Rafael Carrascoformer professional cyclist and former sports director of the historic Kelme team, is reviewing the eighth stage of the Giro d’Italia for MD.
X-RAY OF THE STAGE
Pretty tricky stage. There were exit attacks and a breakaway of 20 runners was made. They had a hard time riding the whole stage, and fell off the hard slope doing a lot of damage. Of the 20 there were 4, a Spaniard, eventually Movistar, Jorge Arcas, and others appeared up to the finish line. Arcas has reached 4th and 3rd. Jorge tried it, he was with the breakaway. Won the fastest
THE FAVORITES
Only the 2nd overall, Kämna, 7 km from the finish line, moved, but the leader López came out to control it, and in what way. No other favorite has been tried by others
THE SPANISH
Jorge Arcas was very good and I really liked López’s reaction when he was attacked by the second general and he responded, for the rest it was all over the peloton
TAKE ONE STEP
Tomorrow will be a difficult and decisive day for favorites. They need to be attentive to each other and respond to any attack, because there will be. The moment of truth has come to Giro
PERIOD OF THE WEEK
Very tough, with five climbs and a high finish in the selective Blockhous, 1st category. A stage of 191 km, a day where things will be very clear for the end of the Giro because it is a decisive stage. Some will answer and others will not.
