Rafael Carrascoformer professional cyclist and former sports director of the historic Kelme team, is reviewing the fifth stage of the Giro d’Italia for MD.
1. SELECTION OF PORT SPRINTERS
As expected, the key sprinters dropped to the second category pass unopposed to the finish for the stage win. There was a breakaway of five riders and they were controlled by the peloton. The sprint was reached and Démare won, recovering thanks to his team despite the disruption.
2. ANOTHER DAY FOR FAVORITES
The favorites limited themselves to passing kilometers, without trying anything. They all come together, regaining strength for the coming, with more difficult stages where they can show what their condition is.
3. ‘JUANPE’ LÓPEZ IS STILL THE LEADER
‘Juanpe’ López kept the leader’s ‘pink jersey’ and that was a huge joy for Spanish cycling. Other Spaniards except De la Cruz and Castroviejo who were left behind have already arrived in the group of favorites.
4. ANOTHER DAY OF TRANSITION
On stage this Thursday, the favorites will continue to save energy to go the kilometers. Any unnecessary damage can be important for the future, so aim for a quiet day
5. DAY MARKED FOR ANOTHER SPRINT FINISH
A section of 195 kilometers with a port of the fourth category awaits. In theory nothing should happen. There must be attacks to find the escape, but teams of sprinters and the team leader will try to control the stage to reach the sprint.
