CyclingWednesday, 20 May 2026 at 11:30
Good morning and welcome to the liveblog of the Giro d'Italia. Yesterday marked the return of the race after the second rest day and, despite the riders spending less time in the saddle, it was still a demanding day for the peloton. Today brings a long stage that could offer the breakaway a second victory of the race, although the general classification teams will certainly not allow too much freedom if they want to keep the race under control. We will see what the road has in store. So make sure to stay with us and follow all the action from the race live and minute by minute.

- Yes, he is an anomaly. But still, he is no match to Remco on TT. If GT includes around 200 km of TT, that will shift the profile a bit from pure climbers to generalists. Then, you'll see exciting tactics to compensate for the time loss on TT stages.
KerisVroom20-05-2026 - Great rider but total wheel sucker. No panache like Pog very much in the mould of Sky in their day . Does not make good viewing. But Decathlon only have their selves to blame allowing Vin to sit there and ride like a 4th cat on the climbpaultryan200220-05-2026
- If Giulio Pellizzari's statement that he had to ride 25 W below his intended power plan was correct, then it is estimated that, at a 100%: His stage placing may have been a terrific 5th (between Sjoerd Bax and Derek Gee-West He would likely be 4th or 5th place overall, similar to Felix Gall. It would've been an even more dismal afternoon for Gall, who might have seen himself drop 2 spots on GC
Rafionain-Glas20-05-2026 - Van der Poel (75 kg) is 13.6% heavier than Pogačar (66 kg), who is 13.8% heavier than Vingegaard (58 kg). Pogačar is also of the same height as Vingegaard. Vingegaard overperforms on the flat, given his physiology. Pogačar overperforms on the flat, given his physiology. But it is not surprise that Pogačar is better on the flat. And as for the fact that Pogačar still drops Vingegaard, well, let's not go there right nowRafionain-Glas20-05-2026
- Jonas said that the long, flat parcours simply didn't suit him, which makes sense, as he is so much lighter than the GC contenders who did well. It's also in line with his 'bad day' performance in the largely flat TT at the last Tour.Hills3320-05-2026
- He might be disappointed with himself to have not taken more time on his direct rivals in one fell swoop, but there's a lot of road left yet - what's more exciting right now is the West Australia Cup going on a little further down the GC. Ben O'Connor, Jai Hindley and Michael Storer all repping the mighty Sand People of WA inside the top 10.antipodeanpedalfan20-05-2026
- but see my other comment. look at Tadej in a flat power race like Roubaix. he almost wins his first time out, and second. riding against power guys. he is an anomaly to any rule of cyclingmij20-05-2026
- yeah but look at how Tadej does in a totally flat race like Roubaix - he hangs or beats the power riders. I don’t know what stops Tadejmij20-05-2026
- Like I'm winning, in everything. Litta fella..awp20-05-2026
