Велоспорт: Джиро д'Италия 2019

The 102nd edition of the Giro d'Italia kicks off today in Bologna with a tricky individual time-trial, it is just 8 kilometers long but it ends with a sharp climb and that bit could make all the difference. Here are the odds for stage 1 at Campeonbet:

Primoz Roglic - 1.57

Tom Dumoulin - 4.00

Simon Yates - 7.50

Bob Jungels - 23.00

Ion Izagirre - 23.00

Victor Campenaerts - 34.00

Pello Bilbao - 41.00

Vincenzo Nibali - 67.00

Mikel Landa - 67.00

Tao Geoghegan Hart - 67.00

Valerio Conti - 81.00

Laurens De Plus - 81.00

Good luck!

Primoz Roglic will wear the pink jersey for the first time in his career after a supreme performance in the time-trial, while Yates and Nibali also performed very well. Tom Dumoulin was slightly below the expectations today.

Today's stage two is one for the sprinters, even though there are a couple of small climbs along the 205km route from Bologna to Fucecchio. Here are the odds for stage two at Campeonbet:

Fernando Gaviria - 5.25

Elia Viviani - 5.50

Pascal Ackermann - 6.00

Caleb Ewan - 8.00

Arnaud Demare - 13.00

Davide Cimolai - 17.00

Giacomo Nizzolo - 21.00

Good luck!

Pacal Ackermann timed his sprint perfectly and grabbed his first victory at the Giro d'Italia, he beat Ewan and Viviani right at the line.

Today's stage 3 is another one for the sprinters, the 220km route between Vinci and Orbetello doesn't have any significant difficulties so we'll surely have another fast finale and a battle between the fastest men in the bunch. Here are the odds for stage 3 at Campeonbet:

Elia Viviani - 2.75

Pascal Ackermann - 3.00

Caleb Ewan - 5.75

Fernando Gaviria - 5.75

Arnaud Demare - 8.50

Davide Cimolai - 34.00

Giacomo Nizzolo - 34.00

Bob Jungels - 41.00

Jakub Mareczko - 41.00

Good luck!

We had a pretty messy sprint at the end of stage 3, Elia Viviani won it on the road but he did make a pretty dangerous move during the spring and the jury decided to demote him. That decision gives Fernando Gaviria the stage win. Tao Geoghegan Hart was caught in the rear side of the bunch by a crash with 5 km left and he lost 1 minute and 30 seconds in the general classification.

Today's stage 4 from Orbetello to Frascati takes the riders through rolling terrain to a finish that is mostly uphill, the last kilometer has an average gradient of 4% and the last 2.5km are entirely uphill. The pure sprinters won't be able to fight for victory on that finish, we might even see a quick battle between the general classification men. Here are the odds for the stage win at Campeonbet:

Caleb Ewan - 3.75

Diego Ulissi - 9.00

Arnaud Demare - 9.00

Primoz Roglic - 10.00

Juan Jose Lobato - 15.00

Jay McCarthy - 17.00

Simon Yates - 19.00

Enrico Battaglin - 21.00

Davide Cimolai - 23.00

Marco Canola - 26.00

Pascal Ackermann - 29.00

Fernando Gaviria - 29.00

Good luck!

It was a hectic finale today, a crash ripped through the bunch with 6 km left before the finish and several riders were caught out. The biggest victim of the day was Tom Dumoulin, who finished four minutes behind the winner and with a pretty nasty-looking knock on his left knee. Anyway, the sprint was reduced to just a handful of riders and in the end it was Richard Carapaz who had the most energy at the finish.

Primoz Roglic was astute and strong enough to remain with the first group, while the likes of Nibali and Yates lost 16 seconds in the general classification.

10 Davide Formolo (Ita) Bora-Hansgrohe 0:01:06

Today's stage from Frascati to Terracina is short, just 140km, and the last 40 km are flat as a pancake, so we'll definitely have a mass sprint at the line. Here are the odds for stage 5 at Campeonbet:

Elia Viviani - 2.62

Pascal Ackermann - 3.75

Fernando Gaviria - 5.50

Caleb Ewan - 8.00

Arnaud Demare - 12.00

Matteo Moschetti - 23.00

Good luck!

Yeah what a bad luck for Dumoulin yesterday, he doesn't look to enter the Giro on the pick of his form but still he would of been considered as one of the main favorites for the GC, hopefully he'll be OK to at least continue in the race.

Roglic looks quite impressive this season but let's see if he can handle the pressure and fatigue  off a 3 weeks race, can't wait for the mountain stages to come.

Pascal Ackermann grabbed his second stage win, he was the fastest sprinter under the rain in Terracina and he consolidated his place at the top of the points jersey classification as well.

P.S.: Tom Dumoulin abandoned the race.

Stage 6 coming up today and it's a tricky one, it's 238 km long and it features a second-category climb that ends 15 km before the finish line. Who has the courage to attack might be rewarded here, let's see the odds for the stage win at BetEasy:

Diego Ulissi - 8.50

Friday's stage 7 is another one that could favour a breakaway success, the route between Vasto and L'Aquila features several hills and the finish line is at the top of a short but steep climb. Here are the odds for the stage win at BetEasy:

Giulio Ciccone  -9.50

Primoz Roglic - 10.00

Stage 8 is another hilly one and it's quite long, 239 km between Tortoreto Lido and Pesaro. In fact, it is the longest stage of this year's race and the last 100 km are packed with short climbs. Might be another breakaway victory today but a sprint finish is on the cards as well, let's see the odds at BetEasy:

Pascal Ackermann - 4.00

Caleb Ewan - 4.50

Elia Viviani - 6.50

Arnaud Demare - 9.00

Enrico Battaglin - 21.00

Davide Cimolai - 34.00

Florian Senechal - 34.00

Andrea Vendrame - 34.00

Vincenzo Nibali - 34.00

Good luck!

Stage 8 did end with a sprint after all and this time Caleb Ewan was the fastest, beating Viviani and Ackermann to the line.

Today's stage 9 will surely bring some significant changes to the general classification, it's an individual time trial from Riccione to San Marino. The route is almost 35 km long, the first half is fairly flat, but the second is almost entirely uphill and that will make a big difference. Here are the odds for the stage win at BetEasy:

Primoz Roglic - 1.27

Simon Yates - 6.00

Vincenzo Nibali - 13.00

Bob Jungels - 26.00

Victor Campenaerts - 26.00

Chad Haga - 34.00

Tao Geoghegan - 41.00

Ion Izagirre - 51.00

Miguel Angel Lopez - 51.00

Rafa Majka - 81.00

Pello Bilbao - 81.00

Good luck!

A tough day for the riders under a heavy rain, but not for Roglic, who cruised to victory and gained significant time over his GC rivals. Simon Yates had a terrible day and ended up losing more than three minutes to Roglic, while Valerio Conti somehow managed to hold on to his pink jersey.

Today's stage 12 from Cuneo to Pinerolo has the first real mountain of this year's Giro, the riders will have to go past the Montoso climb, which is 8.8km long with an average gradient of 9.5%. There will still be around 35km left from the summit of that climb until the finish, so the riders who might have problems on the ascent could make a comeback on the way down. 

Here are the odds for stage 12 at BetEasy: 

Primoz Roglic - 11.00
Simon Yates - 11.00
Richie Carapaz - 13.00
Diego Ulissi - 15.00

Good luck! 

We had another successful breakaway in stage 12, and the pink jersey changes holder once again. However, there weren't any major differences between the big favourites, only Mikel Landa and Miguel Angel Lopez managed to grab around 30 seconds on the others.

We'll have a spectacular stage today between Pinerolo and Ceresole Reale, with three big climbs and the finish line at the end of a massive 20.3 km ascent. The final 6 km have an average gradient of 8.9% and that's most likely where the differences will be made. Here are the odds for stage 13 at BetEasy: 

Miguel Angel Lopez - 5.00
Mikel Landa - 7.50
Vincenzo Nibali - 9.00

Stage 13 profile

Ilnur Zakarin was rewarded for a brave ride today, he did very well to win the stage and he also recovered some of his gap in the general classification. Bauke Mollema and Mikel Landa also attacked and gained some time on rivals Primoz Roglic and Vincenzo Nibali, who arrived at the finish together. Simon Yates lost even more time, along with Miguel Angel Lopez, who had a mechanical problem at a very bad moment. Jan Polanc keeps the pink jersey for UAE Team Emirates for now, but he will most likely lose it by the end of the week.

Today's stage 14 is short and intense, it's just 131 kilometers long but there are five climbs packed into it. The penultimate climb is a real monster, 9.8% average gradient on 10.5 kilometers, with peaks of 15%. There will surely be plenty of attacks and we might see a change of leader, I doubt that Polanc will be able to defend the pink jersey again. Here are the odds for this stage at BetEasy: 

Miguel Angel Lopez - 5.00
Mikel Landa - 6.00
Richie Carapaz - 6.00
Vincenzo Nibali - 11.00
Primoz Roglic - 13.00

Stage 14 profile

We have witnessed a huge performance from Richard Carapaz today, he bravely attacked on the penultimate climb and didn't stop until the finish, always pushing on the pedals. The result? He grabbed his second stage win at this year's Giro and he will also get to wear the pink jersey for the first time in his life! Yates managed to get a few seconds back on the other favourites, while Nibali snatched four bonus seconds on Roglic and Landa.

Stage 15 from Ivrea to Como is a hilly one, it might lead to another breakaway victory if the teams of the GC favourites will allow it. We could also have some fighting between the general classification contenders, especially on the last climb. Here are the odds for stage 15 at BetEasy: 

Vincenzo Nibali - 6.50
Richie Carapaz - 7.50
Miguel Angel Lopez - 9.00
Simon Yates - 9.50
Mikel Landa - 11.00
Primoz Roglic - 13.00
Pello Bilbao - 17.00
Rafa Majka - 17.00
Giulio Ciccone - 21.00
Thomas de Gendt - 21.00

Good luck! 

The breakaway provided the winner on stage 15, Dario Cataldo pulled it off this time. Roglic had a pretty bad day, first he had a mechanical problem and had to swap bikes, then had a close call on a descent and eventually lost 40 seconds to Nibali and Carapaz.

Carapaz looking very strong now, isn't he!?!

And Roglic has shown some signs of nerves yesterday.

I just hope Simon Yates would be back to his best in the third week which could only help for the entertainment of the race I believe, but whatever happens it's have to be an exiting 3-rd week, surely.

I didn't miss a stage so far even the boring 200km+ flat ones and I can't wait to see the rest of it.

I really like the way he's riding, he's quite brave. I think Movistar are in a great situation with him in pink and Landa in the top five, they could take turns in attacking Roglic and Nibali. 

Today we have the "queen stage" of this year's Giro d'Italia, an extremely tough climbing day that should have been even tougher. In fact, the race organizers decided last week to take out the Gavia climb from today's route because of the high risk of avalanches through that mountain pass. However, the stage remains incredibly tough and the Mortirolo climb should do quite a bit of damage. 

Here are the odds for stage 16 at BetEasy: 

Richie Carapaz - 4.50
Vincenzo Nibali - 5.00
Miguel Angel Lopez - 5.50

Yeah, I agree Johnny, with so tough mountain stages in the third week to come they've had all the chances to gain even more time.

Watch out for Yates though?

Yeah, looking at the profile graphic I don't see this stage become much easier after the passo  Gavia removal?

It has to be a great action today and why not some huge margins being opened between the favs, plus it's just after the rest day and that's usually tricky for some off the riders, have to be great for us...not for them obviously?

Giulio Ciccone pulled off a majestic ride today, he all but secured his place in command of the mountains classification and also managed to overcome his obvious discomfort with the cold during the final descent to grab the victory at the sprint over breakaway companion Jan Hirt. Back in the favourites group, it was Vincenzo Nibali who set off the fireworks on the Mortirolo and eventually it was Primoz Roglic who paid the price, arriving alongside Simon Yates around 1 minute and 20 seconds behind Nibali and Carapaz. The Ecuadorian rider is now the big favourite for the final win, but we still have a tough mountain stage coming up on Saturday before the final time trial battle in Verona on Sunday.

Today's stage 17 is not as difficult as what the riders had to go through yesterday, but it still has an uphill finish that could cause problems to some general classification contenders. Here are the odds for the stage at BetEasy: 

Vincenzo Nibali - 10.00
Simon Yates - 11.00
Miguel Angel Lopez - 11.00
Richie Carapaz - 13.00
Hugh Carthy - 15.00

Stage 17 profile

Roglic looks in trouble now, Movistar has been the best unit as a team yesterday or Carapaz could of been in trouble as well.

Expected more from Yates but the race is still open I guess, surely Nibali won't be happy with the classification as it stands right now so let's see what will happen today.

The breakaway pulled off the win again, this time it was Nans Peters who was the bravest as he soloed to victory. Nibali lost a bit of time to Carapaz on the final climb, it was an off day for the Italian.

Friday's stage 19 is a tricky one for the general classification contenders, it doesn't feature huge climbs, but it does have an uphill finish and the final climb is long enough to make some damage. Here are the odds for stage 19 at BetEasy:

Decisive stage coming up today, the last mountain stage of this year's race. I expect Nibali to attack and Roglic might also try something if he feels well. Here are the odds for stage 20 at BetEasy: 

Miguel Angel Lopez Moreno - 3.50
Mikel Landa - 6.50
Vincenzo Nibali - 10.00
Richard Carapaz - 10.00

Stage 20 profile

Pello Bilbao rescued the day for Astana after their leader Miguel Angel Lopez was brought down by a spectator on the final climb and ended up losing a lot of time to the other GC contenders. Speaking of the general classification, Richard Carapaz almost sealed the deal as the arrived at the finish line together with Nibali and way ahead of Primoz Roglic, who even lost his third place in the overall rankings.

Richard Carapaz pulled off a historic achievement, he becomes the first Ecuadoran to win a Grand Tour and he will probably inspire a lot of youngsters from his nation to take up this sport. Vincenzo Nibali had a great time trial, while Roglic barely managed to grab the third place overall. As for the stage, Chad Haga grabbed the win to rescue things for the unfortunate Team Sunweb.

Yeah, Carapaz has been the most consistent rider but really Movistar dominated the race as a team helping him in some really keen moments and controlling the race as a whole, it's certainly a long awaited success for them in the grand tours and they just shown the best form as a unit.
