley had helped Kelderman, he would never have lost more than 1 minute to Hart. If there wouldn’t still be a time trial, it would be a debatable call, but now it’s just a naive call...
@@Tim-K. srr but my english is horrible and i understand what you are trying to say but kelderman was horible today and kel show is weakeness today, and ofcourse this is the queen stage but stage 20 isnt easy at all and for me now sunweb cannot risk losing this because kelderman is on 1st gc, and believe on my words kelderman will not take this win on my opinion, and for me sunweb did a great job today and quick step was horible because is team is better than sunweb and cannot keep is leader on the main group and they have names like masnada,knox and more to work for João, but was a great stage at all if giro was so far being boring now is a real giro d italia
The issue wasn't so much that they left Kelderman on his own, the issue was that Hindley didn't try to attack on the last climb. He absolutely needs a bigger margin for the TT, so he should have tried to drop Hart. Especially as he still looked relatively fresh after that sprint to the finish line.
@@edermartins180 You don’t have to apologise for your English, you’re probably Portuguese so it’s not your native language, just keep practising and you’ll improve. Kelderman was not that bad today, he was just that little worse than Hart that he couldn’t follow in one of the steep sections of the Stelvio, he maintained a steady gap of 38 à 48 seconds eventually, but during the flat windy section after the descent he lost a lot of time because of Dennis - who is really strong in keeping a hard pace for a long time on a flat section - who could just give his all, while keeping Hart out of the wind, without him Kelderman wouldn’t have lost more than a minute, probably even less. Hart was also on the limit on the Stelvio, he had trouble following Dennis’ pace, indicated by the gaps he left sometimes. Saturday isn’t that hard, and Sunday there is a ITT and Kelderman is better in that than Hart. If Kelderman loses a minute on Saturday it’s not unrealistic to say that he will gain that time back on Sunday. Hindley however is even worse in time trials than Hart, so he had to attack today to get a bigger margin on Hart, because tomorrow is probably not hard enough for that, so Hindley will normally only win the Giro if Kelderman and Hart lose a lot of time on Saturday. I think this is between Hart and Kelderman and the latter has the advantage.
Gone are the days of team sky blocking the road up the mountain.s😆
Strange seeing cycling in October very short off season for the pro cyclist with the Santos tour down under in January
Snehová krajina
The Winner IS Dennis..very strong ..
That could be the most dramatic stage of the Giro, but it's a pity that most of the drama was left on the cutting room floor, as a 4-minute vid didn't do the stage justice.
What the hell was going on with those Sunweb jackets?
Hey Rob....Sunweb is a Dutch team, not a German team.
No its not. It has a german license.
Go Aussie, Go!
Great racing. But I cant shake the feeling that the tour was just 2-3 levels above this years giro in terms of competition.
Giro much more entertaining, more competition. Tour 2020 was boring, will forget easily.
@@TheMrBennito Except for that last TT, that was epic, and very unexpected
1:45 free jacket for the spectators.
What more could the year of 2020 make as a terrible joke? Yeah, you have known which is the fact that tao is going to win a gt.
Go Hindley
another proof that pros don't need disk brakes to win a stage of the giro .. (lol !!)
