Giro d’Italia Stage 17: Steinhauser Solos to Glory

Giro debutante Georg Steinhauser of EF Coaching EasyPost accomplished off his latest escape effort to lastly win a stage of the Giro d’Italia, at Passo Brocon. The son of former skilled Tobias Steinhauser left the peloton with the day’s breakaway, and survived alone after leaving Trek’s Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier and Israel-Premier Tech’s Marco Frigo behind for good on the Passo Brocon’s first ascent. He was away with nobody in sight for the final word climb, and whereas the GC contenders briefly made some noise on the end, with UAE’s Tadej Pogacar extending his lead by taking second place, it was a day for the EF climber to make his title for himself.

Selva di Val Gardena – Passo Brocon 159 km

Pray for good local weather (unlikely) for what’s more likely to be the prettiest mountain stage this 12 months. All Dolomite goodness.

Estimated finish time: 16:50-17-30 CEST

Dolomite Dynamite of the Day: Damiano Caruso

Betting we get right now as an alternative what we didn’t get yesterday.

(This appears to be all set for a breakaway so we’re looking for a strong climber on respectable form who isn’t threatening anyone on GC and who isn’t tied up with totally different workforce duties.)
