CAMEROON MAGAZINE - GM23/10/20207 Mins read87 Views

From the Cyclingnews airship we can see the car Inizio Gara Ciclistica, which signals the start of the race convoy, is almost at the news start in Abbiategrasso

There will undoubtedly be a lot of debate about the riders’ protest, the changes of stage and also what this means for the fight for the overall victory in the Giro

Today’s stage reduction could help Wilco Kelderman recover more and thus help Team Sunweb defend their slim lead over Tao Geoghegan Hart of Ineos

As the racing caravan nears the new starting point in Abbiategrasso, the rain has subsided The runners happy, even though the roads are still wet

RCS Sport deputy director Stefano Allocchio said the stage should now start around 2:30 p.m.

RCS Sport managed to find a large factory car park in Abbiategrasso to accommodate the new start of the race

TV footage from the entry podium captured cheers from the riders when it was confirmed that the stage had been shortened

It’s great to see the & CPA runners unit today As runners we run against each other but we all run with each other October 23, 2020

Buses are currently near Como and therefore still have to face an hour’s drive to reach Abbiategrasso

This means that any departure can be postponed to around 2:30 am, an hour late

The team’s bus caravan is now on the highway near Milan, trying to reach Abbiategrasso as early as possible so that the stage can start at the scheduled time of 1:30 CET

started not to accept this and a demonstration started to happen It was nice to see the riders staying together We negotiated with the organizer to shorten the stage so that the race could still take place We are all happy to do so We will all do our best to put on a show today https: // tco / GiG8KCZbKn October 23, 2020

Adam Hansen explained the position of some of the Giro riders via Twitter, revealing that they had asked for the stage to be shortened last night, but this was refused

With heavy rains at the start, some riders hesitated to run, resulting in a reduction in the stage distance

It seems that some teams and some riders wanted to run but the majority won and the stage was reduced, the convoy to the new start cutting 133 km

Just to clarify things This was presented yesterday with today’s stage being very long in the rain with our immune system suppressed during a pandemic This was not accepted This morning as all the runners were in the tent, no one went to the start line and the runners 1/2 https: // tco / GiG8KCZbKn October 23, 2020

Team buses and racing vehicles are currently being escorted by police along the original route via Lake Como, then south towards Milan

Without the police escort, they likely wouldn’t have made it to Abbiategrasso in time for the scheduled start time of 1:30 a.m.

The race will resume in Abbiategrasso (MI), keeping active all intermediate sprints from there La corsa ripartirà da Abbiategrasso (MI), mantenendo attivi tutti i traguardi flyingi da lì to poi # Giro picTwittercom / 0F3JYp3UZRO 23 October 2020

Tao Geoghegan Hart and Ineos Grenadiers had a day of mixed emotions on stage 18 of the Giro d’Italia, dominating the race on the Stelvio and moving within reach of the maglia rosa, but missing a victory of ‘prestigious stage and the leader

They are minimizing their chances of victory overall but will surely go on the attack on Saturday on the climbs in Sestriere

In the general classification, Hindley is only 12 seconds behind her leader, with three stages to go

Sestriere summit finish on Saturday favors Australian The short time trial final in Milan the next day benefits Kelderman As with Roche and Visentini, Simoni and Cunego, and all other intra-team rivalries in the The history of racing raises an obvious question: who is the boss?

Barry Ryan was at the finish of the stage and captured the true feeling of Hindley and Kelderman

Jai Hindley (Team Sunweb) took victory at Laghi di Cancano, ending a day of great racing drama by edging Tao Geoghegan Hart (Ineos Grenadiers) at the line after six hours of racing in the Dolomites

Pello Bilbao (Bahrain McLaren) took third place at the top, 46 seconds later, but the biggest story of the stage was the collapse of the maglia rosa João Almeida (Deceuninck-QuickStep) who was dropped 48 kilometers from the line on the Passo dello Stelvio as Sunweb picked up the pace

The Dutch team are now in the driver’s seat with three stages remaining, with their man Wilco Kelderman taking the lead despite being abandoned by the leading group of Hindley, Geoghegan Hart and Rohan Dennis atop the Stelvio and riding alone 46 kilometers until the finish

As the Giro d’Italia caravan travels by bus to the new start somewhere in Milan, it’s a great opportunity to look back on the great race of yesterday’s stage over the Stelvio

Several different starting points have been reported but the organizer of the Giro d’Italia RCS Sport has not yet confirmed the start of the stage

Taking into account the weather situation, the race was neutralized at Km 8 Will follow updates on restart La tappa, viste le condizioni atmosferiche, è stata neutralizzata al km 8 Seguiranno aggiornamenti per la precisa ripartenza della corsa # Giro picTwittercom / jURSxSpey623 October 2020

🇮🇹 #GiroThe start of stage 19 is delayed after a demonstration The stage will now be shortened We will keep you posted as soon as we have new details imageTwittercom / 6FZjyxiXdo23 October 2020

As the buses descend the Valtellina with a police escort, RAI Tv now suggests that the new starting stage will be in Abbiategrasso, west of Milan

This will mean a 107 km stage, cutting 150 km from the stage Abbiategrasso is a better starting point than Como as it will allow the race convoy to arrive via the off-course route

The stage would start around 1:30 am to respect the original race program and the live television program

Thank you to the jury and the organizer of the #Giro for listening to the request #CPA #health is the priority, especially in this time #COVID Reducing the scene today will not diminish the show, but allow the immune defenses of #riders not to be endangered📸Monguzzi picTwittercom / 1ZKmVq8CdRO October 23, 2020

It seems the riders were also mad at the long transfers and traffic problems last night after the stage on the Stelvio Some teams had to make a long drive through the Valtellina valley during the hours of rushes and therefore arrived late in their hotels

As the rain falls, the racing trailer set off together for the new starting location.It looks like all of the team’s vehicles and buses will have a police escort to make sure they stay together and reach the starting point on time

Bernhard Eisel is a former rider and has often represented riders in discussions about safety and race changes He now works for Eurosport and GCN and is in Italy He defends the rider’s protest

I know you want to see races, but since the last day off the riders have had very hard and extremely long stage transfers over 3 hours a day Breakfast 🚌 – 7 a.m. 🚴🏼‍♀️ 🏔 🚌 the 3rd week of GT The riders are tired, they are exhausted and it is not a normal year # respecttheriders23 October 2020

The racing caravan is still stopped on the road a few kilometers south of Morbegno There is a discussion about the starting point of the stage It looks like it could start in Como and therefore after a reduction of 75 km

#Giro the race is definitely on The team buses are racing to pick up the riders and get the real start around Como good call from the riders, but again, should have been discussed and decided last night Big mess here right now # Giro103 @Eurosport @gcntweet picTwittercom / AeYlxwkKxFO October 23, 2020

❕After discussions before the start, the decision was made to shorten today’s stage The riders will go by bus closer to the finish and then take the 150 km to Asti #AstanaProTeam #Giro picTwittercom / qv2s24cAn023 October 2020

The Giro d’Italia has stopped but it seems that they are still waiting for the arrival of two team buses to collect their riders

Riders now stop on a long straight section of road, it looks like the buses will stop

From the Cyclingnews airship we can see that the riders rode together but the race was neutralized as they wait for the team buses to join them

The runners will no doubt be happy to avoid 100 km in the rain and can relax in the team buses during the journey south

Giro d’Italia director Mauro Vegini will probably not be so happy after the late event and a decision taken minutes before the official rollout

Our man on the race Barry Ryan has seen riders return to their buses They will now pass through the Valtellina valley near Milan for the expected second start of the new reduced stage

According to Italian television, the runners will now get on the buses and head for Milan, with the last 150 kilometers covered as planned

At the moment, no one seems to know how far they will ride before getting on the team bus and how much of the 258 km stage will be covered

Big meeting before the start of today’s stage @giroditalia @HansenAdam meeting with the #UCI stewards and the race director Mauro Vegni of #RCS more info soon @Eurosport @GcnRacing picTwittercom / ftdlAInqUg23 October 2020

After discussions, Italian TV RAI announced that the stage will start, then the riders will travel by team bus on the course and finish a shorter section of the stage

It is raining in Morbegno and it seems that the riders are not satisfied with the length of the stage and almost seven hours in the rain after a third week of stages close to 200 km
