the maritime Jewel and old imperial capital that is Venice Riders winding its way past its rivers climbing its prco Hills and mountains with sobering and bloody history Monte Grappa a double shot of Grappa and a finish in basan graa nine times in the history of the Jalia the race have visited here with copy and Merks among the past winners today poach had led the J Italia by almost 8 minutes GC realistically done and dusted and he’ signaled his intention to want to win this stage that meant it would be play your cards right to get in the Breakaway and really hope less chance of going to the Finish but that didn’t deter the early attacks Petro Bon and steinhauser were giving it a go Fernandez trying Sanchez there again ballerini up there with germani it took 30ks roughly for that break to develop Ki janson’s Mahan vendra already a stage when a 24 hours previous were in it turns as well and eventually 11 Riders would take four minutes with UAE Emirates quick to control towards the first Ascent of two of Monte Grappa Riders were already starting to lose contact behind Migel B and vas stenen were already starting to work too as many said goodbye to the pelan it was a hard stage ridden again at warp speed UA more than halfing the gap on the first Ascent even season Pros like pivo were fighting to hold the wheels everybody desperate to hold their GC places near the top Julio pelari attacked to take the maximum Mountain points he wasn’t able to mathematically win the king of the mountains competition at two will go to Pacha however he was able to make sure he’d be wearing the blue jersey on the final day in Rome one by one they were chased down vendam the next to come back a long descent towards the next Ascent so Sanchez PADI out there pad will be joined by a teammate to ride on the flat for a couple of kilometers that will be alesandro Corelli Sanchez stage winner already at this jro left behind by the youngest rider in the race and going on to the final climb he had 2 and a half minutes on a hungry chasing UAE team they were hoping to produce a sixth stage win for Bater at the race could he pull it off bellari the young hope still pulling out time and Pacha was asking for the pace to be increased that until it got down to less than a minute Thomas already in a little bit of trouble here ok Conor as well Tiber Rubio and Martinez were able to follow MAA was continuing to set the pace and then that was that 36 km remained when T pachar took off 5 and 1 half K from the top and then a long descent to the Finish he closed the Gap around 40 seconds when he went very very quickly and he soon pull half a minute out in the Chasers gaps were developing behind between the GC contenders Gant Thomas had 2 minutes 25 of a buffer on the likes of TI to stay on the podium and poacha just increasing his lead in the general classification ahead and about to go into a superb position where he could take another stage bellari briefly h on his wheel but bachu will be all alone over the final Summit the last of the jeto Giants conquered by the main man from Slovenia valan was doing a great job for Ben o Conor and garite Thomas was helping to save his own place in third spot as well only 15 to 20 seconds are so able to be taken by the likes of pelari Martinez tiberi and Rubio the crowds were magnificent out there the noise was elevated the entertainment yet again high octane Bacha was putting on yet another show descending not taking any chances and trying to hold that two-minute Gap he had to those chases T would take the chance to try and attack on The Descent but he wouldn’t be able to get ahead whereas Thomas along with okona were coming back the Welshman was about to extend his own record as the oldest ever finish at the Jalia on the podium 38 years old on this very day Martinez put in one final dig but he wasn’t really going anywhere a short climb in the middle of The Descent seeing everything come back together again 2 minutes 10 seconds behind the advancing Pacha Monte graa had been conquered twice then and pogacha he was on his way to Rome he just had a few pedal Strokes to go prettier in pink and knowing this time he’d won on the roads of what was the most Serene Republic of Venice here he was all alone as cool and calm as you like the winner the Entertainer POG in pink and perfect and barring incident or accident on the roads of Rome today poacha will win the Jalia by almost 10 minutes a six stage win for him in a single jido that’s more than even Eddie ma the last time anybody won six stages in any Grand Tour was 15 years before this when Mark Cavendish did it at the tour to France the second place on the day went to b a nice reward all of his work for Beno Conor third to Martinez Thomas coming across the line and during that Podium spot at 38 years of age all the celebrations for bachar indeed take a b that was very special for the sixth time at this jeto Bacha pant Martinez the top three

  1. You'd have to be an imbecile or hypocrite to imagine that a professional cyclist who rides 235 days a year can hold himself together without stimulants.
    Jacques Anquetil

  2. I'll miss the daily commentary in the style of Inspector Clouseau. No worries though, in July they'll all be called something different.

  3. A joke realty , one man just making every other rider in the peloton look like amateur’s . Don’t get me wrong I love the way he races but just a shame nobody can get near him this year makes the racing boring and let’s hope the Tour de France 🇫🇷 isn’t going to be like this let’s hope he gets challenged . He’s doing wonders for cycling to which is a good thing

  4. Pogi is a graceful winner… waving and often giving an appreciative bow crossing the line. Riders like Remco, however, not so much… I hate watching that guy thump his chest and giving childish hand symbols.

  5. Making it look easy. It’s nice to see but without meaningful competition these races are just predictable. I hope Vingegaard is recovering fast.

  6. After watching cycling for over 30 years, Pogacar is further ahead of the rest than anyone I've ever seen, even the Armstrong era, it's difficult not to something something is up.

  7. most boring Giro ever, I love Pogacar, but its when there is no rivals its boring, usually I follow the 3 big, giro, vuelta and tou, although this year I have only watched some stages highlights, when there are no rivals, at least to keep it close, the show loses, I dont know but I guess this year giro was probably the one with less audience, at least if we consider the last 10 years, ironic because is the pogacar first time

  8. Totally dominated. Remco, Roglic and Jonas really are going to have to bring their A game to the TdF to stop it been a one man show.

  9. I can't stand hearing any more about boring greedy Pudgy Please stop praising him it's not natural that he is so lazy and so fast. Thinking Lance Arnstrong

  10. I have said it before, and I will say it againg. Poga is terrible. He is not doing this to win a stage (he has five already) He is not doing this to win the Giro (That is already done with) He is doing this because he thinks it is fun. How can anybody compete with this,

  11. Wait for Pog being Pog he goes on an early attack tomorrow just to make sure he gets those 10+ minutes…😂

    After all he only needs to put 6-7 seconds into Martinez, how hard can it be?

  12. There cannot be any sports without fans, BUT fans gotta have respect for the players and the game. You cannot just pat on the cyclists who are climbing the hill with all their energy!😠😠
