Rafael Carrascoformer professional cyclist and former sports director of the historic Kelme team, is reviewing the third stage of the Giro d’Italia for MD.
1. CAVENDISH, KING OF SPRINT
Everyone in the group was calm and, as expected, the sprint had been reached. There was a breakaway of three runners not long after, so the sprinter teams sped up when they became interested in the massive arrival. He won over a pure sprinter, Cavendish, with 160 wins.
2. PEACE OF MIND WITH FAVORITES
They just thought of coming and doing miles, calmly. Really nothing moves, thinking about the journey that awaits them in Italy. They all came together, no problem. Calm day for them.
3. CASTROVIEJO, THE MOST ACTIVE
The Spaniards limited themselves to making the stage route and came along with the main group. Castroviejo worked a bit for Richard Carapaz to lead the pack in the fourth climb in the category, but didn’t try anything.
4. WEAR AFTER THE STAGE
After the stage, the trip to Italy awaits for riders, mechanics and directors. This will be a difficult stage post for all parts of the teams, because apart from the usual routine with massages, this addition is expected. It will be difficult to reorganize and change countries.
5. FROM REST DAY ON MONDAY UNTIL THE BIG CHALLENGE ON TUESDAY
Monday will be a day of massages and leg stretching exercises. Tuesday’s stage, at Etna and 172 kilometers away, will make a difference. There will be a battle between the favorites, with a high end in the volcano. The stage could cause problems in some of them and, certainly, a change of leader. It’s time for Yachts, Carapaz, López and Landa.
