Fantasy Giro Stage 18: Victory for Vincenzo

I think we’ve all realized by now that Vincenzo Nibali is the strongest man at the Giro this year.  Just in case we were in any doubt, he went and won the time trial today.

While Cadel Evans was a bit crappy and is now only ten seconds off losing his second place on GC to The Uranator.

As you may have noticed they were mostly not riding those fancy time trial bikes.  They were on those fancy road bikes, as the stage 18 time trial had a bit of an uphill profile.

Stage 19 also has a mountainous profile, or it did at any rate.

 

But with all the rain and snow and such they’ve had to change it up a bit, missing out the Gavia and Stelvio.  I’m sure the likes of Cav are pleased about it, but it still looks a bit challenging to me.

Scores still to come….. are in. For the day.
