Cycling: So far the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia have been rather unsuccessful for Thomas de Gendt. Tomorrow it could work on the twelfth stage with a breakaway coup.
Velomotion forecast: Thomas de Gendt wants to know
The profile of the twelfth stage looks like a shark's teeth. So it's clear: there won't be a mass sprint tomorrow. Since the classification drivers probably don't calculate anything either, we see the breakaways in front. The 204-kilometer section with start and finish in Cesenatico gives us five mountain ratings. However, the climbs are not really long. In addition, the last 30 kilometers lead downhill or flat to the finish. Only a really strong driver can win the stage. We're betting on runaway king Thomas de Gendt (Lotto – Soudal). The Belgian was surprisingly unsuccessful with his attempts this year. At the Tour de France and at Tour of Italy so far it has come up empty handed. That's about to change tomorrow!
☆☆☆ Thomas de Gendt (Lotto – Soudal)
