The Real Giro 2026 Afternoon

[team fl]

Well, it was not Pyry, he finished third. It was a Domingo again, Gonzales this time, to win a stage at the Giro, stage 10, the only ITT this year, in front of his team mate Raul Valero, both from Equip Ciclista Poblenou. Fourth and the new leader in the GC, the guy in Rosa, is Jamshid Abdurashitov form SouthWest Packers, not very surprisingly. The former wearer of Rosa, Moreno Ottema, finished fifth, but more than 2 minutes behind Abdurashitov. A huge leap in GC has been made by Gabriel Lafuente (Big Donkey), now sitting at place 3 more than 1 min ahead of place 4 after finishing 8th today. Then it gets tight. Between place 4 (Uros Urbanek from L RSV) and place 16 (Magnus Jensen from Falcor) are only 82 seconds. In the youth classement Dong Thong (RC Cost) overtook Finn Bennett (Confidential Era) for place 3, while Burger still rides in white in front of Alborghetti, but with a closer gap after the ITT. Let's see who will be fit for tomorrow, 195 km of hills. Will it be a group again for the stage win? And how will SWP control for Rosa? Until we find out, here are the stats:

[Tukhtahuaev]

Good TT for Alborghetti all things considered, but without another mountain training it still seems almost impossible to beat Burger for white. Maybe a small chance to do something today, but profile does not seem difficult enough
