The 18th stage of the Tour of Italy this Thursday, May 23 is a transition stage for the riders.
The essential
- After several days in the mountains, the Giro riders are entitled to a little rest with a transition stage presenting no difficulty. 178 kilometers are on the program between Fiera di Primiero and Padua
- If the breakaway can go to the end, the sprinters’ teams will try to lock in the race and Jonathan Milan could sign another success.
- In the general classification, the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar is alone in the world and well ahead of this Giro.
Live
11:02 – An unchanged general ranking
Pogacar may not have won the 17th stage of this Giro yesterday, but he further increased his lead in the general classification, which he is almost guaranteed to win with more than seven and a half minutes ahead of Daniel Martinez.
11:01 – A transitional stage
After two very difficult days in the Dolomites, the peloton leaves the mountain for a stage of 171 towards Venice. The organizations should be less stressed and a sprinter could win again, unless the fatigue of the last few days allows a breakaway to leave the peloton behind.
