The last weeks is just NASTY HARD !! 885km with a total elevation gain of 18,961m (an average of 2.1% climb for the WHOLE of the last week ...)
Stage 16 :
Stage 17 :
Stage 18 : Any sprinters still left and alive .... ?
Stage 19:
Stage 20 (The Queen stage and Cima Coppi) - been to the top of both of those climbs
Top of the Passo Fedaia (we went up the easy side)
At a stop in Arraba, we were on our last legs due to a detour due to roadworks, hence the 'sad' biscuits
Made it to the top of Passo Pordoi (we climbed from Arraba. Canazei was where we were based for the week)
Stage 21 : Finish with a 17.4km ITT

Pity about Almeida - he was destined to maybe sneak into the top 3 at the final stage, but the dreaded covid got him
Carapaz & Hindley are soooo closely matched - it'll be a matter of who doesn't crack. Jai's riding a really smart race, but a late puncture in last night's stage almost brought him undone, save for it being 500m within the 3km Zone. PHEW !!!!
Landa could finally be on a good result too. The Shark is too far back realistically, but never say never !
Hope Hirt & Pozzo can stay in the top 10, as for Jai and Buchmann. Hugh also deserves a top 10 for his efforts !
Can't wait, a couple of early mornings coming !!!

Away in the taxi and it's been busy.
Have the highlights recorded at home.

The 'nap' was part of Pordoi descent to that nasty straight part at Fedaia.
I remember going down that descent being glad I wasn’t going the other way.
Have a great panoramic pic of those last curves.

Seems likely. Tonight's TT course is the same as 2019. On that occasion Hindley lost only six sec. to Carapaz, so 1'25" should be a comfortable buffer.

Made me giggle that you specified your nap in kilometres rather than minutes. Maybe you have a future in the Indy Pacific Wheel Race

I have to do it that way, as often don't note the time I fall asleep, but can usually remember the km count ...trailgumby wrote: ↑Sun May 29, 2022 4:41 pmMade me giggle that you specified your nap in kilometres rather than minutes. Maybe you have a future in the Indy Pacific Wheel Race
Won't be staying up to watch the ITT, but will be curious to see what Landa can do ?

Now just need an Aussie to win the Vuelta and we've got all three !
Nice to see Pozzo, Hirt remain in the top 10, as well as Hugh Carthy.
Piti that Valverde didn't. Not.
Now on to the Dauphine !!

Some interesting data from the day before here:
https://lanternerouge.com.au/2022/05/28 ... -from-90s/
6.51W/kg for 18:50 with a VAM of 1877 to drop Carapaz. That's amazing at any stage, let alone at the end of a tour.
