Un carré pour un titre: l’Equatorien Richard Carapaz aborde en tête la dernière semaine du Giro mais son avantage est minime sur ses trois suivants, l’Australien Jai Hindley, le Portugais Joao Almeida et l’Espagnol, à l’Espagnol’ Accurate.
Richard Karabaz has many assets. Experience victory first, since the Olympic champion in Tokyo already won the Giro in 2019, in the colors of the Movistar team that then left for Ineos. Then durability. “Locomotive de Carchi” is unaffected by stresses and weather conditions, and its “Locomotive de Carchi” in Ecuador provides reassuring guarantees of its formation. “I feel better than I did in 2019Ecuadorean claimed.I really focused on being strong in the mountains. It’s going to be a tough week for sure but we’re ready“.
Hindley’s rise
Blockhouse WinnerAustralian Guy Hindley impressed in the Turin theater with ease and freshness. He pointed 7 seconds behind Carapaz, who has experience in the Giro 2020, when he lost the pink jersey at the time of the trial on the final day. To his advantage, Hindley also has the backing of a successful team, so far more consistent than the Emirates at Almeida and Bahrain Landa. Even if the Portuguese has the advantage of experiencing one last time in Verona and Landa his mountain qualities.
In this tired gyro, according to Carapaz, the buildup of fatigue is a key factor. Especially since the weather forecast announces precipitation for the sixteenth stage final leading up to Aprica, assuming the cards will be re-shuffled 5 days after the end.
