Giro d’Italia Stage 20 – Passa del Tonale

The spectacle of Stage 20 is another reason why I love the Giro so much. What other race sends the riders up snow capped mountains with ski season still in full swing? The organizers had a few other routes planned in case snow fell like the forecast had predicted, however judging by past history it would have taken a blizzard for them to change the route.

How exciting was it seeing Lloydie battling it out for the mountains classification and getting back the jersey!

Vino was up there early on battling it out with Matty Lloyd for the KOM points

Richie Porte right up there with the big guns! 19th place was his result today and sitting in 6th on GC

Pozzato was almost 26mins back at the finish today

You can't say Cadel didn't fight for it. He's 5th on GC at 3:47 down on Basso
