Stage 17 profile
A brief however intense mountain stage. After going over the Passo Sella and descending via the Val di Fassa and Val di Fiemme all the best way to Predazzo, the route takes in an unbroken succession of robust climbs and descents, clearing the Passo Rolle and the Passo Gobbera, and crossing Canal San Bovo. After the primary ascent to Passo Brocon by way of the northern aspect, the route passes close to the end and descends quickly on large observe as much as Castello Tesino. The steep closing climb begins in Pieve Tesino. The ultimate kilometres are uphill. The steepest a part of the final categorised climb, with gradients exceeding 10%, ends on the 2km mark, adopted by nearly degree or uphill drags. The ultimate 500m are on a slight incline. The house straight (100m) is on 6m large tarmac.
Lidl-Trek’s Daan Hoole, Juan Pedro Lopez and Jonathan Milan at first – I do know which one I might reasonably be within the mountains
The battle was on from the beginning. As a result of Giro not climbing the Stelvio and the Umbrail Move on Tuesday, the Passo Sella turned the Cima Coppi for this yr. There have been much more KOM factors on supply in addition to the climber’s honour. Giulio Pellizzari (VF Group Bardiani-CSF Faizanè) was the primary over the summit, however solely after an actual combat with Nairo Quintana (Movistar). It wanted a photo-finish to separate the 2 riders, giving it to the younger Pellizzari.
A star of the longer term – Giulio Pellizzari (VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizane)
Tadej Pogačar – ‘What is going to I do at the moment?’
One other arduous day forward – perhaps no snow
What is going to stage 17 deliver?
Julian Alaphilippe was off the entrance once more
The mountains had been wanting good, as was Pogačar – As normal
That man Giulio Pellizzari once more
No snow, however gentle rain forecast
Stage 17 was robust, however perhaps much less chaotic
dsm-firmenich PostNL had been planning one thing, but it surely didn’t appear to work
Steinhauser finally went solo
INEOS Grenadiers took management
Steinhauser put up a powerful combat
The German held off Pogačar for the win
‘Solely’ second for Pogačar
