Rafael Carrascoformer professional cyclist and former sports director of the historic Kelme teamexamines the ninth stage of the Giro d’Italia for MD.
X-RAY OF THE STAGE
It was a frenetic ending, where the Ineos team controlled the speed at all times. Landa is very good. Even Valverde. The leader, Juan Pedro López, clung on as best he could, bravo for him, and Pello Bilbao had bad luck on stage. I think, when the three of them, Landa, Carapaz and Bardet, left, they didn’t take advantage of the fact that they took Almeida down and reached the end. Don’t miss out on opportunities like today. Ultimately, success in the sprint went to Hinley, who beat them after contacting the top three.
THE FAVORITES
Now there’s a little more, Simon Yates. For the rest, I saw Mikel Landa, fresh. Carapaz was where we expected and Bardet was very strong. These three were favorite riders for me to win the Giro
THE SPANISH
Very good Mikel Landa, very good Valverde at 42 years old, good López, still leading and bad luck for Pello Bilbao, who fell and lost time
THE LANDSCAPE IS BRIGHT
This Sunday the favorites were picked, but I liked Landa a lot and therefore she was one of the great favorites. Carapaz that we already have him and he has the best team by his side, the Ineos. Bardet who is very good and Almeida who is not leading a bit. These four are the strongest I see.
MONDAY, You deserve to rest
This Monday, a day off that will be beneficial for everyone, a little massage, training and starting again on Tuesday in the race with some first stages that are not too difficult
