I said it yesterday and I’ll say it again today. For me Geraint Thomasalthough he lost by three seconds today, he is still the top favorite to win here Italy is spinning. I think he will win the Giro in the time trial on Saturday. He may fail, but his morale is through the roof, he will come out last and therefore he will have the reference of his rivals all the time and let’s not forget that he is the current leader and the pink jersey gives wings.
Now, Thomas’s team, IneosHe controlled the stage very well and they had no problem. In the last three kilometers he attacked roglic and he already broke the group of the best, but then Thomas attacked and Roglic answered him at the end, in three seconds we can see how far they hit him. The stage was won by a Colombian, Santiago Buitrago, and in a final like today it is no coincidence that a Colombian wins the stage.
Highlight the work of Movistarwhich is represented by the escape of the two riders, although in the end they do not achieve their goal, but they fight for it.
The Giro will be decided this Saturday in the time trial, a very difficult time trial, which is individual, where there is no help, and where I expect a battle between the best three, Thomas, Roglic and Almeidaespecially between the first two. I repeat, for me Thomas has the advantage, for the reason that he wears the pink jersey of the leader, but we wait to see what happens.
