00:02Questo è il perfetto.
00:02Quo'è ancora pensato di riuscire a Roma in pink?
00:04Non si può affrontare non preparare oggi.
00:08Questo è il perfetto.
00:14133 km da Aosta a Tupila,
00:17uno dei più anticipati di montagne stagioni,
00:20dove il risultato non è possibile.
00:22Oggi, i G.C. contenders conservi l'energia
00:25e finalmente hanno dato l'interno per il breakaway.
00:27In Verbania, Alberto Betiol
00:30wrote to a solo victory,
00:31delivering Italy its third win of this Giro.
00:38Non è mai banale vincere il Giro d'Italia
00:40con tutto questo tifo che sentivo,
00:42è stato bellissimo.
00:44Alfonso Lallio is ready to face
00:45his ninth day in pink,
00:47but it could also be his last.
00:49Ah, look, it's super hard,
00:51and it's quite warm today.
00:53We just try to save as much as possible
00:55and do my best.
00:57The Portuguese rider
00:59leads the general classification
01:00with just a 33 second advantage
01:02over Jonas Vingegaard.
01:04After this, Jonas for sure
01:06will do a strong attack.
01:08Eulaglio,
01:09yeah, he looks strong,
01:11so we have to do our best
01:12to try to take the pink jersey.
01:14Menhanenspan sits third
01:15at two minutes and two seconds.
01:17In Valle d'Aosta
01:18anything can happen.
01:20Time and again,
01:20this region has proven decisive
01:22for the final outcome of the Giro.
01:24On these mountains,
01:25twenty years ago,
01:26Ivan Basso built his path
01:28to overall victory.
01:29He finished second in Letul,
01:30but one thing became clear
01:32to everyone that day.
01:33Taking the pink jersey from him
01:34would be impossible.
01:36The tappa di La Tuille
01:38is certainly a record
01:39important for my career.
01:40It's been my first round in Italy
01:42and the first red jersey
01:43that you wear
01:44remains in time.
01:45Five categorized climbs,
01:474,350 meters of elevation gain.
01:50From Aosta,
01:51the peloton will cross a region
01:52rich in history.
01:54Valleys dominated by ancient castles
01:56and breathtaking landscapes,
01:57where towering mountains
01:58await the riders.
02:00From the very start,
02:01it will be a relentless up and down.
02:03The first climb leads to San Barthelemy,
02:05nearly 16 kilometers at 6.1%,
02:07followed by a long descent back to Aosta.
02:10Then comes the easier ascent of Duz,
02:12the Col du Linoir,
02:13at 7.4 kilometers at 7.9%,
02:15and the climb of Veronjev.
02:17But it's not over yet.
02:19In Grezan,
02:20the final ascent begins,
02:21a long and demanding climb
02:22where riders will have to fight
02:24with everything they have left
02:25to reach the finish in Pila,
02:27just under 1,800 meters above sea level.
02:30Jonas Vingegaard is the man to watch.
02:32Many will be on the defensive,
02:34while others,
02:34like Giulio Bellizzari,
02:35will be chasing a podium finish.
02:37And keep an eye on Felix Gall,
02:39the Austrian who thrives on long climbs
02:41and will be perfectly suited to this terrain.
02:44Is it possible to recover?
02:45Yes, we will.
02:47We are just getting started actually.
02:49Yeah,
02:49now the hard stage is still coming
02:51and today is the first one.
02:53A spectacular stage is guaranteed.
03:02It's over 30 degrees Celsius at the start in Aosta
03:05and despite the altitude,
03:07temperatures will not drop below 25 degrees C.
03:14the opening kilometers are all uphill towards San Bartelme.
03:17Attacks come one after another at the front,
03:20but Team Visma is not willing to give any space.
03:36Today, Jonas Vingegaard wants to win,
03:39and he is making no effort to hide it.
03:46The long line of riders snakes through the natural beauty of the Aosta valley.
03:54Up front, a large breakaway group forms,
03:57with Christen and van der Lee immediately pushing a hard pace.
04:19to the top of the KOM,
04:21with Christen and van der Lee.
04:25with Christen and van der Lee.
04:28At the top of the KOM, van der Lee crosses first.
04:32About 20 riders are chasing behind the leaders
04:35while the peloton trails by 1 minute and 25 seconds,
04:39controlling the gap for now.
04:40We are reading the order of passing
04:43to the Grand Prix of the mountain of San Bartelme.
04:47First position for van der Lee.
04:50Second, Christen.
04:52Third, position.
04:5461, Ciccone.
04:56Fourth, Rubio Reyes.
04:58Fifth, position for Rieta.
05:02Fifth, position for Cepeda.
05:09During the long descent back to Aosta,
05:11the breakaway comes back together.
05:15There are now 23 riders challenging the pink jersey group.
05:18Four from team Movistar,
05:20three from Pinarello,
05:21and three from UAE team.
05:24The flat section allows the riders to recover
05:26and take on supplies from the team cars,
05:29but it will soon be time to climb again.
05:35At the intermediate sprint in Roizan,
05:38it is a full sprint effort.
05:39Jonathan Narvaez crosses the line first with ease
05:42and becomes the virtual cyclamen jersey.
05:44Meanwhile, the peloton's gap is approaching 3 minutes.
05:48Petrol acceleration under the tank though.
05:50Blast clear, takes those 12 points.
06:18The Dua's climb is the easiest of the day,
06:20just 5.8 km.
06:23to the summit.
06:23Igor Arrieta reaches the summit first
06:25and tries to push on solo.
06:27Passage to the Grand Premio of the mountain.
06:30First, transit number 192, Arrieta.
06:33Second, number 48, Van der Lee.
06:36Third, number 61, 61, Ciccone.
06:40And fourth, number 216, 216, Lechmesson.
06:47At the front of the peloton,
06:49nothing has changed since the start.
06:50Team Visma-Lisabai continues its relentless pace setting,
06:54supported by Bahrain Victorious.
06:56Mediati simitori di arrieta sono a 16 secondi.
07:01So Ciccone, that is the first big move for him
07:04in the King of the Mountains classification.
07:08Among the GC contenders, Viggaard and Eulaglio
07:10look comfortable,
07:11while their teammates are doing an outstanding job on the front.
07:24with a sharp acceleration, Giulio Ciccone takes maximum points at the summit, collecting 40.
07:30The peloton trails at 3 minutes and 15 seconds.
07:35Team Visma keeps the pace high and starts to close the gap.
07:38It looks increasingly likely that everything will be decided on the final climb.
07:42Ciccone is full of energy, another surge,
07:45and he crests the Verona climb in first position.
07:52Viggaard, il gruppo campionato della montagna,
07:542 minuti e 34 secondi.
07:56Il gruppo Magna Rosa va.
07:58Torbini è anche il numero 48, Wanderli.
08:04Now, 14 km of descent awaited.
08:09It's a full speed plunge towards the base of the final climb.
08:14The riders at the front believe in it and they're going all in.
08:20Having done all that work,
08:21that was a sneaky little move there from Jan here to try and take a catch prize.
08:26Donovan is the first to cross the Red Bull KM.
08:28From this point on, the road climbs all the way to the finish.
08:35Iniziata la salita finale,
08:38verso i 1793 metri del traguardo di Pila.
08:46Passaggi alla chilometro Red Bull.
08:57Il ritardo del gruppo Magna Rosa è di 1 minuto e 58 secondi.
09:04In the pink jersey group,
09:05only about 30 riders remain.
09:07Team Visma continues to set a relentless pace.
09:11With 9 km to go,
09:13Alfonso Lallio is forced to say goodbye to his dream.
09:22Jonas Wingergaard launches his attack on the steeper section
09:25and no one is able to hold his wheel.
09:31Wingergaard is greeted by huge crowds cheering him on from the roadside.
09:35The Dane shows no sign of weakness.
09:48For Wingergaard, it's now a done deal.
09:53Waiting for him at the finish line is not only the stage victory but also the pink jersey.
09:58He comes to the Giro Italia.
10:01He has not won the race yet.
10:03But he has taken one giant leap with this victory.
10:06This is a masterful statement to the Giro.
10:14What a big ride, boy.
10:16Really good.
10:17Wow!
10:20Yes!
10:24I think the pink jersey is one of the most special in cycling
10:27and it's something I'm really happy with.
10:29A lot of young guys, young kids, are dreaming of having a pink jersey.
10:33Another sensational success for Jonas Wingergaard,
10:35who once again proves unbeatable on the climbs.
10:39Felix Gall had to surrender immediately, finishing 49 seconds behind.
10:43As expected, the stage in Valle d'Aosta has delivered its verdict,
10:46reshaping the general classification.
10:48Wingergaard leads comfortably with a 2 minute 20 second advantage over Eulaglio
10:53and 2 minutes 50 seconds over Gall.
10:55After the demanding alpine stage,
10:58the general classification riders will have a chance to catch their breath,
11:02leaving room for the sprinters who will finally get their opportunity.
11:05The 157 kilometers from Voghera to Milan are completely flat.
11:10After the start, the route follows part of the historic Milan-Sanremo course
11:14before entering a 16.3-kilometer finishing circuit to be repeated four times.
11:19Corso Venezia will host what could be the final chance for the sprinters before the grand finale in Rome.
