Today the longest stage of this Giro is on the list: between Camaiore and Tortona it is 219 km. And maybe the rain will be there again: Italy gets stormy. At Cesena, by the time the trial arrived on Sunday, the rivers had burst their banks. Follow the eleventh stage, which again provides opportunities for refugees, here with the text.
- 11:50 a.m. Today’s main question is whether the fast guys allow themselves to be eaten by some pacers in the lead group, just like yesterday. & nbsp; Today may be the runners’ last chance for the second week. On Saturday it is still in doubt, depending on the pace of the Simplonpass at the start of the stage. & nbsp; Otherwise, he might be surviving and waiting patiently until next Wednesday for the seventeenth stage. And who are the runners still aboard this peloton? & nbsp; The specter of corona hangs dangerously over all riders in the peloton – sprinters included – and many kilometers uphill over the next 10 days is not inviting either. .

- 11:42 a.m.. there’s the sun! A relief for the riders: The sun is shining at the neutral start in Camaiore. The peloton heads towards the coast, to start this truly 11th stage in the Lido di Camaiore. Does the sun also shine along the Ligurian coast? .

- 11:32 a.m. and starts fifteen minutes later. The journey to northern Italy, where the apotheosis of this Giro is on the programme, continues for this eleventh stage. It goes northwest most of the day. & nbsp; The first half of the stage is along the Ligurian coast, then the course curves more and more north, inland. Riders who were hoping for easier to digest roads along the coast will be disappointed. For example, the peloton turns slightly inward to enter Passo del Bracco after a good 60km run: a 10km climb with an average of 4.4%. .

- 7:34 a.m. Yesterday, a powerful splinter group managed to stay out of the sprinter teams’ grasp. Then we had 2600 altimeters, but especially for the first part of the trip.

Will we finally have a race royal without the turbulence of the place where Fausto Coppi died? This will not be clear.

The peloton is now on the other side of the boot, it also received a full coat of rain yesterday on stage 10, and is leading yellow due to wind, thunderstorms and rain. .
