Summary

Stage 19: Yates wins. Order of arrival and classification

Stage 21, the time trial in Milan

Short fraction but with 4,200 meters in altitude, with all the climbs enclosed in the second part of the route. First 80 flat kilometers after the departure from Verbania, the flying finish line of Cannobio at kilometer 17 is worth noting, then a long approach to the San Bernardino Pass, first ascent of the day. And it is very long. They are in fact 24 kilometers at 6.2% of average gradient and maximum of 12%. Summit at 2065 meters at kilometer 106, then descent for twenty kilometers to take the Spluga Pass, that’s another 9 kilometers at 7% average and 12% maximum. At the top there will be 30 kilometers to the finish, downhill winds then the last 7.3 uphill towards Alpe Motta with an average gradient of 7.6% and a maximum of 13%.

It will probably be a breakaway stage, considering the three climbs and fatigue, the group will struggle to keep the race together. Fraction for non-ranked climbers such as Nieve, Martin, Bennett, Formolo, Bouwman and Fortunato. Attention also to Vincenzo Nibali who will try to leave a mark. The physical conditions are not the best, but yesterday the shark said that an attempt will do it. Last challenge for the general classification between Egan Bernal, Simon Yates, Damiano Caruso, Aleksandr Vlasov, Joao Almeida e Romain Bardet.

Departure from Verbania every 12.20, flying finish line of Cannobio after about half an hour, start of San Bernardino around 2.30 pm, summit almost an hour later, Gpm of Passo Spluga between 16.08 and 16.37, start of Alpe Motta between 16.32 and 17.04, arrival scheduled between 16.55 and 17.31.
