Cycling: The Giro d'Italia could be decided tomorrow in the Dolomites. The 19th stage chases the pros over the Three Peaks and a total of five mountain classifications.
The queen stage of the Giro d'Italia
Only at the 19th section do we advance at this year's Tour of Italy out with the magic word "queen stage". Because the 183-kilometer course from Longarone to Tre Cime di Lavaredo is really tough. It's about the Campolongo Pass (4,0 km a 7,0%), the Valparola Pass (13,9 km a 5,7%), the Passo Giau (9,8 km a 9,3%), the Three Crosses Pass (8,0 km a 7,2%) until after Three peaks of Lavaredo (7,1km a 7,8%). The percentages make it clear: Only a really strong climber can win here.
Velomotion forecast: Roglic creates excitement
Many breakaways have prevailed in this Giro d'Italia in front of the peloton. According to our forecast, this will not happen tomorrow. The favorites won't let the day's victory on the king's stage be taken away. Primois Roglic showed today that he can work on the mountain together with Geraint Thomas is probably the strongest driver. On the Drei Zinnen we will see this exciting duel for stage victory and overall victory again. The Slovenian will make the Giro d'Italia exciting again before the time trial on Saturday.
*** Primoz Roglic (Jumbo – Visma)
** Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers), Joao Almeida (UAE)
* Eddie Dunbar (Jayco - AlUla), Damiano Caruso (Bahrain - Victorious), Lennard Kämna (Bora - hansgrohe)
